Me Before You – the movie
Incredibly grateful to the power ladies who invited me out for Me Before You because it is something that the Hubs would just NEVER watch with me. And despite hearing about the movie amongst others that it is a real tear jerker, I had zero expectations (as I have with most things), and it did not disappoint. In fact it totally wowed me!!!
First and foremost, one of us had a packet of tissues ready and available for each and every one of us. Go Su Ann!!! Next, it was a challenge to see who cried the most. Ahahahahaha!!! Someone totally lost and came out with bulging red eyes. I used 4 pieces of tissues but admittedly, I was very controlled. I always try to have this very strong front and at the most, tear, due to sadness. Fuck, the movie was sad, OK?

It is about a high flying investment banker who suddenly gets into an accident one fine day and suddenly life comes down crashing because he gets paralysed. Although his family has all the money in the world, life just isn’t the same anymore so he becomes bitter and depressed. If you are a woman, go watch it! But be warned, you need to bring tissues.
I loved the movie for its quintessentially English humour and the dressing of Louisa Clarke that was oh, so British!!! Those are exactly the kind of shoes that I would wear. Only very confident people can carry off her unique fashion sense. And can I please just say again that I loved the British humour? I would watch it again and again……as I am such a British fan. Both actor and actress were originally British so they were perfect. Both very good looking as well.
Acting was good and the plot was excellent which is probably why they are rated 7.9 on IMDB. There are loads of critics though on the movie subject but honestly, I feel that you cannot judge a person’s wishes until you are EXACTLY in the shoes of that person itself. You may think that it is selfish for someone to do ABC but until you are the one suffering, heck, just shut the fuck up. You do not know what the person goes through day in day out and it is none of your business what another person decides. In this world as we co-exist, we need to learn to respect one another more and allow each other to have different views and varying opinions.
The movie shows us that anything is possible and that life is all open to change.
It teaches us that life should never be taken for granted and so if we had the opportunity now, to take action now. It teaches us selfless love, something so hard to find these days in a society where everyone is self absorbed with their own agendas. And it teaches us to fly….
Why shouldn’t we? Sometimes we do not have enough freedom and confidence to fly and all we need is that nudge from someone who cares. Someone who cares enough to nudge us and if they really cared enough, they would push us. Do you care enough about anyone to push them? Push them and watch them soar as many a time these people do not even believe that they can fly……
I, for one, relate to this as I am making people fly…….
I LOVE my job.
