Watch Water for Elephants For Free

How sad is this?

Boring

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I doubt that any movie made today could look much better than "Water for Elephants'" Cinematography, direction, sets, performances, editing - all combine to tell a surprisingly powerful and ultimately humane tale of hardship, loss and of finding oneself - amid the wreckage of humanity at its worst and best. While not so sure I'm comfortable with the Elephants crucial contribution toward the finale (no dispersions towards Rosie she was superb!) just the timing of it all. (that's personal of course) The idea of the old man telling his compelling life story to the young Circus manager is inspired and well worthy of several viewings. An excellent drama with an accent on human adventure and endeavour - easily recommended to a wide ranging audience, covering all ages.

I thought that this was going to be a film about a circus. I like films that actually show circus and circus life. Instead I got a soppy adulterous "romance" and a sadistic husband and cruelty to animals. If you enjoy any of these... go for it. For me ... give me what is now thought of as corny "The Greatest Show on Earth" or even "Trapeze". The non-English Speaking elephant was one of the most interesting characters .. the actors tried but they were not appealing at all. It's not that the actors gave poor performances, it was that the characters were just not for me. Will not watch this one again and I am a big re-viewer !

June 6,20014To whom may concern: I had watched Water for Elephants movie half of a year. I thought is a really good movie in my Opinion as I watch the movie I did thought it was a little odd pairing of actors director chose Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson as love interest.I mean I like both actors but together as love interest I thought was were odd cast , but I had really enjoyable movie. They both play the character well. I had thought they both were enjoyable to watch them act out the story. I just did not them as couple.I totally give Water for Elephants recommendation.Best regards

Rosie is one smart elephant. She understands Polish commands; not really commands, but gentle suggestions. She performs her 'answers' on cue. She is perfect. This is in sharp contrast to that brute, August, who beats her and stabs her with all the grace of a Neanderthal psycho ignoramus. Elephants never forget, so it is said, so Rosie eventually doles out her own intelligent solution upon the evil August.August is cruel to animals and people. He may physically abuse his wife. It looks that way, but I don't remember actually seeing it. She knows she has to do what he says. Meanwhile, he throws employees from the train because of budgetary problems. It is the Great Depression. I know from my own historical studies that circuses struggled financially in that time period. Some of these employees were killed upon impact with the ground or sharp rocks. August could not pay them their salaries, so he just dumped them.Robert Pattinson was wonderful as younger Jacob, and Hal Holbrook was excellent as his older self. Reese Witherspoon was perfect as Marlena. She had a very nice figure, IMO, to wear those lovely and skimpy circus costumes. August was a perfect villain.I love circus history. This was a very interesting movie.10/10
