I was unable to attend the Water for Elephants Event due to
a midterm, but I watched it with my roommates earlier that week and had a small
discussion. I found the film very well done and was impressed with the
acting. More importantly, the plot line
was really good and interesting.
Water for Elephants was originally a historical novel and
then was turned into a movie last year. I
found it most interesting that the movie told a story from the eyes of the male
character. It also discussed some major themes, more than just love, including
animal and marital abuse. In that time period, marital and animal abuse wasn’t
looked down upon. This plays to the fact
that we have come so far in such a short period of time.
