This is the headline of a movie I rented on DVD some weeks ago. The movie is called “Julie & Julia” and I loved it! Why? For so many reasons, not just one.
This is a movie about cooking and the passion for cooking that bonds two women in different times and places. It’s also about following our passions and what makes us happy in life, and fighting for them. It’s about the pleasure and happiness we feel when we eat tasty food. It’s about leadership, followership, inspiration, admiration, action, change and resiliency. It’s about writing and getting started with blogging. It’s about hard work, trial and error, practice, experience, learning and development. It’s about women and the amazing things that passionate and talented women can achieve. It’s about gender dynamics and differences, and dealing with them. It’s about love, partnership, friendship, people and emotions.

The movie is played by excellent actresses and actors, it’s a comedy and my husband and I had very good laughs thanks to it. Moreover, I could see pieces of myself in both Julie and Julia and this really touched me deeply… and it helped me realize I too have what it takes!
How about you, do you have what it takes?
PS. Sorry, I will not tell the whole story of Julie and Julia – you will have to discover it yourself by watching the movie. And if you don’t like it, tell me why. If you do like the movie, tell me why!

I watched this movie when my wife rented it. I did not know anything about it beforehand. However once I started watching it was impossible to stop. The script was good and it was interesting how to characters were built around the cooking subject. I enjoyed it as it was an unusual movie.
