![]() ![]() In all honesty, Me Before You is beautifully crafted as a theatrical film.Īs said above, Me Before You is adapted from the book of the same name by author Jojo Moyes. Another person I have to mention is the film’s cinematographer Remi Adefarasin who presented the feature with sweeping cameras angles and position. The outfits that she made for Clarke’s Louisa is truly outstanding with different variations of it (big kudos). I do have to commend Jill Taylor, the film’s costume designer, for her work on this feature. Like all romance movies, the two lovers meet and fall in love with one another and Sharrock gives her two actors (Clarke and Claflin) a lot of time to do so, sharing the juxtaposition of their lifestyles and personas (Louisa is eccentric, perky, and from a working class family, while Will is melancholy, sarcastic, and from a wealth privileged family). For the most part, Sharrock does a pretty good job with the movie, establishing Will’s life before his tragic accident in the film’s opening scene and then quickly shifts to Louisa’s life as the kind-hearted person who is seeking a job employment. Thea Sharrock, who has previously TV episodes for The Hollow Crown and Call the Midwife, makes her feature film directorial debut with Me Before You. While the movie does have its faults, Me Before You is still a present feature to fall in love with. As it turns out, I probably liked it a little bit more than she did. Since the movie was based off of a book, I then decided to read the book (I usually try to make a strong emphasis to do so) and took my mom to go see the movie as a late “Mother’s Day” present. Of course, when I first saw the trailer, I was intrigued because of all the recognizable actors and actresses in the movie. Which brings me to me seeing Me Before You. So usually seeing a romantic flick isn’t on my “to do list” of seeing movies. I even tried my hand at reviewing one last year when I saw The Age of Adaline. Still, I seeing several of the big / iconic ones like Titanic, The Notebook, Roman Holiday, Gone with the Wind, etc. ![]() I’m not bashing the genre and its catalogue of movies, it’s just not my “preferred” choice of movie to watch (give me an animated, action, or Marvel blockbuster over a romance movie). Lou, determined to win over her charge, tries to connect with Will through various activities and simple conversations, eventually (over time) discovering feelings for Will as he goes through a difficult but important decision-making process concerning his future.Īs a personal taste in movies, the romance genre isn’t my forte. Choosing to isolate himself while his parents, Camilla (Janet McTeer) and Stephen (Charles Dance), strive to support his new reality of being confined in a wheelchair, Will is immediately cold and distance to Lou, rejecting her bubbly and quirky personality. By chance, an opportunity presents itself as Lou is offered a position as a caretaker for Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), a quadriplegic who’s perfect and privilege life with then girlfriend Alicia (Vanessa Kirby) was taken away from him after a horrible accident. Louisa Clarke (Emilia Clarke) is a gentle and perky young woman who’s having trouble securing stable employment that’s best suited for her talents, pressured to earn by her family to keep food on the table. ![]() ![]() Does this feature film find love or is it’s a brokenhearted mess? Now Warner Bros and director Thea Sharrock present the current moviegoer audience with the movie Me Before You, based on the book by author Jojo Moyes. Whether star-crossed lovers, reconnected childhood sweethearts, or the “fated chance” meeting of two individuals, romantic movies have span the ageless tapestry of moviemaking and producing some timeless treasures and some fan-favorite gems, including The Notebook, Titanic, Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffanys, Cascablanca, and many others. Since time immemorial in the cinematic world of movies, the romance genre has grown and flourished, engaging audiences and viewers with sweeping narratives of all things about love and the tender matters of the heart. ![]()
