Another novel of Nicolas Sparks turned movie which I expected to follow the trend of his novels themes but surprisingly it turned out a feel good movie. The Longest Ride tackles two story of romance – one in the past and one in the present that both discusses the issue of being with your special love versus your career. The “longest ride” here is perhaps the long narration of both love stories which has theme parallels to both story and affected the characters to the present one way or another. The love story is like the “longest ride” that goes on a journey but deserves to end beautifully. Nicolas Sparks novel-turned-movies still never fails to show gorgeous and stunning sceneries as its backgrounds - this time the beautiful farm settings of Wilmington, North Carolina. This has been a trend in Sparks movies and I won’t be surprise in upcoming The Choice (2016).
Though, the past love story is stronger versus the story of Luke Collins and Sophia Danko, their love story posed a premise on choices between love and career. It tells how much sacrifice is essential for relationships to work. Well, at some point one maybe bored with this romance film since most of the time this type of films by Nicolas Sparks novels involves a lot of dialogues and speeches rather than action. But I’m sure the bull-riding cowboy part of the film won’t surely bore you as this was quite thrilling. The Longest Ride taught us love requires sacrifice, which is also its famous line throughout the movie. The phrase is self-explanatory enough for The Longest Ride to be one of the memorable romantic films that come around.
