The Longest Ride is such a beautiful story.
I don't have time to make a review for this movie cause I need to go to bed quickly.
But I'm fully aware what I'm about to write : the messages of the author to all people out there.
We knew life is not easy, and so is love.
Being in love is a part of our lives and having the circumstances behind it are just another story.
When Sophia fell in love with Luke, she knew her life was going to change.
They came from two different worlds : Sophia with her art enthusiasm and Luke who passionately risking his life in bull-riding.
"I tried to fit in your world of bull-riding but why can't u do the same thing to fit in my world?"
Luke was trying to make art as a joke in front of Sophia's boss and that wasn't supposed to happen.
When Sophia knew she couldn't do this anymore for their relationships, she walked away.
She walked away to figure things out.
Their love story was actually quite similar to an elderly couple named Ira and Ruth.
Sophia tried to look in every angles she could when Ira told her about his love story.
"Love requires sacrifice. The moment you know it's going to be worth, you have to work for it. For me and Ruth, we celebrated every moments that we have and not regretting something we didn't have the chance."
After WW2, Ira had an injury which left him with reproduction problems.
Ruth and him didn't have any children due to Ira's condition while it was Ruth's biggest dream to have a big family but they managed to cope with understanding.
Sophia lost his only opportunity to work with a firm that belonged to her world of art because of Luke.
She had a phone call coming from the hospital telling her Luke was injured on the day she was supposed to go to New York for a huge exhibition.
"How can I be with someone that I don't even know if I could actually see him again everytime he walks out the door? I chose you over my future carrier, why can't you do the same damn thing for the sake of our relationship?"During Luke's final show, he scored the highest mark but he realized it didn't mean anything to him.
"The girl could be the rest of your life".
He remembered those words uttered by her mother.
From that moment, he knew when Sophia had done everything and left behind her only opportunity just to be with him, he realized he also should be able to make a change by sacrificing his passion in bull-riding and started something knew with Sophia.
"The only thing I do know for sure is that we both want to, we'll find a way to make it work". (The Longest Ride, 2015)
The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you'll see their flaws. That's just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendship don't last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they're out of money or under pressure or hungry, for goodness' sake.
Love is something different. It is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind. Love is deliberate. It is hard to be achieved as people yearn for it, live for it and die for it. It is all about pain and sacrifice and seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump the ship.
