I believe that everyone who has seen the movie is deeply impressed by a line in the movie.
"You are the butter to my bread,
and the breath to my life"
"You are the butter on my bread and the breath of my life."
The film tells the story of two women in a different time and space, who face the crisis of life by learning to cook, and finally find their own suitable direction.
Julie and Julia is a feature film directed by nora ephron and starring Meryl Streep and amy adams.
The film is based on sweet relationship: Julie and Julia by Julie Powell and My French Years by Julia Child.
The film uses the method of narration, and tells the story of two women on the food road at the same time. The support of husbands is a highlight of this film to find the meaning and value of life. While pursuing their own life value, they also let us know that love can exist at the same time.
Julia, a slightly fat, tall and lovely American old lady, started with Julia following her diplomat husband Paul to France. When she saw everything in France, the old lady was as happy as a 18-year-old girl. She said the simple French vocabulary that her husband had just taught her, and stood in front of the window on the second floor of the castle and said "Versailles", which made me like the old lady at once.
when she was in America, she was a clerk. After coming to France, he told her husband that he didn't like the position of secretary and wanted to do something else. So she tried to make hats and learn to play bridge. No matter what Julia did, her husband Paul didn't stop her and didn't give any advice. He just asked her, "Do you like it?"
It was not until Julia failed in her attempt that Paul slowly led her to understand that her favorite food was delicious food.
When she was studying cooking in cooking school, she learned how to cook eggs, peel potatoes and cut onions. In cooking school, she and a group of male chefs were determined not to lose to anyone. Although the servant was responsible for cooking in the society at that time, Julia in the upper class didn't care about other people's opinions, so she decided to sign up for an advanced training class. In the training class, she beat the male chef in everything from a woman who was laughed at by others for being unable to do anything.
By cooking, as a clerk, she regained her longing for life, in a foreign land, in a foreign land, at her age of over 511.
She turned her cookbook into a book called Mastering the Art of French Cuisine after eight years of hardships.
Julia's life is more about her love and persistence, but her husband's love and support for Julia has also made Julia. Let her be a woman who knows how to love. Only those who really know how to love can her life become open and wonderful.
The daily life of the middle-aged couple in the play is far more real and moving than the hysteria in the youth play.
When facing delicious food, Julia will say the most affectionate confession that only those who eat food can understand.
Paul will take photos with his camera when Julia is cooking in the vegetable market, give Julia the cooking tools she wants on Valentine's Day, talk about their past at dinner, and then express his deep affection.
The most touching thing is that when Julia shared the recipe of butter white sauce with her sister, she was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to describe it …
Paul answered "Tanginess" very well!
Julia said to her sister shyly and proudly, "That's the man I married."
Their love is not vigorous, but just rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. They support each other, understand each other and understand each other.
It will make everyone who has seen the movie believe that this is the best love.
More than 51 years later, there was a woman who was almost 31 years old, namely Julia's fan. Living in new york, I majored in literature in college and dreamed of becoming a novelist. I wrote a book but no one wanted to publish it. She worked odd jobs for several years, and now she has a relatively stable job in a government agency. However, there is no beautiful appearance and no glamorous family background. So ordinary, when she was 31 years old, she found that her life was gray, her life was not stable enough, her ordinary life was always full of disappointments, and her ideal life became more and more out of reach. She was also frustrated. With the help of communication with her husband, she decided to give herself a different challenge in a year's time.
She decided to learn to cook according to the recipes in her idol's book Mastering The Art Of French Cooking, and learned to cook 524 dishes in this book in one year. And record the food road on the blog.
With her husband's support, she started her career as a blogger of grassroots gourmet.
But her friends don't think much of Julie's attempt. They think it's an unattainable challenge.
But no matter how difficult it was, Julie persisted in finishing it. She tries to save money and spend it where necessary. I also learned to kill lobsters, remove the bones of ducks, and do many things that I have never tried before and even felt afraid of.
Her husband has always been Julie's most loyal supporter and companion. He accompanied her to set up a blog, watched Julia's food program late at night, and gave her the same pearl necklace when she was 31. It contains her bad temper after cooking failure, even if she quarrels and slams the door, but after seeing Julie's blog, she should warm Julie up first after going home.
Julie told Eric what Paul once said with tears in front of all her friends at the celebration party after completing the challenge:
"You are the butter to my bread, and the breath to my life."
Julie's blog was never visited at all from the beginning, until the first comment from her mother persuaded her to give up such a stupid plan. Later, her food plan was gradually discovered by more people, and even brought some troubles to her work. A lot of things happened that she didn't expect.
Even in the process of completing this food plan, Julie sometimes indulges in it too much and ignores the emotional interaction between herself and her husband.
But no matter what difficulties she met, Julie chose to stick to it. She chose to face the challenge directly, and she constantly adjusted herself and tried her own way to deal with the challenge. Since then, her life has undergone some magical changes because of this challenge. Her blog has attracted more and more attention. In addition to being published in newspapers, there are also publishers to contact for publication. These magic changes have hit Julie.
when you find your own passion and continue to be willing to pay for it, you can always get better results.
One should always love something in one's life, just like vegetation's love for time. As long as you can love something, even if you encounter many difficulties on the long road of life, it can rekindle your love for life and repair the relationship between you and life.
In today's life, there is less and less love to strip away utility. People always compare reality with it, and then throw themselves into reality, thinking that those things are useless, but whether they are useful or not depends on the degree of love. It's easy to enjoy liking a thing, but it's hard to love a thing, including people.
Life will always encounter all kinds of crises, but the most fascinating thing about life is that it will always last, and no crisis can stop our life. Just like Julie and Julia, they regain their initiative in cooking and have more control over their lives, so they become more mature and calm, and they are more daring to take responsibility for their own lives.
What has changed them is not only their husbands' love and care and cooking skills, but more importantly, their mood changes in the process of doing this. The way they live together has changed, and they have begun to create their own world.
I like this story so much that I watched it twice in a month. I like the energy that Julia likes to toss about. I like her true feelings when she is facing cooking and food. I like her perseverance when she encounters difficulties in writing a book. Similarly, Julie, even if there is a failed recipe, she will lose her temper and get depressed, but she will stick to it.
In fact, life is like this. You will encounter many difficulties when you find what you love, but the most meaningful thing in life is that when you get over these hardships, you will find that you have met another better self.
Just like Julie and Julia, they found a better self and value in life through love and food.
