[ 6 picks ] elephants never forget

i recently watched water for elephants and was SURPRISED by how much i liked the film. and beyond the costumes/set design, which were expectedly wonderful! the acting was great and the story was great. plus, i'm a huge fan of the 1920s-40s. the way people dressed and looked and talked. delight!

so, this 6 picks was requested by autumn <3 and good thing cus i can't believe i haven't done one on elephants yet!
