Short description
Lou Clark, a directionless 26-year-old from the English countryside, takes a job at the local castle as a caregiver and companion to a wealthy young banker, Will Traynor. Wheelchair-bound from an accident two years prior, the once adventurous Will has all but given up — that is until Lou determines to show him that life is worth living.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film directorial debut of theater director Thea Sharrock.
- In Jojo Moyes' novel (2012), on which Thea Sharrock based her film, Lou Clark gets a bumblebee tattoo. Emilia Clarke, who played the role, has such a tattoo on her finger (it was her first tattoo).
- Emilia Clarke, who plays Louisa Clark, and Charles Dance, who plays Steven Traynor, both appeared in the series 'Game of Thrones' (2011), but did not share any scenes together. Richard Madden, a friend of Jenna Coleman who plays Katrina Clark, also starred in the same series.
- Some argue that Will could not have cut his veins because his hands do not obey him. According to the book, Will found a nail sticking out of the wall and simply ran his wheelchair back and forth along it.
- The film provoked numerous critical remarks from people with disabilities, who believed that it promotes suicide for such individuals.
- Emilia Clarke convinced Matthew Lewis to shave his legs before filming.
- The film omits many scenes described in the book and at least one character.
- The subtitled French film that the characters watch is titled "Of Gods and Men".
- In the historical television series 'The White Queen' (2013), Janet McTeer played Jacquetta of Luxembourg, the mother of Elizabeth, who was destined to ascend the throne. Charles Dance played the father of Cersei Lannister in the series 'Game of Thrones' (2011). It is believed that the character of Cersei was partially based on Elizabeth Woodville. In 'Me Before You', McTeer and Dance play a married couple.
