If this didn’t capture the raw reality and representation of chronic illness, go to the Twitter forums to tell you. My insurance doesn’t cover the insulin that I need. Luke slowly begins to let Cassie see that it’s okay to let someone in, and doesn’t mock her for believing “the future is female.” And, as someone who has so long learned to rely on her own and deny the help of others, this moment got me. As the two begin to reconnect after Luke returns from Iraq, Cassie puts down the idea of Luke helping with anything, even for fixing a broken door knob. With any relationship, it’s important for people to learn to rely on the people around them. You know you can let a guy help you and still be a feminist? If there’s anything this pandemic has highlighted for us all, it’s that capitalism as a whole is entirely soul-sucking. Rather than see the pursuit of music and the arts as a glorified, happy pursuit of your joy, Cassie keeps it real with us. I’d rather hustle for my art any day.Ĭassie, like all of us other jaded creatives, gets it. Rough would be punching the clock at some soul-sucking job while I’m just making the rich richer. My band and I have been working at it for like, five years. These are some of their best moments, in my fine opinion, that highlight their character: Purple Hearts. The two once hated each other and soon grow to depend on each other, lean on each other, and be there for each other - in sickness and in health. Though the film is tightly wound with some pretty powerful songs sung by Sofia Carson herself (who finds an unexpected muse in Luke for her once jaded soul), we grow with Cassie and Luke. I wasn’t expecting the film to hit as many points as it would: as a statement on our society and its lack of insurance and benefits the idea of “bro militia” and racism the fear of falling in love and more. The film centers around the unlikely marriage between a young singer-songwriter Cassie (Sofia Carson) and a jaded Marine Luke (Nicholas Galitzine) who agree to marry solely for military benefits. Netflix’s Purple Hearts makes us believe that love just happens - that no matter how hard you may try to run away, it will always find its way back if it’s meant to be. And although it’s been a while since I’ve seen a film that I could deem as one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time, Purple Hearts might be just that. And these are the moments that especially hit me hard in the heartstrings.Ī good love story makes us believe that love will triumph, above all costs, conflicts, trials and tribulations. Just like the rest of the world, Purple Hearts got me.
