There are movies that you just
can’t forget about and after watching them the only thing that you can do is to
rethink the matter that they treat about, over and over again. That happened to me when I watched ‘Me
before you’ adapted from the novel by JoJo Moyes. This film is not another
romantic comedy which makes us cry and then lets us dream about that kind of
perfect love. Moreover, I think that the
plot is terribly real and it makes spectators contemplate about one of the most
difficult issues that can be raised, the euthanasia.
It
obviously starts with a rich, handsome Mr perfect, Will, who has it all till he
gets hit by a motorcycle. What’s more, he gets paralyzed, this takes away his
desire to live and his carefree life changes irreversibly. Then there’s a light in the tunnel for him, he
meets his new keeper Lou, she’s clumsy, open-minded, and cheerful and she
literally bursts into his life. They start to become really close, then appears a special bond between them, she seems to be his last resort but is
this enough to help him change his mind?
This movie is
charming, even if its plot is quite sad and, as a matter of fact, hopeless, it
has a lot of funny moments because of delightful main character of Lou who
shows Will that his life hadn’t ended with the accident. Unfortunately, he had
lost his hope and nothing’s going to change his approach.
I’m definitely going to read this bestseller as it has to be even better than a film. If you are looking for an unconventional and gripping movie this one will be a great choice.
I would really recommend
this film as it made me wonder a lot about the question of suffering and about transient
human happiness. Is it even possible to
put yourself in that situation and be able to decide for someone who hurts so
much?
