As they say, a bad day doesn’t end bad. There will be a silver
lining to it. And today I experienced it. Misunderstandings, stress, feeling
alone, missing some part of me somewhere were the feelings to which I was
exposed today. It was not a good start, with all those addiction to my stupid
hand partner(mobile). With no other ways of relaxing myself I was in a loop of
watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S in youtube. Because of my little fear of completing my
work before deadline, I made myself to sit down to work on my presentation. Long
back, a colleague of mine shared a pinch of his treasured movie collection and was
expecting me to comment about his taste and my review about the movies. Through
some ray of expectation, I wanted to try one from it. My choice was “The
Longest ride”. Without any clue on what I’m going to watch, what emotion the
movie is awaiting to give me, how the actors have done their job, I sat with my
pillow and laptop with fully charged battery. The chillness that the AC
provided and no noise around me created the best of the climate to cherish the
script. Seeing the female lead who is one of my favourites and the casual and
breezy storyline I was travelling along the script. With the old man entering
their lives I was not much interested at first. But then with few more scenes
of him I started falling in love with his life than the lead actors’. The love,
the compassion, the sacrifice, the care, Ira and Ruth had was unexplainable. It
was a subtle movie which cuddled me with thoughts, lessons and it was like some
power caressing me, gliding its hand over my hair and talking to me those
words which Ira shared with Sophia. The sacrifice Ruth had made for her love,
the hardships to adapt that Ira took for seeing the smile in her face, the
decision Sophia made to let her dreams go to be with her love and the
realisation dawned on Luke to choose which was his life, brought me tears.
“What made you to buy that painting?”
“Ira”
(I was literally crying)
I wanted to pour out my words about this movie in my
whatsapp status. In my search for a pic of the casts and some quotes from it, I
was thrown with another surprise. I felt my heart beat racing up when I found
it. That movie has been taken from my most favourite story sculptor “Nicolas Sparks”.
Still amazed by those 2 hours and 8 minutes journey, the journey of love of Ira-Ruth
and Luke-Sophia.
I could not stop typing my experience about that movie here,
in this post. Still, I had to right!
