By the way, the movie doesn't come close to covering the depth of what is in the book. They kept the movie more mainstream, less dense, and too watered down in terms of the spirituality Elizabeth had covered in her book. I still enjoyed the movie. Julia Robertswas great. The acting was wonderfully cast and the performances were wonderful. That wasn't the problem. There was something about the way the movie was filmed which felt like they were keeping the audience at a distance. The movie would have gone over better if they just kept the filming/camera angles as they are for most movies instead of trying whatever they did which I found distracting and took away from the movie's experience.

Post a CommentGood points. I have heard a lot about this book.
I also just finished Eat, Pray, Love! Just last week! I put off reading the book for quite a while because I have read many critical comments on the book, all in the vein of--"Oh, poor rich woman isn't happy with her life, so sad..." Of course, that was a major lesson to me not to put so much weight into others' criticism. I absolutely loved the book and can't wait to read her new one, "Committed," about her marriage to Filipe. I will probably see the movie eventually, although I know I will be disappointed that it doesn't quite do the book justice...but then, movies never do quite live up to our favorite books.
Great review, sounds very interesting, well done.
Movies never seem to rise to the books...I haven't read the book or seen the movie yet...think I'll see the movie first so I'm not disappointed:)
