BEDA Day 13: Eat Pray Love

Technically it is no longer August 13th. So perhaps that means I fail for today. But I am going to blog about today (as in the the 13th) so....exception?

I just saw the movie Eat Pray Love. While I was watching it I thought about how theme parks always have music playing. Constantly. I understand why now. If the world had theme music playing constantly, where ever we went, it would be exceptionally more romantic and ideal. Because movies have soundtracks they give us an unrealistic expectation of life. Hey World, from now on could you please always play the perfect song for what is happening in my life and how I am feeling? Please, thank you.

In regards to the movie. I liked it (but I like almost everything). It was very relevant to how I think a lot of people think and feel. However, I did kind of feel like the main character sorta took on the characteristics of a Stephanie Meyer heroine. She made very rash decisions when it came to love and life. Meaning I could not always trust her decisions as what I would do in her situation. She was definitely ruled by in-the-moment emotions, which I mean, yes...I do that. But I often find myself wondering, "Did I make the right choice?" And I cannot help but imagine that she spent most of her time wondering the same. I believe this movie was made as an adaptation of a book, and I could definitely tell. This is one of those stories that the thoughts and emotions of the protagonist MAKE the story what it is. If I had more incite into the character's brain, I think it would have had an infinitely more powerful message, and I would have been able to relate to her more. Do not get me wrong. I liked it a lot. The message was great and the story was very beautiful and one that any person who is human can relate to and understand. But I am certain that the book is better. In conclusions, it is a much more substantial movie that the ones you can usually see these days. I would say borderline Wes Andersonesque. Deep. Emotional. True. Literary? I dunno...I could say more. But for now...

In other news, I got a parking ticket while I was in the movie.

Parking tickets this year: 10
