MOVIE REVIEW : Me Before You :')

Hello everyone!

Actually I had written this review for almost a week but today is the only chance I have to post it on my blog due to a very good and excellent WIFI connection here. Sorry for that haha. So here it is.

Long time no see and now I’m back here to write a new entry on a movie that I just watched last Saturday, which is, ME BEFORE YOU. It has been adapted from a novel by Jojo Moyes. It was awesome – totally awesome I can say. I never cried over an English movie before, but this movie had made me cry so hard- so hard until my eyes were swollen. I was grateful that I was not reading the novel yet; if not I would end up being like Zarith, crying all the way from the very first minute the movie was started. Arghhh I still can’t accept the heartbreaking ending of this movie. It left me with severe heartbreaks and disappointment. WHYYYYYYYYY? WHYYYY IT HAD TO END LIKE THAT?! :’(

A successful banker and active man in his past, William Traynor never knew that his life would turn out to be the biggest nightmare to him. He was paralyzed- almost all parts of his body were not functioning except for his brain to think, eyes to blink, nose to breathe, and mouth to talk- due to a motorbike accident in the past couple years.

Louisa Clark or people do often called her “Lou” was a quirky and dauntless young woman. She was quirky in her way of clothing haha. She often wore something that I can’t even describe it as fashionable but for her, it is, and that’s making her somewhat unique and special. She was dauntless and never give up in finding money to support her family. Her boyfriend, Patrick was a sports man. She had been with him for about 7 years, without loving him that much. Her cheerful attitude had been tested when she was given a job to become a caregiver for a paralyzed man which is William.

The story goes on when Lou was able to change the cynical outlook of William to become someone that can laugh and smile like the others. Knowing that William will end up killing himself in a Dignitas House in Switzerland in the next 6 months, Lou had planned lots of events and things, hoping for William to have slightly change in his thought about his plan. Lou broke up with Pat and went for William as she knew that William meant a lot to her. William confessed to Lou that she was the only reason that he could get up every morning at his ex-girlfriend’s wedding. They had spent lots of happy time together and Lou expected Will to cancel his plan to Switzerland.

The scene on the island was the most tensing one. I cried a lot at this. Lou told William that she loved him, and she mentioned about the Dignitas and she hoped that he could abandon as she would do anything for him as long as he was alive. Will said he did have the best time with Lou for loving her and they had special times together but he could not insist himself to continue with his plan as he could not bear to live on a wheelchair; he did mention about his torturing life in past two years, living in such hopes for getting up being normal every morning and those dreams were just dreams that would never come true- he is permanently paralyzed. Lou was angry and sad. After getting back home, Lou quitted being the caregiver. Ahhh it’s so depressing to write about this. What I can just say is, Lou ended up giving in and letting William to continue with his plan. She visited him for the last time at they spent their last time together there. The last scene showed that Lou was sitting on a chair at the café in somewhere in Paris, reading William’s last will for her.

My favorite part of this movie was when Will gave the most unexpectable birthday present to Lou. A yellow stripes legging that had been Lou's favorite outfit when she was little. That was so cute, I couldn't handle myself from laughing hard at that time.  

I do love the character of Louisa Clark in this movie as she was really cute in her action even though sometimes she looked pretty clumsy and weirdo. I do love William Traynor as well. He is handsome no matter how he looks- in long hair or short hair. Sam Claflin is always be my favorite actor, since his appearance in Love Rosie. And now I’m looking forward for the next movie of him. By the way, he did a great in playing the role of William Traynor in this movie. It left a big impact on me. I still can’t forget the way he moved on his wheelchair and the way he smiled in this movie. Huhuhuhuhu *cries*

I had watched the trailer of Me Before You once before I watched it on the cinema and I was like ‘hmm nothing special about this movie I guess’, ‘eww Sam Claflin on a wheelchair with that long hair style? Looks terrible’. Those thoughts were totally vanished after I watched the whole movie. It was great. Fantastic! Worth-watching movie. Last night I had a gut to re-watch the trailer and without noticing, I felt tears. Ahhhhh why I need to watch this again ha-ha. To sum it up, I do rate the movie 4 STARS. I will give the last remaining star if the director changes the ending and bring William back to live. HAHAHA

Okay that’s all from me. Have fun reading!

xoxo,
