Water for Elephants (2011)

Caught this one on Naked Trailers on Reelz Channel. Thought it might be interesting. The flashback story has a nice vintage feel to it.

Caught a matinee of this today and really enjoyed it.

Looks interesting but I'm not a big fan of Reese Witherspoon.

My co-worker saw it and said it was horrific. I'm super-sensitive to animals being hurt, and she told me there was a lot of bad things being done to animals. I know they aren't really being hurt, but just the thought is enough to upset me.

I'm the same way, suffering animals really upset me in a way that other things in movies don't. Having said that, it IS a movie, and the animals being hurt occurs offscreen in a way that while it made me cringe and look away from the screen, was done in a way that was more implied than graphically portrayed. As usual in well made movies it's the gaps left to the imagination that really create the emotion.

I loved the book...thinking about going to see the movie

That would really upset me too - especially after seeing similar footage online only a few weeks ago (thankfully the elephant was rescued and I believe is now residing in Longleat).

I absolutely hate circuses that involve animals.....

I saw it last nite. Nice date film, except its got some brutal scenes for both human & animal. I suppose its supposed to heighten the romance of 1931.
Incidentally, one of the stars is Christoph Waltz who won an Oscar last year for playing a Nazi in Tarantino's last movie.

I haven't seen it yet, but I have been told by a couple people in the last week that I look like I walked out of it -- maybe a specific character, but I forgot.
