Looking for Alaska movie trailer

Before. The great perhaps. The soul force guiding miles halter out of his boring and mind numbing walk through life to his fascinating and dangerous life at the elite boarding school of Culver Creek. His life in Florida was filled with studying last words and spending nights at home. The boredom of public high school and his average Florida lifestyle only made him crave the great perhaps even more. When miles first enters the world of Culver Creek, the Alabama boarding school that all of his relatives had attended, he is quickly overwhelmed and anxious, believing he may have made a mistake by going on a hopeless journey for his great perhaps; even questioning that maybe he had gone searching for his great perhaps in the entirely wrong place. His mind is soon changed. When he walks out of the shower on his first day and is awkwardly introduced to his roommate, Chip (The Colonel) Martin, he is hopeful that he may have found a friend, but he makes sure not to admit that. The colonel quickly introduces him to his friends, and within a split second of walking into the friend's room he is stopped by the immediate understanding that his great perhaps stood before him. Alaska young. Smart, sexy, dangerous, crazy and unpredictable. She was the perfect escape from his boring mind, effortlessly pulling him down the rabbit hole into a world of mischief.

 From the moment Pudge met Alaska she was a hurricane, constantly an insane mystery he desired to solve. She was never quite forward with him, always just enough out of reach to keep him chasing after her. While she was a bright sun in his life, she was also a terrifying storm, her emotions often getting the best of her and lashing out in fear. He attempted to fit into her life the best he could and be there for her even when she wasn't there for him. With the pull of his friends he almost unknowingly begins to do things he never dreamed of doing. Smoking, drinking, playing pranks, breaking curfew. And while one would normally be concerned about falling into darkness, Miles is an example of a teen deprived of normal adolescent social changes and developments. The secluded world of Culver Creek is the boiling pot in which his character develops and changes.

Trying to please Alaska and stay in her focus, he would do anything she asked without a second thought. Over Thanksgiving break, Miles decided to not go home and instead stay with Alaska at Culver Creek for the week. She had nowhere to go for the break, and with him thinking it could be an opportunity to get closer to her, they both got something out of it. A week of excitement and questions of the meaning of suffering followed bringing him closer to her than ever before, just for her to crash and break down. On the last day of the break she stormed into his room sobbing and proclaiming that she screws everything up, eventually pulling away from him and being insulting. At the end of their conversation she came to her senses, realizing that he loved the girl who made him laugh and drinks wine with him, not the crazy and mean girl she had just been. Alaska never quite let anyone in, sharing her past to him in small details, leaving out major things perhaps in fear that once he saw who she really was, the mystery would be gone and he would become disinterested. It was only on the night after their great prank that he truly learned a pivotal detail of her past. This was three days before, a prank was to ensue.

The genius creation of the colonel, it was to be the prank to end the long standing feud between the uptight rich kids (the Weekday Warriors) and the ragtag group of kids including Alaska, The Colonel, Takumi and Lara that miles somehow ended up being a part of. There were to be three fronts. 

Front One: The pre-prank, miles and Takumi would light a bunch of fireworks out in the woods to get the attention of Mr. Starnes (The Eagle), the dean of students.

Front Two: Lara would put dye in the Weekday Warriors shampoo turning their hair blue.

Front Three: The Colonel would hack into the faculty computer network and use their grading database to send letters to the Weekday Warrior's families saying that they are all failing their classes.

With everyone having a role in this prank, it was able to go off without a hitch, Miles only leaving with a bite on his butt from a terrifying swan. Alaska had sent messages to all of the Weekday Warrior's parents and Lara had assured that they would really start to look blue. After the chaos of the mischief, they settled down at the barn at the back of the campus and spent the night in bliss, sharing stories and playing games.

The game, best day/worst day was to unknowingly spill a secret of Alaska's that she had never shared. While sharing their worst days, she spoke of the day in which her mother died, having a brain aneurysm. She spoke calmly, with no emotion. He was hurt that she never told him that and confused about how he could have never known. The unknowing nature of their relationship is what ultimately allowed her to slip out of his grasp again and again.

After. Nothing is the same. Will Miles ever find his great perhaps or will he be left wondering where it all went wrong? Will the girl of his dreams finally become attainable or will he lose her forever? Will Alaska finally solve the mystery of the labyrinth of suffering?

This book is no love story, but it does center around the mysteries of the many types of love we feel during our teenage years and the devastation that can impact us for the rest of our lives.
