:: Attraversiamo ::

Last night I went to watch Eat Pray Love.

Like other any other movies that are adapted from books.

This movie doesn’t do the book and the whole story any justice.

This one is way below my expectation.

But again.

How can you expect a 352 pages of story to have been told fully in a 2 hour movie?

But I think they really should`ve highlighted some important facts of the book.

Like first of all.

I don’t think ppl really understand why was she crying in the bathroom.

Talking to God for the first time.

And the voice that she heard saying

“Go back to bed, Liz!”

They didn’t even come back to tell whom does the voice belong to?

And how did the voice comes?

Because after all.

The voice was the one helping her out through the bad times.

And finally she got to know whose voice that was.

And where the h*ll was the notepad she uses to write to God?

That she had God replying back to her in the same book?

There were some scenes that were also very contradicting from the book.

I was really waiting for the part when Ketut says

“Why do they make it so complicated in India with meditation?”

But he did not say that in the movie at all.

Instead he straight away taught her to sit and smile!

Probably it could be a sensitive issue.

She was not asked to make the copies of the medicine books belong to Ketut.

I mean she did not have to write them down in new books.

Ketut was just showing to her.

And when she saw the books were dying.

She told Ketut she would take the books and come back after a few hours.

That was when she took the books and bring them to town.

And had them photocopied.

But in the movie.

She had to write them down!

And she wasn`t hit by Felipe`s car.

She was hit by a bus if I am not mistaken.

Can`t really recall what the vehicle was but definitely not Felipe.

They met for the first time at a party.

She did not break up with Felipe like a scene at almost the end of the movie.

It was not even on the book.

Or was it me who couldn`t recall at all?

Hurm.

And she had never met Felipe`s son.

Okay I am getting so emotional with this already.

Because I really spent time reading the book.

And the bad times she had gone through really taught me loads of things.

But I couldn’t see that in the movie making me so frustrated.

Thank God they never cut the scene where she learnt

“Attraversiamo!”

Had that word on my FB status for quite sometimes.

Hahaha.

I better stop talking before I become the worse critic on earth ever.

But really wish they would show the important parts instead of making up something that did not happen.

So.

Attraversiamo peeps :)

Have a great weekend ahead.

P/S : Sorry if I spoil your semangat berkobar2 to watch this movie.

        Owh yea.

        I think this role would be better if played by Sarah Jessica Parker.

        Oupsss hehehe.
