The film is adapted from elizabeth gilbert's autobiography Eat, Play and Love published in 2006.
The hostess is a writer, with a decent job, a loving husband and a good life in the eyes of others. But she has been living in the envy and expectation of others, never herself.
Finally, one day, she found that her life was meaningless, so she decided to give up everything and choose to follow her heart and embark on a journey of finding herself.
That year, the woman was 34 years old and experienced divorce, depression and lovelorn.
Every stage of life should be alive. Don't be trapped in the past experience and life, and don't choose not to change because of your age.
The first stop of the hostess went to Italy. There, she enjoyed delicious food and beautiful scenery with friends, eating authentic spaghetti and Neapolitan pizza. She really felt the pleasure brought by the delicious food.
She studied Italian and discussed the Italian philosophy of life with the local people, from which she gradually realized the sweetness of Italian laziness and the freedom and casualness in laziness.
The second stop is India. She studied meditation there, and from the beginning, she couldn't hold on at all until the end, and gradually learned to communicate and reconcile with herself.
The last stop is Bali, Indonesia. There, she met a master who taught her to balance her heart. Slowly, she found herself living a happy and pious life.
However, the reappearance of love has made the hostess afraid of losing her existing peace and hard-won self. The master told her that sometimes losing balance is also part of a balanced life, so that she can learn to trust.
The woman finally crossed her past and chose trust.
She visited three countries on this trip. I personally like Italy, probably because I am a foodie.
Italians always give me the feeling of freedom and laziness. They know how to enjoy life, like to express their true selves, and also have their own exquisiteness.
I used to work on an Italian cruise ship, so I met many Italians. What impressed me the most was a cruise ship president from Italy. His temperament is really unforgettable, and "handsome" can't be used on him!
The heroine's life in the movie is beyond most people's reach, but no matter how excellent and perfect the person is, there are also pressures and troubles that are difficult for him to get out of.
What really makes people different, I think, is to let go of the past and know yourself.
So, let's cross over. Don't live in other people's expectations and opinions, let go of yourself, choose the truth and listen to your heart. Every decision should be made without regret.
There is a passage in this movie that impressed me the most:
If you really want to see everything you have experienced in your journey as a reminder, treat everyone you meet as a mentor. The most important thing is to be prepared to face and forgive the unpleasant qualities in yourself, so the truth will not be too far away.
Most people like to travel, and feel that traveling can temporarily escape from their original life and bring another spiritual experience. But we often just spend money, energy, make friends, gain weight, and then there is no more.
I used to be like this, so now I want to make some changes. ......
This movie was recommended to me by Olivia Ernie, and it is one of her life movies. Because of this movie, some interesting stories happened to us, which was a surprise.
I'm komori. We should thank people who appear in our lives and forgive their ignorance. The most important thing is to love yourself, because that is the beginning of a romantic life.
End.
