The Air He Breathes

This movie is a touching and moving story about grief and finding love again.

If you have read the book "The Air He Breathes" by Brittainy Cherry, then you will not be disappointed! This movie is just as good as the book! Yes, such a rarity indeed.

Aside from cutting some tiny scenes here and there from the book, the plot of the movie did not change at all and held true to the original plot of the book.

The cast of the film was just like how I imagined the characters from the book would be like, especially the two main characters.

The acting was very well done and the film location was beautiful.

Don't let your dog run free off leash. If he/she gets hit while running into the middle of the street, you have no one to blame but yourself. If your dog gets hit by a car, and the driver is kind enough to stop & help (even drives you both to the closest veterinary hospital) you should thank them. Don't be a d*ck about it.

If you're the driver, it's not your fault.

If a loved one dies, their spirit will find you no matter where you move to.

If you're extra private, close your drapes. Can't be mad if your neighbor casually looks across into your window, while seated at their dining room table.

If a beautiful woman moves in next door, be kind to her. Especially if you are in customer service, and run a small business in a small town. Word gets around quickly.

If a strong young man volunteers to cut your lawn, for free, accept the help.

This Passionflix movie goes similar to a hallmark movie, if the hallmark movie actually showed the romance and intimate scenes.

It's not the best Passionflix movie, but it is an enjoyable romantic drama. It just starts out kind of depressing.

I would have given this a 10/10 but the book was way better than this movie. They finally have 2 hot leads in this and great chemistry. As a fan of the book they could have done a whole lot better in my opinion, whenever they do these projects they always rush stuff and make it feel like very little work was taken from the actual book and source material. There was definitely a shift or two where I see what they took out of the book and made me mad that they did because the whole book needed to be in there but it does get there emotionally. I wish I could've cried more the same way I did with the book but I only cried in one scene. They should've shown more of Tristan's side equally as Elizabeth's.

A film intended to be a drama set in a romantic backdrop ended up feeling overly sentimental and clichéd, with scenes that lacked authenticity in portraying genuine love. "The Air He Breathes" topped a Booktok list of "Books that make you ugly cry," and that claim is maybe not an exaggeration for the book - but the film adaptation missed the mark entirely. While I can't speak for grief-stricken widows in the USA, I know a few from around the globe, and they certainly don't behave like the character in this film. Her actions reminded me of a term from the Macedonian language that aptly describes this type of woman: kurozderica!

This film seems tailored for lonely women who prefer to indulge in fantasies rather than confront reality, so let's leave it to them!

It's happened so many times that movies based on books have strayed away from the plot, from the characters and the overall feeling of the story. I'm usually very disappointed. Perfect example Beautiful Disaster. However, The Air He Breathes was very true to the book - characters and plot. I give kudos to the script writer who basically translated the book into a script and the actors playing Elizabeth and Tristan did an awesome job bringing the characters to life. If you loved the book I would give this a watch. I'll leave you with this: I didn't ugly cry but there were definitely tears in more than 1 scene.
