It's not just about Food
It has to be for Meryl Streep =)
Probably the most versatile & recognized actress of contemporary times, she has really won me over with her stellar performances in various films. Think the Devil in Prada, Mama Mia!, the nun in Doubt and finally as Julia Child in Julie&Julia.
Everything about Meryl is Julia, and I wonder how her accent and high pitched tone comes about.
Some movie critics may have put Amy Adams down as she acts alongside with Meryl but I think she is still quite commendable. Julia seems too perfect to exist while Amy's portrayl of Julie Powell is someone much more realistic and real in the modern times which I can relate to. I can totally relate to the sense of loss she felt in her life, how under-achieved she feels as compared to her high flying peers and how she struggles to make a name for herself. Julie Powell gives hope to all of us. Someone so ordinary who has achieved such extraordinary feat in her life after some perseverence, and telling us that Dreams don't Lie.
I feel hopeful after watching the show. It gives hope to people like me. Cooking or not, what matters is putting your heart and soul in it =)
Let's all Dream~
