movie thoughts: Wild (2014)

[orangerful]

We watched Wild last night. I enjoyed it but I doubt I would ever watch it again. I was actually really impressed with how they told the story. It can be so hard to translate non-fiction onto the big screen. I hadn't read the book, but I felt like the way the writer and director handled giving audience the information they needed was really artistically done for a big Hollywood movie.

Reese Witherspoon did a good job, it really is her movie. As luck would have it, we watched Legally Blonde the weekend before because I wanted to see it again. That was the movie that introduced me to her so to watch that and then watch Wild was like seeing her entire range haha.

Not a lot of humor or fun moments in the movie, which is why I would probably never go back to it. It was good, everyone involved did a good job (even the random guy who is EVERYWHERE right now, Orphan Black, Game of Thrones - Michiel Huisman. I'm not complaining though. I don't mind looking at him and I'm not even into beardy types).

It was good, but it made me so tired! LOL. (also, Tim hates anything to do with finger nails and toe nails being hurt, so he was freaking out during the opening scene LOL)

I LOVED this movie and it really made me want to get back in touch with nature. I like how the movie played out because the narration in the book is insufferable.
