Water for Elephants



This movie is great! :] My lasting thought after watching it was.."Wow that was intense..." I didn't know what to expect because I didn't watch any previews before hand. It was engaging and had unpredictable moments. The fashion was something that really drew me in. I have loved 1920s and 30s fashion for a while now. I love movies that are period pieces in general. So the combinations of the two won me over. This movie is one of some that throw you into that time period and it feels like you are living it. That feeling comes from the costumes, scenery, props, and the acting of course. It is interesting me to think of movies I have watched and to kind of put them in consecutive order...like Pride and Predjudice, The Patriot, Amistad, Anne of Green Gables, to this movie. All these movies kind of transition from one style to the next. One small detail I noticed was Reese Witherspoon's manicure, something that may may not be noticable to most. This nail style told me that the people making this movie really understood that time and wanted to portray it well...so kudos to you! ;] The style back then was to not paint the whole nail. Painting the middle area; leaving the tip and the moon portions unpainted was appropriate.
