Julie & Julia

It has been a while i have watched a good movie after Avatar
And so it happened when i first reached in Teluk Intan for my holiday..
Me and my brother go out and search for some games and i was hoping to get a nice movie to watch for my holiday..
And then..kaboom...i saw Meryl Streep is on the cover of the pirated Blue Ray disc..and I think no more..i just grab it..Julie & Julia is the title of it...Im a big fan of Meryl Streep
She is a natural born talented actress...after the movie The Devil's Wear Prada..I was totally in love with her..
So back to the story of Julie & Julia..It is based on the 2 true stories...It really inspired me...

Ok here is the plot :

In the year 2002, Julie Powell (Amy Adams) is a young writer trapped in a rather unpleasant job at the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation's call center, where she answers telephone calls from victims of the September 11 attacks, as well as members of the general public calling to complain about the LMDC's controversial plans for rebuilding the World Trade Center. To enliven her dreary life, she attempts to cook every recipe in Julia Child's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which was published in 1961, and writes a blog to document her progress.

Woven into her story is the story of Julia Child's time in Paris, in the 1950s, in which she discovers the art of French cooking. The plot structure carefully highlights similarities in the challenges encountered by both Julie and Julia. Both women get much support from their husbands, although at one point Powell's husband is fed up with her excessive devotion to her hobby and leaves her briefly for a few days.

Eventually, Julie's blog is highlighted in a story published in the New York Times, after which her project finally begins to receive the attention of journalists, literary agents, and publishers, as well as a dismissive response from Child herself. After Julia's book is initially rejected by Houghton Mifflin, it is eventually accepted and published by Alfred A. Knopf. The last scene shows Julia Child receiving a first print of her cookbook and celebrating the event with her husband.
