Promoting self belief and acceptance.

Not really sure what theI point of this film was.
To me this movie made no sense other than promoting self acceptance, love and family dynamics.
I went into it expecting a scifi, empowering, adventure story, instead I found it overall lacklustre. I was honestly bored after half an hour which rarely happens and the disappointing thing was, that this could have been a great film, it had good potential.
Im not even sure this film would appeal to kids to be honest.
However I would say its very colourful and the visuals are pretty good.

There's another version of this movie that's really good. You might consider checking it out. Part of the problem I had with this version was Oprah's demanding that God and Christianity be taken out. Those beliefs were a huge part of the book, and to take them out ruins the story.

I'll have to check them out then, cos this story did seem a bit gaping, perhaps the other version has more meaning then

genuinely haunting at times
some poor acting takes away from the plot (1 more)
although it deals with some issues the lgbtqia+ deal with in terms of acceptance, their representation ends up being solely negative (the same can be said for mental health issues, with dangerous stereotypes being represented)

I wrote this.
Elephant Shoe is a story of loss and hope; acceptance and forgiveness; family, friendship and first love.

It's a British LGBT YA with mild sexual content, moderate bad language, and some difficult themes.


Read it.
Rate it.
Review it.
(Please and thank you).
That'd be bloody marvelous!

Happy Reading!

This is definately a book I would recommend to some of my students. It is a coming of age book but with the major complication of gender identity. Birdsall did a very good job of showing the struggles that can be faced when you do dot fit in the "norm". The compassion and acceptance shown in this book was magnificent.

Book Favorite

"This book, whose title translates as “100 Elephants on a Blade of Grass,” begins with His Holiness’ moving Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. It was the first serious book on Buddhism that I read, and it inspired me to learn more about the philosophy. I attribute most of the qualities I have today to the spirituality and teachings of His Holiness."

Diamantino is a gorgeous, kind-hearted fable about acceptance of who people are, rather than who we want them to be. It’s a bit like being in a sweet shop in a dream, you are bombarded by images and ideas – it’s all a little kitsch and little crazy, but ultimately there is emotion at the core.
