The Aspiring

Hey hey! Starting this blog, and I am just actually copying this idea from Estephanie Frank, a friend of mine. I just thought-- hey Nika, stupid wanting to be a screenwriter/director someday wherein I don't freaking watch A LOT as in A LOT of movies like the aspiring people like me. So what the heck! I'll start this blog and see if I'll be better next year! Disclaimer: Don't believe on my ratings, it's not professional rating. It is solely based on my emotions and feeling at the time I watched the movie. So, don't watch high rated movies I rated. Smile :)) AND BTW, I realize, I am stupid, and weird. I have this very odd preference and taste for movies. People might not like my opinion about the movies, so if you are reading this DO NOT TAKE THE BLOG POSTS AND THE RATE SERIOUSLY. This blog is made specifically for my own growth. Love love. Pardon with wrong grammar and SYNTAX ERRORS

79. Water for Elephants (3.95/5)




This is a movie adaptation of a novel. I know that books are really better than movie adaptations, so I can say that this movie is so-so. I haven’t read the book, but I can say that the book might be better. Some may like it, some may feel good watching it, but for me it falls under the ratings of mediocre and ok. It was touching, the plot was ok, I love carnivals and all that, but… it just doesn’t have that--- depth, and enough drama I am looking for.

                This movie kind of reminds of Mouline Rouge, because of the male character that is practically already in a relationship or in to liking for the female protagonist before the male protagonist. You know a rich male rival for the not-so-rich, not-so-prominent male protagonist? I hope you get what I mean.

                To be specific, this movie is about a man who needs to do something that would change his life forever. He just found out that his parents died, and as luck might have it, the tragic incident happens before he could finish his degree as a veterinarian. Not knowing what to do, and trying to find another path to take, he jumps inside a train. He then finds out that it is a train that contains a travelling carnival group. He then becomes a part of the group, and later on falls in love with the girlfriend of the big boss.

                It is a love story, so if you are up for something romantic, you can try watching this. But then, I didn’t feel deep undying love, I didn’t even feel reflective. So, this is just a so-so movie for me. But then, it may be the otherwise for some, so watch it if you have time.

I give this movie 3.95/5
