I am sure many , many of you have already seen this FILM.
And I say it is a film more than it is a movie.
It is an a visually beautiful & gritty experience.
I didn't see it in the theater when it was first released.
A very close friend told me not to see it
because there was violence against animals.....
The Violence in this film is something that I have had first hand experience with.
It was unavoidable...putting a horse down from illness.
Yes, that is in the movie.
But.. if I can take it - you can.
In the movie - it's quick.
Not at all what I experienced.
Well
quite by accident I watched it on HBO and I said to myself
" if this movie gets hairy I can always change channels"
....for me it never did.
I am not a CIRCUS FREAK,
I don't even go to the circus EVER!!!
On last count,
I have watched this movie/FILM a total of 5 times now.
I think I need to own it...!!!
It is the story of a Veterinarian who just graduated Cornell.
{The best Vet School in my limited opinion}
During the DEPRESSION.
Reese Witherspoon's clothes are fabulous.
&
The camera filters used to make this film have a steady golden aged glow
making the entire film feel gritty, beautiful and AUTHENTIC.
The sets were divine too.
The personal quarters for R.W. on the train were great!!
The train....I love trains
and
any imagery I have in my head of train travel
is romantic and elegant.
On a circus train....not so much.
But
this movie will draw you in and keep you there.
It is a beautiful story,
and
have no fear...
a happy ending.
If you haven't already seen it.
I suggest you do.
You might feel the same way I do about it,
and then it will be 'a gift'.
Great movies & films are GIFTS that we can always return to
and recreate feelings
and at the same time ESCAPE from the feelings that we need to.
Have you seen Water For Elephants ?
If you have...
what did YOU think?
