I just finished watching the movie Julie & Julia and I must say I was very amused by it. Not only did it bring inspiration to many people, it gave me a reason to comment on the cruel judging reviews that critics are remarking about for Julie's new book.
Not many people are liking the fact that Julie not only writes about her cooking passion but she also mentions her sex life and the affair that took place in her marriage. I personally feel she just writes her "real" life experiences and she should not be judged by that.
Cooking for many people is a way that one can take out frustration, sadness, hurt, and also it relieves an inner passion of love that one has with food. Something that not all people can relate to but it is a love that some of us have with music, dancing and any other passion in life.
I can relate to her love of food with my love with music and singing. Ever since I could even speak I started to make up my own silly songs and just sing about whatever came to my mind. In the car driving many miles to go visit my grandparents, or walking around the store with my mom, it seemed like all the time I was singing. As I grew up I was in chorus through out middle school and even high school. I feel if I really wanted to pursue this love and dream of mine I probably would have made it pretty far. But I went a different route with my life and started a family at a young age of 21 and my life blessed ever after.
Even though I had a huge supporting team with my family and friends telling me that I was a great singer, I had some critics as well who boosted down my self-esteem and got me thinking negatively about pursuing a career as a singer.
To this day even though I did not pursue a career in music, as a wife and a mother I instill my love and passion for music and singing with my two daughters. Both of them love to sing, my youngest more so, but they both know that no matter what anyone ever says negatively about their passion and love for something, to always let it go in one ear and out the other. Yes, it will hurt and tears will pour out like rain sometimes, but it's those hurtful words and remarks that make us stronger and thrive more for what we know is right on the inside.
No one in this world has the right to judge anyone. Look around people...No one is perfect except God and until the day that we are all at his court room, God is the only one who has the final word and can judge us all.
So, I say Keep up the good work Julie! To the world: Know we have the freedom in this country to speak out our minds. Even though not everyone will agree with what we have to say.
We all have the freedom of speech and the right of knowledge to know that.
Love, Peace & God Bless Everyone.

Critics always need something to criticize, even if them being critical so much is basically bashing a movie they love, they have to do it because believe it or not, the critics get criticized too.
ReplyDeleteSaw responses to a critic awhile back that just loved the star trek movie and didn't see anything wrong with it. People responded with "you aren't being critical. You are an awe struck little boy. Do your job"
Outside influences force these people to be uber assholes
