Me before you

Post by Sumansona1344 »

I really loved the movie. Especially, the little details in it as they were same as written in the book.
For instance, his gift for her and her clothes.

I love that movie. Even recommend it to my friends all the time. Emilia Clark has done a great job.

My friend and I saw this and didn't enjoy it. I found it to be predictable and she feel asleep. At least I got through it. The movie is not everyone's cup of tea and that's ok.

The movie is quite realistic and that's what made it so beautiful. It is a story that makes you broken hearted but find solace that both main characters find their peace even after the painful event. Not all love stories ends in happy ending and that is the reality of it. It is a movie for those who hates cheesy love stories.

I think that this film was beautifully done and it tore me to shreds but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This film will always stay with me.

I have never read the book but the ending had me sobbing like a baby. I understand why he made the choice he did but I was hoping he would recover :cry:

I really loved the movie. I don't know how faithful it was to the book though. As of the moment, I have no intention of reading the book. If the book is better than the movie, I'll definitely read it though!

The movie makes me sad and happy at the same time. To be frank, I cry every time I watch this movie.

I love the movie! Emilia Clark does a great job and her wardrobe is awesome! I would love to read the book to see the differences!

That movie is so heart breaking. I thought Emilia Clarke was so delightful and Sam Claflin played a tortured man so well.

I really love this movie, even though I cried so much when I first saw it! But I think the story is really deep and moving. Both Emilia and Sam portrayed the characters really well. I've also read the book, and that was exactly how I've imagined them. It is a tough subject that Me before you addresses, but I think it's a beautiful movie.

I loved both the book and the movie. The book made me tear up. The latter was good, but not the best tearjerker love story ever made. The actors were fantastic nonetheless.

I haven’t read the book, but I have seen the movie. Part of me wants to read the book, but I’m always leery of reading a book after I’ve watched the movie adaptation. I’ve done it before, so I may end up reading the book.

I only watched the movie, and I was not moved by the story.
My BFF cried during our movie marathon, though.
Maybe I should read it to understand the story more.
just call me "jane" :tiphat:
