Are
you looking for the perfect “date night” movie?
The Longest Ride is the movie you want.
I have been to my fair share of “chick flicks” and they always end with
everyone crying. This is not anything
like that. The Longest Ride is a love
story within a love story. It is set in
North Carolina where Sophia (Britt Robertson) attends Wake Forest
University. Sophia is an art lover and
is preparing for her internship at an art gallery in New York City when she is
dragged to a rodeo by her sorority sisters.
While
watching the rodeo she focuses in on a young bull rider, Luke (Scott Eastwood),
who is thrown off his bull and loses his hat.
When she picks it up he tells her to keep it and the love story begins.
While
out on their first date they stumble upon this elderly man Ira (Alan Alda) who
has been in an accident. After dropping
him at the hospital Sophia stays to make sure he is okay. He has a basket of letters that he wrote to
his late wife all through his life and asks Sophia to read them to him. This is where the love story within the love
story begins.
The
Longest Ride is about love, dedication, courage, devotion, compassion and
pride. Throughout the movie the characters show and remember romance and love
in a deeply personal way. I highly
recommend this movie as the perfect date night movie.
