Julie and Julia are the two heroes of the movie, but they never meet each other. Food - the love of food - connects their lives. In two eras, the two parallel story lines intersect with Julie's cookery book. There are no ups and downs in the film, but the plain story has the magic to be impressive and memorable. It still inspires me to improve myself even after several years. Julia is a government clerk. Her job is to answer hundreds of phone calls every day. Life is stagnant and boring. The only thing that makes her happy is cooking. She has a great idea: to cook famous TV chef Julia Child's 524 French cuisine recipes in 365 days. The task is not as easy as she imagines. Julia experiences difficulties, failures and almost gives up. However, she persists. Like Julie, a middle age American housewife living in Paris, she never gives up her pursuit of her dreams. Julia succeeds; she and her blog become popular. The real success of her one-year assignment is gaining self-awareness and finding out the meaning of life and love.Julie and Julia's story tells us that nothing is too late. You just need to start and persevere. A small change and challenge will make your life quite different. What are you waiting for? Take action and move nearer to your dreams.
