Yes, I know I just said that the movie stayed fairly true to the novel. I thought that this adaptation, perhaps because Jojo Moyes, who wrote the book, was also the principle screenwriter.ģ- There are a lot of things left out of the movie. Too often the movie changes too much and I’m left feeling betrayed. I often worry about seeing a film adaptation of a favorite book. Don’t expect everything to be rosy and wrapped up in a pretty bow in the end.Ģ- The movie stays surprisingly true to the book. The movie captured the emotion of Will and Lou’s story better than I could have expected. It’s a powerful, emotional movie that hits you at the core. Even the man next to be got all blubbery. If you’re not in the mood to cry, wait to see this movie. I want to keep this discussion as spoiler-free as possible for those of my readers who have not read the book while still answering the questions that those of you who HAVE read the book have been asking me.ġ- You will cry. I have struggled over the last 24 hours with what to say about the movie. “I just want to be a man who’s been to a concert with a girl in a red dress a few minutes more.” – Will Traynor 10 Things to Know Before You See Me Before You Joining them are Janet McTeer as Camilla Traynor, Charles Dance as Steven Traynor, Brendan Coyle as Bernard Clark, Jenna Coleman as Katrina Clark, Matthew Lewis as Patrick, Ben Lloyd-Hughes as Rupert Freshwell, Vanessa Kirby as Alicia Dewar, Steve Peacocke as Nathan, and Samantha Spiro as Josie Clark. The cast is impressive, with Emilia Clarke as Louisa Clark and Sam Claflin as William (Will) Traynor. Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some suggestive material. That is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.Įmbarking together on a series of adventures, both Lou and Will get more than they bargained for, and find their lives-and hearts-changing in ways neither one could have imagined. No longer the adventurous soul he once was, the now cynical Will has all but given up. Taking a job at the local “castle,” she becomes caregiver and companion to Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), a wealthy young banker who became wheelchair bound in an accident two years prior, and whose whole world changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. Her normally cheery outlook is put to the test, however, when she faces her newest career challenge. With no clear direction in her life, the quirky and creative 26-year-old goes from one job to the next in order to help her tight-knit family make ends meet. Sometimes it takes you where you never expected to go…Louisa “Lou” Clark (Emilia Clarke) lives in a quaint town in the English countryside. It looked like a compelling love story.Ībout Me Before You: Oftentimes you find love where you least expect it. I’ve finally stopped crying (I’m only kind of kidding). I finished reading the book just a few days before. It has been about 24 hours since I saw Me Before You, a romantic drama directed by Thea Sharrock and adapted by the author, Jojo Moyes, from her 2012 novel, Me Before You.
