Eat-Pray-Love

Hollywood’s ‘Pretty Woman’ stars in Ryan Murphy’s ‘Eat Pray Love’. The movie is based on the memoir Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Julia Robert has herself produced the movie with Brad Pitt. ‘Eat Pray Love’ is about a woman realizing that she is not getting what she wants out of life, and, after a painful divorce, sets out on a journey of self discovery that takes her around the world. The movie also stars Javier Bardem, Billy Crudup, Richard Jenkins and James Franco.

Ryan Murphy , director of Multiple Emmy award winning serial ‘Glee’, has directed this movie, while the cinematography has been done by Robert Richardson. ‘Eat Pray Love’ which began filming in August 2009 has been shot in a budget of $60 million. Spanning across three of the world’s most culturally diverse countries, viz. Italy, India and Indonesia, the movie covers the vivid aspects of the countries very finely and the experiences of Elizabeth (Julia Roberts) in the countries.

The film is broken down into four separate acts – the film’s prologue where Elizabeth’s personal breakdown happens in New York; her search for great food in Italy; searching for her spiritual centre in India; and finally reaching an emotional balance in Bali. Each act is distinct in its manner and subject and we see Liz grow emotionally and spiritually through each experience. It is only an actress like Julia Roberts that can make a character like Elizabeth Gilbert seem three dimensional and not artificial and whiney. We want her to find herself, and this sort of connection is crucial for a movie like Eat Pray Love. Her best moments are when she shares the screen with James Franco as both actors play off each other delightfully.

Julia Roberts makes the changeover into Elizabeth’s world natural and James Franco once again proves what a remarkable actor he is. As clichéd as it may sound, Eat Pray Love is something of an experience, both visually and emotionally. Movie enthusiasts can watch the Eat Pray Love trailer on NyooTV.com.
