Note Written: 25 August 2015

This is the second time I'm watching this film. 'Julie and Julia' is one of my favourite movies on food- wait, it is in the list of my all-time favourites since it's about food and also because of the splendid performance by Meryl Streep as Julia Child. The movie is perhaps the most prominent of movies based on a blog.Amy Adams and Meryl Streep are perfect in their renditions of Julie Powell and Julia Child, homemaker's and passionate cooks from two time period's and two places. I was glad I watched the movie after a decent lunch, otherwise I would have struggled a lot seeing all those amazing dishes on screen. The life in New York of the Powell couple and the life in Paris of the Child couple are portrayed with honesty by the director, Nora Ephron (that was such a shallow sentence, I know). Anyways, I like this movie a lot. Will watch it again. I have a plan to make Beef Bourignon sometime- Julia Child's Beef Bourignon. In these tumultuous times where intolerance against beef eaters increases in India, I am worried about my eating and culinary passion for beef. I hope this stage passes and everybody gets to eat what they want, without being disturbed. I would like to end this note now by thanking Nora Ephron for this wonderful movie.
