Water For Elephant Poster Analysis

The movie poster for Water For Elephants taken by, ??????, shows two people, a man and a woman, passionately holding each other while standing in the middle of the image. The man is holding the woman’s lower back and is looking down at her, his forehead resting upon the top of her head. She is lightly resting her hand on his bicep and has her head down toward his chest. Both of their eyes are closed and their bodies are pushed closely against one another. The man has on a dirty white cotton long sleeved shirt. The collar of his shirt has buttons, however, it is open, revealing the top of his chest. He is also wearing dark jeans that appear to be too big. There is a thick brown whip attached to his belt loop and hanging down the side of his

Maybe it’s because we all want to be a part of and feel something much bigger and more important than our selves.
