Water for Elephants

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything these past few days, but I'm back.


Well, a few weeks ago I saw Water for Elephants, which stars Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon amd Christoph Waltz, and the sexy Robert Pattinson. This is a beautiful story about a love affair that blossomed during the 1930s in an American circus. Robert's character Jacob and Reese's character Marlena have to hide their affair from her husband, Christoph's character, and have to work together to train the new circus attraction, the elephant. They fight for their love and the elephant's protection. I love stories that are set in the past and present how our grandparents lived their lives and the obstacles they overcame to survive. Water for Elephants is another great film about love set in the past, told in a flashback by the elderly, this movie has been added to the list of Titanic, The Notebook, which other?




The wardrobe in Water for Elephants was very Old Hollywood, glitz, glam, Jean Harlow inspired, 1930s elegant and seductive. Reese Witherspoon looked amazing in all the circus costumes, which were similar to the costumes in Christina Aguilera's music video Hurt. I just loved the simple, sleek gowns, the circus outfits that worked perfectly with the horses and elephant.
