Water For Elephants


Tonight I have been to see Water For Elephants.
Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon star in this magical tale of forbidden love.
Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is a young veterinary student with a great future ahead of him. That is, until a personal tragedy leaves him wandering penniless, without destination or hope. But Jacob has a date with destiny. When he hops aboard a passing train it turns out to be the home of The Benzini Brothers Circus - and its star attraction, the radiant Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). With no other prospects, Jacob joins the troupe. He starts at the bottom but his veterinary skills see him quickly promoted to working with the animals, including Rosie the Elephant - which brings him closer to Marlena. A mesmerising performer who has a natural gift with animals, Marlena is trapped in her marriage to the circus ringmaster and owner August (Christoph Waltz). An imposing mixture of charm and menace, August stands between happiness for Jacob and Marlena...
