When I saw "A Cry in the Dark" 20 or so years ago, I had a sudden thought: I have never, ever, seen an American actor do the Australian accent as well as she. She can do anything.Berownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524661173663604641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31875254.post-54181723274550317692009-08-14T09:48:37.245-05:002009-08-14T09:48:37.245-05:00I am enjoying reading all the reviews of Julie and...I am enjoying reading all the reviews of Julie and Julia including the lengthy review in the current issue of Time magazine.<br /><br />It is time to stop reading and head for the cinema.cmnovanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31875254.post-10170157724520157722009-08-13T11:06:05.908-05:002009-08-13T11:06:05.908-05:00We saw this as well and I enjoyed it tremendously....We saw this as well and I enjoyed it tremendously. The stories were related and intertwined and both were necessary to balance the experience. <br /><br />Streep is my favorite actress, and she was brilliant. But we saw Julia through the eyes of Julie, her biggest fan. Her over the top performance was tempered (note the use of the cooking term..) by the down to earth portrayal of Julie. Without Julie, Streep's Julia would have been too much, too big - the contrast was what made the movie so enjoyable.<br /><br />SBScotthttp://mythermos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31875254.post-44288398608060744372009-08-12T15:10:56.050-05:002009-08-12T15:10:56.050-05:00thanks for the link love, yo.
great post!!!
i ag...thanks for the link love, yo.<br /><br />great post!!!<br /><br />i agree--both stories are necessary, and i think anyone who fails to see that is missing the point of the story/movie. to me, it's about influence and parallels, and, above all, about women making bold decisions to claim/reclaim a traditional domestic art and then transform it, through writing (perhaps the most powerful medium), to change others' lives, whether the men in their lives or the whole world.<br /><br />while julie's influence is most decidedly *not* as culture-shifting as julia's was, one could make the claim that blogging in general is most decidedly culture-shifting...and julie was an earlyish blogger...<br /><br />(oh dear. i'm getting professorial. i'm going to stop commenting now before i start problematizing things...) ;)<br /><br />(and that's a swell citation:)dharmagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601284344804143589noreply@blogger.com
