Malena, there is a better world out there, whether that world has me or not, whether you love me or not in that world

After reading the original book, I have been looking forward to this movie. I think the choice of characters is very suitable, especially August, Reese Caterspoon's style is irresistible, and Pattinson is still such a gentleman The performance is generally in line with the original work, but omits the portrayal of old Jacob's life and mentality in the nursing home, as well as Auguste's extreme personality and violent tendencies, and Malena's love for Auguste. Fear and despair. So ah, the movie still has a distance from the book, the book is more three-dimensional and complete, the movie does not have the power and excitement of reading a book, especially when the Banzini brothers make trouble with animals. But I think, to make a movie, is to capture what the director wants to capture most in the book. But after reading the original book, I am still very entangled. I feel that watching the movie is subconsciously reviewing the book, and I can't appreciate the plot properly. If there is no expectation, some are mean considerations. Sometimes it's not that I didn't make it well, but how much my heart and expectations opened up for this movie in my heart who appreciates the movie.
My favorite in this film is Rosie the Elephant, a 53-year-old girl, a loli who loves whisky. When she first obediently raised her leg in front of August, it was really lovely Dead, turned over as cute as a little baby. That kind of tacit understanding between humans and animals is enough to melt an iceberg like a estrangement.
I think, next time, I will stop reading the book after watching a good movie, and stop watching the remake after reading a good book. Selfishly speaking, Pattinson's gentleman is a good thing, but he still looks warm and soft. I think his future efforts will definitely allow him to shoot all kinds of non-gentleman roles like Dai Lewis, an old gentleman.
My xinlye is unbalanced. Why was the mistress of the heroine of "The Age of Innocence" so sad that she couldn't take the position? Jacob and Marlene here are so lucky!

    I haven't read the original book, but the movie is average.

    It is very difficult for several leading actors not to call into the play at all

Water for Elephants quotes

  • Jacob: [after scarey incident feeding the lion] You think that's funny?

    August: [laughing] Yes, I do.

    Jacob: I could have lost my arm!

    August: Rex.

    Marlena: But you kept the coochie girls, didn't you?

    August: No denying they're good revenue. I needed money. So I had to scavenge every dead circus for every act we have.

    August: No. I had to marry you.

    Marlena: That's right.
