Julie & Julia is a story about how a normal woman named Julie in the modern world, who works a monotone job for the government and is known to never finish anything she starts, can transform herself through the art of cooking. She picks up the cookbook of Julia Child, who is known to be one of the world's first female celebrity chefs. As she reads through the book, she uncovers Julia's story of how she got into cooking, including all of the ups and downs of maintaining a married life and fighting to be a woman chef.
If I were to be one person in the movie, I would probably choose to be the husband of Julie, Eric Powell simply because of his characteristics. He is a friendly, loving husband who is always supportive of Julie throughout the movie. Plus, he gets to eat the amazing food Julie makes from the recipe book!
However, life is not always smooth, and Eric does end up fighting with Julie and leaving for a day or two. Despite this fight, the chemistry between Julie and Eric (she believes that she's lucky for getting married to Eric) and a little help from Julia (her problems with her cooking partners and her husband's job) helps Julie realize that she has become too full of herself and her cooking, and brings the two back together.
All in all, Julia's cookbook is more than just a mere cookbook for foods; it's a recipe for life itself. Life has its ups and downs, but with positive thinking and doing what you love with the people you love, your life can change for the better.
