The Eat Pray Love movie is based on Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir. Julia Roberts plays Gilbert, a woman who decides to travel around the world in order to experience things she couldn't anywhere else. Before she packs up and leaves, however, she seems to have a good life. She is a writer in New York City and is married with children. After six years, she realizes she is married for convenience and she finds herself apathetic towards her kids. Gilbert decides that it's time for a change.
A woman who once made it her goal in life to marry and rear a family finds her priorities suddenly shifting in Ryan Murphy and Jennifer Salt's adaptation of author Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir. In the eyes of many, Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) was a woman who had it all a loving husband, a great career, and a weekend home but sometimes one realizes too little too late that they haven't gotten what they truly wanted from life. On the heels of a painful divorce, the woman who had previously looked forward to a contented life of domestic bliss sets out to seek her true destiny by traveling first to Italy, where she learns to appreciate nourishment; then to India, where she discovers the power of prayer; and finally to Bali, where she unexpectedly finds the meaning of true love.
During a messy divorce with her once supportive husband, Gilbert finds herself even more emotionally lacking. In an attempt to search for something she's missing, she travels to New York, Italy, India, and Indonesia, and experiences different things at each of those places. In Italy, she enjoys the food, in India she finds faith, and in Indonesia she finds love, thus the title Eat Pray Love. This journey she embarks on takes some unexpected turns, and although Gilbert did mean for her journey to be a self-discovery, she didn't even come close to knowing the extent to which her life would change during her travels.
