Advantages: Award worthy performances,strong screenplay Disadvantages: the subject might not appeal to many
Julia and Julia is director Nora Ephron's adaptation of two books:one written by Julia Child and another by Julie Powell.Any film that takes life from life itself is usually good and this film is no different.
The film tells the story of Julia Child,the author of the famous cookbook and Julie Powell,a simple working woman who decides to make Julia's recipes by herself and decides to write a blog about it.The two stories(one set in 1940s when Julia was young and another set in 2002 when Julie is reading Julia's book) run parallely on screen and unfolds gradually on screen. Both women share lot of similarities in their respective lives and the director lays it down beautifully for the viewer to experience.
If you feel this is a film for women,you are certainly mistaken.Yes,the central characters are women and it involves cooking ...
Advantages: Mostly characterization? plus the play is short and makes a good read Disadvantages: A little painful like all tragedies
(Takes out a silver coin and throws it on the table): Allow
me, I don't want to owe anything to anyone.
and the memorable quote:
JULIE: ? A servant is a servant.
JEAN: And a whore is a whore.
Even worse, as soon as Jean hears the orders of Julie's father, and as is the case with Pavlov's dog, he loses all his art and becomes nothing but a lowly servant.
Is Strindberg a misogynist? Is his play a condemnation of the upper class? Is it possible for readers to sympathize with Jean and accuse Julie of being a spoiled aristocrat? Absolutely. As is the case with The Father, the play is beautifully open for interpretation. Happy reading!
