Water for Elephants (2011) #1: "The whole thing's illusion...it's what people want. It's what they expect."



Quotes from Sara Gruen's novel :
"With a secret like that, at some point the secret itself becomes irrelevant. The fact that you kept it does not."

"I want her to melt into me, like butter on toast. I want to absorb her and walk around for the rest of my days with her encased in my skin. I want."

"Age is a terrible thief. Just when you're getting the hang of life, it knocks your legs out from under you and stoops your back. It makes you ache and muddies your head and silently spreads cancer throughout your spouse."

"... And then I laugh, because it's so ridiculous and so gorgeous and it's all I an do to not melt into a fit of giggles. So what if I'm ninety-three? So what if I'm ancient and cranky and my body's a wreck? If they're willing to accept me and my guilty conscience, why the hell shouldn't I run away with the circus? It's like Charlie told the cop. For this old man, this is home."

I'll watch it just cos part of it was filmed five minutes away from me in Georgia. I can't stand either of the stars though. Witherspoon has a HUGE forehead and that guy from those girly vampire movies is a no-talent hack.

I loved the book, and the movie looks gorgeous. I'm sure Reese and Christoph are gonna nail their roles. From some of the clips I've seen, it looks like Robert is pretty good as well.

I know the one character I'm going fall in love with is Rosie. The elephant they chose for the role is beautiful.

I'm really looking forward to see this - Reese and Robert are two of my fave actors and the book is just brilliant so it will be interesting to see it played out on the big screen

Haven't read the book but this looks pretty interesting. I've (thankfully ) never seen any of the Twilight movies or read those books, I've only seen Rob in Harry Potter so I'm curious to see him in this. And, of course, Reese is one of my favorite actresses so I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah I never read any of the Twilight books, and I only made it halfway through the first Twilight movie, because...well yeah. I haven't seen Rob in anything else, so like you I'm curious to see him in this, and see what all the hype surrounding him is about.
