Me Before You Full Movie History-2016:
Me Before You is a romantic novel written by Jojo Moyes. The book was first published on January 5, 2012 in the United Kingdom. A sequel entitled After You was released 29 September 2015 through Pamela Dorman Books.
Will Traynor was a high achieving and wealthy man who enjoyed life to its fullest, whether this was his successful and demanding job, the many adventures he had experienced, or his equally successful girlfriend. However, he becomes permanently disabled due to an unfortunate road accident.
Two years later, Louisa Clark loses her job at the local café ‘The Buttered Bun’. She is a 26 year old, unambitious woman with very few qualifications. Louisa lives with her working-class family and is constantly outshone by her younger, more intelligent sister, Treena, who is a single mother. Her parents become disappointed because the entire family depends on her wage. Louisa goes to the Job Centre where Syed, the Job Centre assistant, finds an ultimate option which is to look after a disabled man. Louisa gets accepted and is hired by Camilla Traynor, the mother of Will, because she thinks her son needs someone able to brighten his spirits. Louisa notices how falsely everyone is acting in Granta House, Will's family mansion. She later finds out that Mr. Traynor has an extra-marital relationship. However, due to her, Will has become more communicative and open-minded.
Louisa notices that Will's wrists are covered with scars. One day, she overhears Will's mother and sister talking privately and finds out that he tried to commit suicide shortly after his mother refused to grant his wish to end his life through Dignitas, an assisted suicide organization. Horrified at his attempt to commit suicide, his mother agrees to honor his wish, but only on the condition that he agrees to live six more months. In that time, she secretly plans to change his mind and show him life is still worth living.
Reception for Me Before You has been positive and the book was placed on the Richard and Judy Book Club. USA Today and the New York Times both praised the work, with the New York Times reviewer commenting that "When I finished this novel, I didn’t want to review it; I wanted to reread it.
