3/3/2024 0 Comments Me and before youI just wish they'd left the shoe rack out of shot in a particular scene near the end, as I was too busy looking at the shoes to pay proper attention to the dialogue. Today I want to talk about the bestselling book and just out now movie, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, and if you haven’t read the book yet then I’d say you should get yourself a copy and read. I also loved Louisa's wardrobe, both her crazier ensembles as well as the more show-stopping stuff, like the red dress. The characters are the best bit about the book, and when an author writes their own screenplay you know the protagonists are in safe hands - although some great casting helped, particularly with the secondary characters (including Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, Brendan Coyle and Matthew Lewis). Although some of Moyes' straight-out-the-book dialogue felt clunky on screen, I thought, overall, that the film was a really good adaptation. I liked the characters and found them realistic, the story drew me in and the writing style made for an easy read. Although not a particularly fast-paced book, Me Before You was impossibly hard to put down. With very little experience under her belt she struggles to find something new, until an opportunity comes up as a carer to Will Traynor, a (young, rich, attractive) man who has recently been paralysed. Me Before You is the story of Louisa Clark, an up-beat, unambitious twenty-six year old who finds herself un-employed when the cafe she has worked at for six years closes it's doors. But overall I have mixed feelings, mostly because of the ending. ![]() The film was a faithful adaptation - not surprising really as Moyes also wrote the screenplay - and I enjoyed it, as I did the book. So I think we can say it was a good read, whatever else it was. Before I went I thought I'd read the book, which I finished in like a day and a half. I'd usually go for something a bit more cheery, but girly films seem to be few and far between nowadays and the trailer looked cute. ![]() On Saturday, I went to see Me Before You, an adaptation of JoJo Moyes' prize winning romantic weepie about a young quadriplegic man (Sam Claflin) and his carer (Emilia Clarke). ![]() If you fell in love with Lou Clark, find out what she does next in After You and Still Me - out now!
