Among food movies, this one is considered as the best work. Even the "devil" whose height is 168 should be stretched to the visual effect of 187 under various props and lenses.
This film is based on a true story. Two American women are connected in different time and space through their love of food.
Julia is an American living in France. She is tall, cheerful and a bit like a silly elder sister. She loves food and has no cooking foundation. She once went to Blue Ribbon to learn cooking, and co-founded cooking school with two other full-time wives and published a book. All these things happened after she was in her fifties.
Another Julie lived in Queens, new york after the Millennium, and worked as the most boring and common operator in government departments, answering inexplicable complaints or phone calls every day and taking the crowded subway home after work. She also got a book, that is, French Cooking Skills written by Julia fifty years ago. In the gap between ordinary life, she grabbed this book and cooked dinner according to the recipe, illuminating 365 days and nights. Of course, there are also twists and turns in the cooking process, such as making lobster for the first time, opening duck breasts for the first time, and even ignoring the sex life with her husband.
Like Julia fifty years ago, Julie is doomed to experience inevitable failure and collapse. She still insisted on recording all the recipes on the blog that started around 2006, and eventually became famous.
In the matter of food, two completely different women with different personalities, different jobs, different growing backgrounds and different living environments have reached a resonance because of the same love. They have the same passion and perseverance for food.
The purpose of Julia's book at that time was clear: I wanted every housewife who had time to cook French food at home without a chef.
Julie's idea is also very simple: I will complete more than 500 main courses and snacks in one year according to Julia's recipe. She meticulously buys materials and provides one dish after another for her husband and friends in strict accordance with the steps written by Julia 50 years ago.
What they have in common is that they have the same delicious love relationship.
Julia met her husband when she was about forty years old. It is said that she was still a virgin, and since then she has followed him everywhere. Mutual understanding, support and ubiquitous love between two people are always gratifying. Julia went to the blue ribbon class for the first time, and the boys laughed at her for not being able to cut onions. She practiced at home and cut onions as many as hills. When her husband came home from work, he said with tears: Very good, very good, you will be a good cook, I love you. Julia's passion for cooking infected her husband, who would take pictures of her, encourage her to publish a book and give her a hug when she was weak. She followed him from France to Oslo and then back to America. Wherever she goes, she never puts down her favorite cooking. It is great to have a partner who can support you and understand you in the career you love.
Young Julie also has a supportive husband. Julie failed in cooking and was in a bad mood. She took it out on her husband and they had a quarrel. The husband spent the night in the office. The next day after work, Julie met her husband downstairs in the apartment with food. She said apologetically, please come back. The husband said, what's for dinner? Eat drink man woman, an ordinary couple, eats three meals a day and sleeps eight hours every night. In the simplest life, if we can reach an agreement on eating, if we can solve all the contradictions in eating, there will basically be no big problems.
Eating color, sex is also. The literal meaning of this old oriental saying is: delicious food and beauty are the pursuit of human nature. Can color extend to "desire" or passion and love? Can it be said that food and love are everyone's real soul destination?
365 days a year, 8760 hours, is the smallest and most common time travel for every human being. If you can decorate it with food and love, is it also a regret in this life?
How lucky and happy are you if the people you love and the food you love are at your fingertips?
