I didn't get through the whole movie. I had to leave when that piece of sh*t went out with the bull hook. I knew what was coming. I knew where the movie was headed. I left. Too upsetting for me. - @Friday, June 24, 2011 11:40 AM

@rainydays190 You are sorry because you are an idiot? You are sorry because only idiots would not know how they make elephants do handstands? Or are you sorry because you are such a fan of robertpattersin you would rather lick his balls than face up to facts....everyone knows why you are sorry and it isn't because you have any knowledge about anything. - @Tuesday, May 31, 2011 11:39 AM

megaelectrolyte

@rainydays190 Well if you don't want to educate yourself how they train an elephant to do a handstand then you are an idiot. Go to circuses dot com to learn about the training methods as you don't seems to know anything what you are talking about. Its a PETA site and you will learn there is no such thing as a humane way to make an elephant do a handstand you moron - @Monday, May 30, 2011 2:04 AM

megaelectrolyte

@rainydays190 Its helarious you think that they train a elephant to do handstands through postive reinforcement. You should visit the website circuses dot com to see how they thrain elephants to do tricks...there is NO OTHER WAY - @Sunday, May 29, 2011 11:27 PM

megaelectrolyte

@rainydays190 YOU ARE IGNORANT! You want to defend this movie for the love of the actors PERIOD! You don't give a damn about the elephants because if you did then you would not want to see elephants be used in any movie at all. This elephant is used for profit and that is all, if they gave a damn about their elephants they would send them off to live in the Tennessee elephant sanctuary or PAWS in California. Everyone with a brain knew how elephants are trained to do these tricks B4 the movie! - @Sunday, May 29, 2011 11:23 PM

This movie led to the most amazing discovery ever. By the end of it, I realized my hubby is a superhero. In half a second he made it to the exit of a 600 seats room plus he managed to put his coat on on the way. Wow,wow, he's supersonic! I'm not that fast though. It took me a whole second to do the same :( .Well, maybe next time! That elephant should get an Oscar. - @Wednesday, May 18, 2011 6:29 PM

I saw this film at the weekend and its one of the most incredible films I've seen. You have to watch it. They all play their roles perfectly to give the maximum affect, including the elephant. It tugs on your heart strings and yet fills you with happiness at the same time. I recommend this film to anyone who wants a cry or who wants to feel better in life. :) xxx <3 - @Tuesday, May 3, 2011 3:55 PM

If you watch this movie you support animal cruelty....I refuse to watch this film...it sickens me to see how they are promoting using animals for entertainment....sad. see the truth... WATCH the trailer on "how I became an elephant" see what elephants really have had to go through for human entertainment. - @Saturday, April 23, 2011 8:30 PM
