Me Before You

Kayla Flowers, Staff Writer

In the movie Me Before You, young and playful Louisa “Lou” Clark (Emilia Clarke who is known as Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO series “Game of Thrones”) moves from job to job with her family in order to make ends meet.  Throughout her many jobs, her upbeat attitude has never been put to the test the way this one does.  She becomes a caregiver for the cynical Will Traynor, a wealthy, young banker (Sam Claflin who is known as Philip Swift in Pirates of the Caribbean and Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games) who was paralyzed from the waist down in an accident two years prior.  Will’s pessimistic outlook on life begins to change once Louisa shows him that life is worth living no matter the circumstances or the obstacles thrown at him.  As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts begin to change in ways neither one of them could have ever imagined.
