It looks like two different parallel lines, but in the end they magically intersect because of something in common.
Julia, a legendary figure in the last century, a government secretary, is in her fifties; The husband is an official of the American embassy and travels around the world with him all the year round. Kindness, liveliness, intelligence and firmness. Once, she came to France with her husband, a gourmet paradise. She fell in love with France, French cuisine and French cooking. Also found her lifelong pursuit. With the support and encouragement of her husband, she studied hard, became the first excellent female chef in cooking school, and wrote the first French cooking book in English. However, the publishing process is also very difficult. Because the recipe was too thick, she was repeatedly rejected. Finally, with the help of an American female editor, her book was published, and she finally realized her dream of pushing French cuisine to the whole country for the first time. When she opened the letter that the female editor agreed to publish, she and her husband danced on her small balcony.
Julie, a follower of this century, is 30 years old this year. She loves writing and cooking, but she has to work as a telephone operator in a state-owned enterprise and lead a busy and colorless life every day. The husband is an ordinary person who works in a newspaper. They live in a shabby little apartment. She once had a whim to write an article on all the dishes in one year according to Julia's French cookery book, and write the process and experience on her blog. During the period, she also suffered many setbacks, and her mother kept hitting her; The boss claimed to fire her; There are many difficulties in cooking; The reporter who had an appointment for dinner stood her up. Finally, with her husband's tolerance and encouragement, she persisted and got everyone's attention. Newspapers and publishers are competing to cooperate with her. Her dream has come true. She hung up the phone of the publishing house and shouted, I'm going to be a writer! Her husband smiled in bed. You are a writer.
Two women who once lived an ordinary and simple life, because of their persistence and persistence in their dreams, and because of the encouragement and tolerance of their families, finally embarked on their own extraordinary life path.
These are two very touching stories, and happiness can be seen in the plain. Personally, I think it is a very good female movie.
Meryl Streep and amy adams acted very well. Meryl Streep, in particular, is as charming as ever. She is a super acting school, playing Julia as a careless, cheerful, kind and persistent woman who loves her very much.
Of course, you can simply regard it as a sweet love story.
Julia and her husband Paul are the happiest couple I have ever seen on the screen or in real life. They love each other, accept each other, tolerate each other, encourage each other and understand each other.
Julia followed Paul and moved from here to there without even knowing where her home was. She loves him with all her heart. Wherever he goes, she follows without complaint. Whenever he met with difficulties, she stood by him and gave him understanding and gentleness. On her birthday, Paul said to her, "Thank you, Julie, you are the butter on my bread and the breath of my life." She laughed heartily.
Paul has been encouraging Julia, helping her and understanding her. When she said she wanted to cook, he bought her a cooker and cookbook, although it was in French; When she said she couldn't understand the book, he said he would translate it into English; When she was so depressed because her book was rejected by the publisher again, Paul held her hand and said, "Your book is great. Your book will change the world." Besides, "Fuck them."
He said to her, "Let's go home." Julia smiled. "Where is home?"
He said, "Home is where we are."
