The reflection of Eat Pray Love

Few days ago, I saw a film with my friends, Eat Pray Love, starring by Julia Roberts; it is talking about a woman who searches for a word that best describes her existence and personal philosophy.  She was disappointed about her life, felt her passion was gone.  So she decides to divorce with her husband; and she loses much of her money.  After a divorce, she goes abroad to Italy, India and Bali for a year, in order to find the balance of her life.  In her trip, she met many people but she wondered why people always thought she needs a man to be with her.  At last, she found her true love.  Although she pursuits freedom; she also need a soul mate to be with her.  I am interested in this film what meaning it wants to show us.  I think people afraid of lonely, but sometimes they want freedom, that is a contradiction.  Many people always have relationship with someone; they don’t have the ability to get along with themselves.  People always expect someone gives them happy, but they forget they also have the ability to make themselves happy.  Sometimes we felt we lost touch and passion about our life, but we don’t have the courage to change or to do something you always want to do.  So I admire the girl in this film, Liz, she realized that she need to change in order to save her life, she planned a trip for herself and went to a country where she didn’t have any friends.  She enjoys eat, and forgives herself about the number of weight machine.  I know it sounds crazy about travel abroad alone; many people think it is too dangerous to travel alone, especially girls, but it is worthy to try.  I had a experience to travel with myself, but I didn’t went to another country, I went to Hsinchu alone, that is my first time I went there, it is so exciting because no one be with me when I got lost and no one can talk with me when I felt boring.  However, I have fun with myself, I can decide where I want to visit, and enjoys special lonely, I felt myself absolutely free.  So I think sometimes when you don’t know who you are and feel boring about you life, do something, sometimes you have to take a risk for yourself in order to find yourself and be yourself.
