Movie Review: The Longest Ride




I’ve decided to proclame this week Nicholas Spark’s week here on the blog!  
I went to watch the movie with my sister, which is no shocker if it wasn’t that it was the first the first Nicholas Spark’s based movie where I didn’t read the book and she did. Outrageous!!


As in all movies of this author, the scenography and the soundtrack were outstanding. I loved them! 
Needless to say, the set is in....Nord Carolina, yeah!!
Read my opinions right after a brief plot!

Sophia Danko is a diligent college student, focused on finishing her studies and starting her dream job: working in an art gallery. She already got an internship in New York as soon as she graduates, so any kind of relatioship is not a priority.
And yet she gets persuaded by her friend Marcia to go with her to a rodeo; there she’ll met Luke Collins, a real cowboy: old fashioned and polite, the connection between them is undeniable, but their relationship could be a complicated one.

Luke is riding back Sophia to her college dorm after their first (and probably last) date, when a downpour breaks throught and along the way they find a car that broke through the guard rail.
An old man is stuck in there and the couple succeed in the rescue and took him to the nearest hospital, where Sophia volunteers on waiting for him to wake up.
Eventually he does and we get to know his name, Ira Levinson, as well as his story.

Sophia starts to pay him some visits and during that time she understand why Ira asked her to take a basket full of hand written letters from his car, when she and Luke helped him: those are love letters Ira wrote to his (late) wife Ruth, during their life together and he agrees when Sophia says she could read them to him
Those letters are an remembrance of Ira and Ruth’s life together, filled with joy and happy moments as well as sad ones.
My Opinion👍👎
If you think you know how this is going to end, let me assure you one thing: you don't! 
This movie is emotional (let me just add that a few girls sobbed in the theatre during the finale!), witty and, as I've already stated, with amazing soundtrack and breathtaking scenographies!
This is probably one of the best movies based on Nicholas Sparks' novels, it really worth the movie ticket!

Ranking : 4/5
