Water for elephants - the Movie from the Book

The young veterinary student and almost graduate, Jacob, looses his parents in a car accident, and in his grieving, he packs his things and goes for a walk. He walks and walks and walks. He follows the train rails until a train passes by. He manages to jump on to the train, and there he sleeps in a hidden spot. When he wakes up, the train has stopped. When he gets off the train, a lot of things has happened. He stops the first guy he sees, and asks him where they are. He tells him that he is at a circus. Jacob finds another guy, , who turns out to be the manager of the circus. They talk for a while, and when Jacob mentions that he is a veterinarian, the manager takes him to see a sick horse. When Jacob does a good job with the horse, the manager decides to hire him as the circus veterinarian. 

In the beginning, the manager seems to be a good guy. He has a lovely wife and he can get anything he wants. He should be very happy with his accomplishments, but he is not. Whenever something that he doesn't like happens around him, he snaps. Almost nothing can stop him, and he would be able to kill without guilt. Jacob has to be extremely carefull about what he says, and does around him, or he might be dead in seconds. The wife of the manager knows about his issues and she is sometimes very scared. Jacob wants to help her, but this leads to a dangerous situation..

The reason why I like tris movie, is first because of Robert Pattinson, who plays Jacob, and secondly, because of the tension. When you watch the movie you fall in love with the characters and you don't want anything bad to happen to them. So whenever it seems to be going badly, you'll sit there with your shoulders over your ears. And when good things happen,  you feel happy. That is one of the things I love about the movie. All the emotions that comes with it. I would give this movie an A!
