Me Before
You, a romance film that came out on June 3rd, is the movie I am dying to see.
It's supposed to be silly, deep, and heart-wrenching at the same time. And let
me tell you, I am so ready to watch it. But before I do, I'd like to discuss my
discovery of it and my reactions to the pre-movie hype-up.
Here I was,
scrolling through Snapchat's Discover feature. I had clicked on Buzzfeed,
because I love Buzzfeed, and started to scroll through their offerings. It was
slim pickings in early May, to be honest. But I happened upon an ad. Usually
I'd just scroll past, but the soft music and colors had caught my eye. Before I
go on, it's important to note that I'm a huge sucker for romance and sappy,
overly-sentimental experiences. Anything that makes my heart squeeze in my
chest is a good thing. However, this also means that I am prone to sudden
outbursts of tears or dry sobbing. Be warned.
Anyways,
after watching several of these small ads, my curiousity was peaked and I could
not help but search the hashtag. I then found Me Before You's website. I
proceeded to watch both trailers AND the music video, crying quite a bit. It
looked really good, even though I had not read the book (regretfully. I must do
so in the near future).
All I can
say is that while media may have led me to this movie, I'm trying to avoid
every spoiler ever, or I'll be very upset. Media is a double-edged blade.
