I'm starting a new thread for discussion of this movie, because I think it will generate quite a lot of talk -- opinions and ideas. It opens in theaters on Friday, August 7th. I was lucky to be invited to a preview last evening so I will give you my impressions, but I won't give you too many details. I don't want to spoil it for you.
The movie is as much a love story as it is about food. And I loved the depiction of Julia and Paul's relationship. Julie Powell was there last evening. She answered questions at the end of the movie and I had a chance to speak with her briefly. I liked her better than the characterization of her in the movie. I have not yet read the book (they gave us one last evening, and she signed them for us) so I don't know whether I like the book better than the movie.
The scenery is fantastic. Two of my favorite places in the world, France and New York! And I will also advise you; DON"T go to see it when you are hungry. The food is incredibly appetizing.
Come on back after you've seen the movie and let's talk.
