my favorite movie

The story presents an unexpected romance in a unique and compelling. Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student, meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star of Circus of the bygone era, were discovered amid the beauty of the world of carp and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds, including the wrath of August, the charismatic but dangerous husband of Marlena, Jacob and Marlena find their love for life.


The film begins in 2003 , with old Jacob ( of 94 years ) going to visit a circus , but comes in the night and the circus is closed. Then , he starts talking with the owner of the circus, and tells the story of his life. In 1931 , during the Great Depression, he was a 23- year-old who studied veterinary medicine at Cornell University in the United States. Just the day was to give his final exam , will report that their parents have died in a car accident . He then learns that his parents had no money , I had invested everything (even the house in which they lived ) in their education. Since he was not working , you should drop everything and go , I had nothing else to do there . Jacob walks every day , until one night he jumped on a train passing by , was the Benzini Brothers circus train . Through his studies , in the circus, does exert a small job as a veterinarian. Jacob was hired by the circus owner , August, whose wife was Marlena Rosenbluth , the Amazon 's main circus show . She loved animals . When the circus began to be popular with the money they earned , they bought an elephant for 53 years . Jacob touches him train but when August ignore it knocks him badly wounded and bleeding. When Jacob trains the elephant spends time with Marlena , which gradually makes a romance between them arises . They fight against the cruel August for his love , because he refuses to give in to Marlena .
Overall the film speaks about how difficult it can become life, with their impossible love and its unexpected turns , also making an allusion to the mistreatment of animals . Through the example of the young Jacob , who manages to overcome the tragedy of death of their parents, fight for his love and rid Rose, the elephant , the horrible treatment of August , we show that if something you want with all my heart and work hard to achieve it anything is possible .



The movie I like because it shows the level of overcoming that can have a person that if you work hard it gets, or rather no glory without sacrifice.

shows the sensitivity of the characters in the movie, how can you feel compassion for an animal as beautiful as an elephant, as love can reach the most inside each heart and can overcome anything.

by showing how difficult their lives were and how they could achieve superarce by love.
