Julie and Julia

Julie and Julia is a movie about two women that is developed in different time and places, one is in France and the other in the United States. This is a love-comedy that shows al the challenge that this two women faces. In this essay I will explain the similarities and differences of each one.

At the beginning of the movie is clear that the two women wanted to do something different and show to the other people that they have capabilities even when the people didn’t believe in them. For example Julia doesn’t want to be alone at home so she goes outside and look for different things to do and that is when she started to learn cooking.

Neither Julie nor Julie knows anything about cooking but in the case of Julia takes classes and learn how to cook. In the case of Julie she takes the book that Julia did and do again all the recipes.

One of the most representative similarities of these characters is that the husbands are always there next to the women and even in the worst cases they fight but later they fix their problems.

In the differences we can find the time and space development of the movie, because one is made in France in 1949 and the other in New York in 2002.

Also in the differences it is important to know that Julie works for the government and is unhappy and Julia doesn’t work, only her husband that is constantly travelling by all the American territory and also the world.

And one of the biggest differences, but one of the objectives of the movie is that Julie wants to prepare all the recipes that Julia created and Julia in that time only wanted to learn cooking.

As a conclusion, this is a movie that has two different spaces, times and objectives of the actresses because one of them wanted to cook and the other wants to overcome a challenge in 365 days.
