Eat Pray Love - 3784
**Posted by cindy at 11:13 PM
"Eat Pray Love" is a movie about a New York writer who takes some time off and spends a year traveling after her divorce. She goes to the three "I's:" Italy (to eat), India (to pray), and finally to Indonesia (where she finds love).
Based on the book of same name by Liz Gilbert, I would say the movie lacks the emotions which readers of the book experience.

In the movie, Liz Gilbert, the protagonist, seems much more a selfish person than in the book. While in the book we can sort of understand and "see" her suffering and unhappiness before divorce, in the movie we only see a selfish woman who seems unhappy for apparently no reason.
Regarding "mis-en-scene," the places were well chosen to represent the countries Liz Gilbert goes, such as Naples and the pizza place in Italy, as well as the gorgeous places in Bali.
As most of the time, in my opinion , books are better than the movie version Eat Pray Love is not an exception. Although I still recommend the movie.
