We bought A Zoo

This was the 1st movie we watched in 2012, awesome! It's a good education movie. I love it with these highlights:

1. When people asked you "Why? " Just have to reply " Why not? "

2. " What ever " is the most lazy answer, do you agree?

3. Life is full of obstacles, unpredictable and possibility.

4. Many things need a lots of heart, follow your heart.

5. 20 seconds courage, something great will come upon you



(From wikipedia)
We Bought a Zoo is a 2011 comedy-drama film based on a memoir by Benjamin Mee. The film is directed by Cameron Crowe, and it stars actor Matt Damon as the lead character Benjamin Mee. We Bought a Zoo tells the story of Benjamin Mee and his family who just moved into a dilapidated zoo. They took on the challenge of preparing the zoo for its reopening to the public.

The real zoo
The zoo in the film is called Rosemoor Wildlife Park and is situated in California. The real zoo is named Dartmoor Zoological Park, which is located in Devon, England. However, the fictional Rosemoor Wildlife Park is closely based on Dartmoor Zoological Park. The original story was adapted for an American audience and the changes met with the approval of the author, Benjamin Mee.

There are several differences between the movie storyline and what happened in the real world. For example, Benjamin's wife, Katherine, died after they had bought the zoo and had moved in.jaguar called Sovereign that had escaped. Additionally, Benjamin's children were much younger (aged four and six respectively) than the children in the film.

In the film, the zoo was a lot easier to buy. In real life, the zoo took almost two years to buy. Benjamin's first offer to buy the zoo was rejected due to his lack of experience in the zoological world.
