Byłabym bardzo wdzięczna za sprawdzenie poniższej recenzji ;)
'Me before you' is a real tear-jerker. On the bought cinema ticket there should be the information that anyone who does not have an appropriate number of tissues will not be let in.
Will Trainor has probably never foreseen that his fairytale and extremely active life would shift so dramatically. A motorbike accident makes him a wheelchair- bound man and the diagnose sound for him like a life sentence. Two years go past and as luck would have it, 26-year-old Lou, a talkative, clumsy and wearing bizarre clothing girl from the province, becomes his carer. The relationship between embittered Will and scatterbrained Lou is initially very difficult and filled with hostility from his side. But gradually, to everybody's astonishment, both of them strike the chord with each other and therefore their lives turn upside down.
The film persuades us to consider the position and the decision of Will, which changes lives of all people around him. An extremely strong and permanent tie between Lou and Will makes the adaptation be very emotional.
Jojo Moyes, the author of a novel under the same title, has written the script herself and it has been a bull's eye. Thanks to it she has successfully managed to create as expressive and intelligent characters as originally. She is one of few people who touches upon the uncomfortable problem of euthanasia, which calls into question the sense of existence.
An excellent choice was to cast Emilia Clarke as the main character. Together with Sam Claflin they create a tight pair, the tension between them is visible to the naked eye and therefore it is very easy to believe in the feeling deeply moving the audience.
'Me before you' lacks the exaggerated banality, irritative and tiring dialogues and declarations. This is a more intimate story with a lot of smile, humour and a substantial dose of emotions.
The book of Moyes is so unique thanks to the ending and, fortunately, in the adaptation it remains the same. It is not outstanding and has not avoided naive and conventional solutions, which have been depicted many times before. Nevertheless, it has some subtlety in itself and in the way it teaches us the acceptance of choices and tolerance.
