      The story is great, but the movie isn't great

      The film isn't particularly well-known because Robert Pattinson paid attention to it. I haven't read the novel and I don't know how wonderful the novel is, but after watching the movie, I really don't think it's particularly wonderful. But movies based on novels are not as exciting as novels, including the Twilight series. I always feel that the title of the movie has nothing to do with the movie, but the elephant does appear in the movie, and it does not reflect the meaning of the elephant's...

      animal intelligence

      This is a beautiful story, about animals, about love. Background: In the United States in 1931, the Great Depression, unemployed and homeless people were everywhere. The film is adapted from Sara Gruen's novel of the same name, Water for elephant, and the story takes place in the United States in 1931.

      Perhaps influenced by Witherspoon's previous films, it always feels a little out of place when he wears American women's clothing at the beginning of the last century. This elephant is...

      You are all wrong

      You are all wrong. In fact, what the film has been promoting is the relationship between humans and animals. It’s just a bastard. The third and the more pitiful is the euthanasia of the leader horse. I thought it was a warm farewell. I can't afford it. You can't talk about animal cruelty. Recently, there are always a lot of perverted videos of cat cruelty and dog cruelty, which have caused heated discussions on the Internet. Which city restricts dogs to beat dogs in the street? What a...

      The joy of the circus

      I came to watch this movie when I just finished reading the original book. The male lead... his face is a bit more lively than that of a vampire, but it gives people the same expression from the beginning to the end, a bitter melon face; the heroine... Linna is much older! Not beautiful enough! There is no aura that can communicate with animals.

      Compared with the original book, the movie is too inferior, and the flaw lies in the script and actors! The setting of the script assumes...

      I Saw A Whole Life In Ur Eyes.

      In his later years, Jacob still shines brightly when he talks about those past events.
      Even his eyes glowed.
      I think Marlena will give him his dream life after all.
      About that elephant.
      Brave and fearless.
      Just like their love.
      The whole story is also beautiful.
      Reminds me of Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" MV.
      It's also a circus story.
      Let's talk about actors.
      Christoph Waltz felt like he never played a good guy.
      How could he be so good!...

    Movie plot

    23-year-old Jacob suffered a hardship in life: Both his parents died, he was impoverished, and he was forced to work in a veterinary school. Later, he became the veterinarian of the "Benzini Brothers, the largest circus in the world" and began a difficult tour. In his wandering life, he personally experienced the terrifying years of the Great Depression in the United States. Inside the circus, he also witnessed the alternate...

    Setting up

    In order to fully present a romantic and fantasy world, the entire production team worked very hard to study tens of thousands of circus pictures, and carefully referred to the exquisite description of the original work. For example, the big tent of the circus has a total volume of 48.8 meters long and 33.5 meters wide. It can accommodate about 800 people. It is supported by many thick wooden poles. The largest wooden pole even weighs...

    China Evaluation

    The film's leading actress-Oscar queen Reese Witherspoon 's performance is acceptable, and the eyes that look forward to between her husband and lover are rich in language, giving the beauty, vicissitudes, style and innocence of an aging blond doll. But the male lead Robert Pattinson is very immature. It is not the tenderness that people in the play need, but the tenderness that separates and even breaks away from the character. In the...
