Movie Review

The movie was a very good one.  I thought it showed the circus in a correct light and had all the major scenes from the book.  I really enjoyed the characters, although i thought Mr. Twilight was probably not best suited for the role.  He did a good job none the less.  Marlena was perfectly portrayed, although I may think that because I saw the movie before I read the book. I also think that August was shown well.  I think it might have been a better movie if they hadn't taken out Uncle Al, because then August could have followed the book more, because the book was excellent.  I absolutely loved the book, it was graphic, gritty, and fantastic! The movie did it justice and I was happy with it.

POV of August

Everything is so hectic and crazy.  We got Jacob who is a great vet and would-be friend, but the bastard has eyes for my dear sweet Marlena!  And I think my dearest may have eyes for him as well.  I see them together all the time.  He is always touching and staring at my sweetheart.  I try to be nice to both of them and this how they treat me?!  I am friendly and hospitable and they cheat me!  Sure sometimes I may lose it a bit, but it's because I am so stressed with managing everything and now I have to keep an eye on my own wife!  There surely is no worse thing!  Then there is that damn bull that does nothing and it drives me insane!  I try so hard and all I get in return is a ton of money lost, while all the thing does is eat and sleep!  I really do feel bad when I lose it and hurt her, but it just can't be helped sometimes.  I feel like I am losing everything.

Cricus Thoughts

Well, when I was a wee laddy I had never been to the Circus, but I had been to the fair so I thought the Circus would be fun kinda like that.  I also thought the Circus was full of mean people because I had watched Dumbo many times and everyone was mean to him. So when I read all of this stuff about the Circus and it being filled with mean people, I wasn't surprised.
