    This is why you can't judge a book by its cover. If you met her in passing you'd think she was a kind, soft spoken and intelligent woman. You'd never know the inner rage and hatred under the surface.

    So, let's recap. She cheated on her husband, she continued the affair even after her husband found out about it, and she turned her husband into a public cuckhold by writing a book about it. Good job, Julia.

      Not really cool and embarrassing for her husband for her to talk about it publicly.
      Love is a choice, stop blaming him for not growing, it’s pretty hard to be a dedicated to your marriage when your having an affair

      Yeah...so for approximately 22 months he was aware of the affair, and he tolerated it?
      As depicted in the movie, this woman is pretty much all about herself, and he knew it.
      Love is a crazy thing, sometimes it turns people into doormats, I know from personal experience.
      But it took me less than 1 month before I came to my senses and regained my self respect, despite the pain of cutting ties with my ex.
      I figured that there really was nothing left to salvage at that point.
      This woman...Julie...she has got issues that go deeper than narcissism, which is bad enough already.

Theres even a chance she lied about cooking all the recipes in a year, the reason she didnt wanna meet her in the first place(and also the reason that caught my curiosity and got me here) is because she felt she had no heart for the culinary arts... for her it was just trying to get famous by trying to make all the recipes in a short amount of time, everyone can copy a recipe but doesnt mean itll taste the same... lowkey I feel she wanted to call her a liar but didnt want bad publicity.. seeing this video and seeing her... there's a huge chance she did it all for money.

    However, the Julie Powell in the movie is who I like. Not this one. I'm sorry, but I just have no love or fascination for the real Julie Powell.
    The only reason why I looked her up was because I thought she was gonna be cool like Amy Adam's portrayal. Guess not :( The movie will always have a special place in my heart.

Also, while being an intern she talks in detail about having a crush on an actor and how later on Erik buys tickets to see this actor because he knows how much she loves him.

    Sometimes artists don't write for an audience. Often times they write to cleanse themselves of something, almost an exorcism through literature, so they can move on. I loved Julie and Julia, both book and film, and it saddens to see that the character's image is tarnished because of this new book. I don't condone infidelity at all, but if Powell has found some catharsis through writing about it, so be it. It's her choice if she wants to get it out there, really.

    Can't say I cared for her blog, her J/J book or her cleaving book. Bad language is just an excuse for not having a better vocabulary to me and I did not care to read about her affairs. In the garbage is where those books went before I even finished them. I think the screen play for Julie and Julia gleaned every bit of goodness it could out of that blog and gave us a nice sanitized story. Julia had a happy marriage that didn't need any "cleaving" to make it grow. I guess that's the difference between Julie and Julia from my readings. It's sad though that both are gone now. Perhaps Julie would have written something better in her old age as Julia did.

    @sleedolfine15 12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @Donlakyounomoah I think the reason why she is so "hated" is because her self exposure of her tawdry,sordid little tale was so unnecessary. We did not need to know about her ugly affair. She could have made the story a work of fiction,thereby deflecting criticism from herself. But revealing herself to be the cheater brought down all of this well deserved scorn especially since Amy Adams in the movie played a flawed,but basically likable woman, a portrayal which we now know was untrue.

    It is a little weird that when famous authors like Updike, Roth etc... incorporate infidelity in barely-concealed autobiographical fiction , criticism of them is seen as political correctness and doesn't really alter their reputation as Grand Men of letters. Yet some of the criticism on this video for a more honest attitude is particularly shrill. Regardless I'm not pro-infidelity, I'm just anti-double standard and hypocrisy.

      @@charlescharliejpeg I'm not a girl and I literally just gave examples in my comment of authors whose reputations are built on using philandering and infidelity in their work. Anyway who cares about "normal people"? What does that even mean? We shouldn't just use what the majority of "normal people" think as a lodestar for what what's right. Normal people used to watch hangings in public.
      Anyway just look at some of the comments here: "This is why you can't judge a book by its cover. If you met her in passing you'd think she was a kind, soft spoken and intelligent woman. You'd never know the inner rage and hatred under the surface." What kind of person sees infidelity in such a childish, melodramatic and shrill way? Maybe incels? I'm very unlikely to ever read this book but I don't think one person out of the many millions of men and women who cheat on their partner writing about it openly is a crime. Especially when so many of the most revered male authors have already done so.

  • @ChloeIsAFag
    @ChloeIsAFag 13 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    @denimchiq87 Exactly what I was thinking! I actually feel genuinely pissed off for giving her what she craves so much in reading the book (which incidentally was very poorly written, in my opinion). I have never heard of someone as egotistical and hideously selfish as her. I was misled by the film, originally attracted by the very core of the it - French cooking. By 'idolising' Julia, in a way that the onus is purely on Julie, it completely undemines the sanctity of her alleged admiration.

      Judgemental? Because people think that cheating is wrong and insensitive? Powell seems to think so little of her marriage and her husband if she cheats for two years, and talks about it on radio in such a casual manner.

    @Donlakyounomoah Why is it that whenever we describe someone as human we mean something bad? Why can't being human be noble and good? She carried on an affair in full view of her husband,not giving a damn about the feeling of a spouse--a good man she supposedly loved. Learning what a rat the real Julia Powell is makes it impossibe for me to ever associate her with the sweet,likable woman Amy Adams played in the movie. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch the movie again.
