The Reel Reviewer Reviews Water for Elephants

From The Reel Reviewer:

As this story flashed back from a modern day circus to one of the 1930s, life on a circus train is exciting and unusual, dangerous and intense. Water for Elephants took the audience on board the circus train and the ride it took across a country that was tumultuous as it was trying to rebound from the Great Depression. In this adaptation of a well-loved book, a young veterinary student, played by Robert Pattinson, finds his life uprooted and literally jumps on the first train he can get his hands on. And the people and animals he meets turn his life completely upside down, particularly a beautiful woman played by the elegant and passionate Reese Witherspoon. However, his innocence and continuous need to try to help creates more problems then he corrects. But through his own meddling, he finds more out of life and forces others to discover the same while standing up for what is right.

The film is a well-orchestrated production as it transported me back to this time and place. It is a true depiction of the times. The plot recreated a time that money was tight and entertainment was nothing like today’s modern culture.  I think the similarities between today’s economic state and this post-depression piece is obvious for audiences. Families went to the circus together and appreciated the simplicity of the show. And those days it was considered a treat as there was not a TV or computer in every household, shows were where people escaped their lives. It was far more common for people to abandon their lives and jump on trains. There is a charm to the circus where families went for a laugh and to be deceived by the fantasy. It was a place to escape the financial woes. The whimsy of the circus has been lost in today’s society, but the idea of the illusion is still something many people search for.

Water For Elephants Easter Weekend Box Office Update

CinemaScore was Fox 2000's Water For Elephants based on Sara Gruen's best-selling book and written by Richard LaGravenese and directed by Francis Lawrence. Clearly, the classy ad campaign was intriguing for adults who don't rush out to see films, and for Robert Pattinson's Twi-hards who do. But this beautifully filmed but searing drama was considered a hard sell.
