Eat Pray Love
Have you ever seen the movie yet? Or at least read the book?
Honestly i haven’t read it yet too. Lol. But that’s ok, since the movie was great. Me and my friends love it very much. So here i am, trying to make some review about the movie (again, not about the book 
)
This is the true story about Elizabeth Gilbert (Liz). Yep, she’s also the author of the book. And the story is exactly what the book’s all about.
As a woman, Liz has her own dreams (i do have one too!). One of them for Liz is to travel around the world before she died. That’s why she collected National Geographic Articles, etc. One day, she was traveling to Bali and met an old Fortuneteller, named Ketut. He looked at her and told her that she might be on a short marriage and she might lost all of her money, but then she will get it again. Ketut gave her some advices to stay in balance living on earth and hope that she will be back to Bali someday and teach him english, as he will teach Liz everything he knew in return.
Six months later, Liz finally reminded about her old dream to travel around the world. And she found out that she’s no longer match to her hubby. (i won’t spoil you about the detail story ) Therefore she decided that it was the right time to over their marriage. And As she tried to pulled herself up after the divorce plan, Liz met her actor: David. He played part on Liz’ some kind of play. From eye-to-eye, comes love between them. They lived together, and David thaught her about his Guru from India. But their love wasn’t strong enough to make each other happy. Then Liz decided to find her true life meaning by taking days off for 1 year and used the time to find her old appetite in Italy, to pray and also meet David’s Guru in India.. and finally close the year in Bali.
In Italy, Liz met a very nice woman who already 6 weeks in Italy (Sophie). She was the one who introduce Liz to a big family in Italy, and one of the member is Sophie’s lover who also Liz’ Italian language teacher. Liz made a beautiful friendship with Sophie. Amazed to many exotic foods like she never had one. Learned the meaning of loving and to be loved in a whole family. Then finally they all questioned about Liz’ word (a word that can describe her life entirely). Well, she didn’t have the clue.
In India, Liz felt graceful for everything that she saw. She lived at David’s Guru place. At first she felt disturbed, since she has to wake up early in the morning to meditation, go to Sava (clean up the place without getting anything else in return. that’s a must for everyone who lives there), even she couldn’t stay for a minute in meditation cave. She also disturbed by an old man (Richard from Texas) at first. He kept on telling Liz what to do and don’t. But Liz got an Indian girl friend, named Tulsi. a 17 years old girl who was forced by the family to marry a briliant boy she not even met before. Liz felt sorry for the girl as she remember the day she married her ex-husband. Thats the time when she finally found out the past story about Richard. (you should watch it) And learned to forgive herself just like Richard did. By the end of Liz’ time in India, she learned that God is on us, as us.
Then in Bali, Liz met Ketut again. Ketut told her to mix everything that she has learned in Italy and India. Ketut also ask Liz to do Indian meditation every morning, and a new meditation: meditation with smile from face, from mind and also from liver (LoL). One day still in Bali, Liz was riding her bicycle when suddenly a man carelessly drove his car and crashed Liz. Liz told that she needed a medicine from Wayan, a Baliness traditional curer woman. Wayan is a single mother for an only little daughter after her divorced. She spent lots of money to manage the divorce, even she has to sell everything she owned include the bathroom doormat. But there, Liz met a party girl who invited Liz to come to a beach party that night. Liz put her finest dress on and came to the party. Again, She met the car crasher: Felipe, a Brazilian who got a divorce with one 19 years old son. Later, Felipe became Liz’ tour guide. And as you may guess, they were falling into each other. In Bali Liz learned to love the world by helping Wayan and her daughter, Tutti (in italian means everybody) to gather $18.000 to buy a house in Indonesia. Liz also learned the meaning of living in balance, and that sometimes breaking the balance for love is worth it.
Find this story attractive? then you should figure the whole story by watching the movie or reading the book. LoL.
