After: A Review

Lets talk.

After: A Review
Mary Caitlyn Wright

First of all let me say, this movie was amazing and I am so proud of the cast and crew for making this movie come to life. There were some hits and misses, but overall the movie was amazing.

If you are a book lover, you know that the movie is not going to be actually the same. So that is the thought I had in my head when I walked into the theater. I kept track of the filming and clips that were released as teasers. I noticed many key elements that were shown in the teasers and that definitely kept me excited. But, news came that some of the scenes were being cut and I wasn't hoping it wasn't many of the main features.

The start of the film was exactly how I pictured. The actors and actresses were spot on in executing the scene. The emotion felt real and it felt exactly like I imagined it would. When arriving at the college and the scene where Tessa meets Steph was a little different than I imagined. I do remember in the book that along with meeting Steph, you also meet Hardin and some of the other main crew before Tessa's mother demands a room change. You don't meet Hardin until a little later on and the main crew until the frat party. It was a little different but I was not disappointed with the way the scenes flowed.

Hardin was portrayed a little differently but overall he was the same, Hardin. The attitude and look had the perfect fit for his character. The chemistry between him and Tessa was spot on and could be seen right away. That was definitely a plus for this movie.

The frat party scene was exactly how I expected but the outfit for Tessa was a little different but it works for the film.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
