Child's Love

I just watched Julie & Julia again and can’t tell you how impressed I was. First of all, Meryl Streep is just amazing. How she is able to take on the personalities of other people so well, I just don’t know.

Julia Child was a fascinating lady! The love that she and her husband had for each other is depicted in such a wonderful way in the movie. And after seeing so many movies where men are played as completely nincompoops or bungling idiots, it was refreshing to see a husband played as the complete opposite. In a strange way, the way the movie explained Julia and Paul Child’s love and relationship gave me hope for love myself. In Hollywood and in magazines it is so easy to get caught up in the idea that only the beautiful people are happy or find love. But you see, Julia Child was not a pretty woman and was not physically perfect. She was extremely tall woman at least 6’2, while her husband was 5’11. But he fell completely and totally in love with her. They were happily married until his death at 91 years old!

Now that’s love!
