WATER FOR ELEFANTS

Last week, I saw that film, it's a romantic drama film and it liked me so much, I recommend that film to everybody! Overall the film talks about how difficult it can become life, with their impossible loves and its unexpected turns, also making an allusion to the mistreatment of animals.

The film begins in 2003, with the old man Jacob (94 years) going to visit a circus, but comes in the night and the circus is closed. Then, he starts talking with the circus owner, and tells the story of his life. In 1931, during the War he was a 23 year-old-boy studying veterinary medicine at Cornell University in the United States. Just the day was to give his final exam, he reported that his parents have died in a car accident. Then learns that his parents had no money, they had invested everything (including the house in which they lived) in their education. Since he wasn't working, he must leave everything and go, he had nothing else to do there. Jacob walks every day, until one night he jumped on a train passing by, was the Benzini circus train. So he does have a small job as a veterinarian. Jacob hires him the circus owner, August, Marlena Rosenbluth whose wife was the rider of the main circus show. She loved the circus animals. When became very popular with the money they earned, they bought a 53 year-old-elephant (Rosie). And it born a difficult love story between Marlena and Jacob, with a lot of problems...
