Simply A Masterpiece

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Jacob is a veterinarian who drops out of Cornell university during his final exam due to his parents unfortunate death. With nothing left for him in his home town, he plans to board a train to the city to pick up any available job.Aboard the train, he is caught by some fellows who are part of the circus. They welcome him in, giving him a chance as a circus hand. They ultimately decide to keep him when they discover he is good with the animals, and he becomes the new bull man for the newest attraction... a female elephant named Rosie!Although he is adored by the crew, he finds himself in deep water when the circus leader discovers his affections towards his wife. The ringleader is also incredibly hostile towards the circus animals, beating them when they don't listen. Eventually Jacob realises he must leave with his new girlfriend in tow, but surely he can't leave the elephant behind? Well, the story is beautiful and the ending is lovely. The film is narrated by an elderly Jacob who is attempting to runaway with the circus once again, away from the carehome which he now lives in. I highly reccomend a watch!

The idea of the film and how it was made is fantastic. All the scenes look real and they are full of excitement. The actors are playing their roles absolutely amazing.The main characters fit really well with each other. Even though in the movie the place that everything happens is the circus, people can feel that the story is so real and can happen to everyone in its own way.No matter if it is a bad character or a good one everyone is doing a great job. The movie shows a lot of things we can find in our own lives or realize that are missing in it. It shows the cruelness and that people are the real savages, not animals. It represents the true meaning of love and that you should never stop fighting for it, no matter how hard it is, because its beautiful.

one of films who impress. for the ordinaries sparkles - costumes, recreation of the air of past, young actors and an animal who becomes axis of a story from the circus universe. for the joy of justice. and for a sweet, dramatic, impossible love story. but, more important, for the science to preserve the spirit of novel, recreate a world who becomes inspired mix of the childhood memories, cruel challenges of life and the meet who change everything. America in crisis has a seductive portrait in this film about a long travel to the happiness. sure, it is a good state to discover Robert Pattinson escaping from the cage of Twilight series and doing more than a decent job. but the star is Christoph Waltz who gives great nuances to his August. so, see it !

Set in the 1930s, a former veterinary student takes a job in a traveling circus and falls in love with the ringmaster's wife. Water For Elephants in my opinion is one of the most underrated films about love and animals that i feel people didn't get it's half a romance tale and the other half is a movie about a young teenager called Jacob played by Robert Pattinson who feels connected next to an elephant called Rosie but at the same time on that same Circus he fells in love with Marlena played by Reese Witherspoon who did a great job in this film and as always the villain is played by Christoph Waltz who gave an amazing performance just like the whole cast of this film. The movie also has a lot of beautiful shots and Hal Holbrook as an older Jacob was also a thing that worked perfectly telling the whole story and i found the ending to be very sad but then again i should have expected that to happen. Francis Lawrence is a great director and movies such as this totally shows that.
