meryl streep as 'auntie' julia

i saw a clip of ms streep as julia child, my auntie julia. i adopted julia child as my aunt after i saw her the first time, eating a hamburger after making one with equally great care and enthusiasm. it's obvious that she was very knowledgeable about food but the curiosity and excitement were fresh. the joy of eating, the delight of cooking, was popping off the screen with irresistible potency. i had no idea of who this elderly lady was. on the spot i fell in love with her.  wish i could have been there, biting off that burger, allowing the alchemy of the orchestra of ingredients to blossom into a pool of sensory pleasure. 

now, i must say ms streep is, without a doubt, a great actress with amazing skills and talents. but, somehow, from the clip, i had this sense that she doesn't luuu-ve eating and cooking with all the fibers of her being. as far as i am concerned, that luuu-ve is what makes my auntie julia so luuu-vable, so special. sorry, ms streep.
