Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
by Elizabeth Gilbert
I feel betrayed (8/28/2010)
“Make the movie and they will come!” That must have been the creators’ and producers’ mantra. They knew they had us—all of us to whom the book had meant so much. Those of us who were inspired by the book….who identified with Liz’s journey…who evolved and grew from the experience of reading the book. They knew they didn’t have to be concerned about a first-rate screen play. We were already hooked. They had us at, “Coming to a theatre near you August 2010.” But we were hooked because we naively expected the same quality in the movie as in the book. We at the very least expected to hear the same message…the essence of the story. But we didn’t get it. And I for one feel betrayed. In the meantime, the creators and producers have made a ton of money…while each of us have lost the price of the ticket and two hours of our time.
