Today, I am watching Eat, Pray, and Love at Metropole XXI, Jakarta. It is very interesting movie from Julia Roberts. It tells us about Elizabeth Gilbert, a woman who was searching a meaning through travelling in three different countries; Italy, India, and Indonesia. In each country, she learned different things and enrich herself with reflection from the reality.
In Italy, she learned about the taste of food and found the philosophy to taste everything without woryous about fat. She says, the modern living force us to keep our body but ignore the reality that we must enjoy our life. In Italy, Elizabeth learns how Italian enjoys their life. I like the quotation from Elizabeth friends, “You are American. You only know about work, work, and work. You don’t know about how to enjoy your life like Italian when they eat pizza.”
In India, Elizabeth learned about devotion to what she believes. She learned spirituality through meditation in Ashram, traditional yoga community, in Delhi, India. Meditation is not something easy like you eats pizza. Meditation is devotes yourself to God, and concentrate all of your body. Elizabeth practice meditation with the guidance of the man from America. In this movie, we know that the man have terrible situation like Elizabeth too. He loses himself when his family died.
And finally, in Indonesia, Elizabeth visit Bali. She learn many thing from Ketut Liyer, the medicine man from Ubud. I love Ketut Liyer says, “You must smile. Not only smile in your face, but also in your mind, and your heart.” The conversation between Elizabeth and Liyer is my favorite scenery in this movie. I find the gap between the modern knowledge and traditional knowledge. In many cases, the traditional knowledge always loses, but in this movie, the two kind of thing can enrich together and listen each other. In Bali, Elizabeth finds her truly love too through the man from Brazil
After seen this movie, I asked to myself. If I have the chance to travelling like Elizabeth, will I creates the travel diary with the lot of meaning like Elizabeth? Let the times answer that question.(*)
