Nights in Rodanthe Review Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks
Based on this Nicholas Sparks novel, in this film, the characters of Diane Lane (Adrienne) and Richard Gere (Dr. Paul Flanner) have a unique chemistry for a romantic partnership that is sizzling again and so believable. As now single with two children, Adrienne is holding down the fort for her friend on the shore of North Carolina, she has one visitor at the Inn she is looking after, this is Paul. He is there to take care of issues of an importance of his own concerning a dire surgical procedure that he cannot rid himself of the guilt over. He has broken down his strategy over and over in his mind and desires greatly to meet the husband of the woman who did not survive the surgery. As a tremendous storm is bracing down on the Inn and these two have got to survive this plus so many personal emotions twisting around them in their private lives. He tells Adrienne that “life is all about choices” and in how this movie plays out, this is the truest statement said. A lovely but affecting romance for grown ups and younger people alike. I wish the movie production studios would take notice that there is a great audience for relationships between people over thirty-five, forty, plus… Romantic attachments are not formed specifically during youth but from shared situations, circumstances, and camaraderie, how would these things vanish solely after being young? … They wouldn’t.
As a mixed media artist and musician, I love looking at this film and seeing the primitive art, sea shells, driftwood, etc. My favorite scene is the horse running wild on the beach and the scenery, the HOUSE. Adore! It’s real life. I can relate to this wife who has been dealing with the heartbreak of infidelity in her marriage with young children! It tears your heart to pieces. You long for normalcy, beauty, and something to patch up your broken heart. Love that they go to the music, good food, the sea and good friends to mend their lives. There is plenty of emotion and real life situations. Every now and then I have to watch again. Very inspiring. As a native Californian I even thought of moving away from here to have a more idyllic quieter life than the now very fake, crazy, over crowded messed up L.A. People have come here and ruined it and have the nerve to complain about what mess it is now! It used to be idyllic. I long for the simple life I used to have, here, back in the day. It will never be that way again and So I have to watch it on screen. Art imitating life. It is worth your time to get away for a while to get some groove back!

SUMMARY
Adrienne Willis is 45 and has been divorced for three years, abandoned by her husband for a younger woman. The trials of raising her teenage children and caring for her sick father have worn her down, but at the request of a friend and in hopes of respite, she’s gone to the coastal village of Rodanthe in North Carolina to tend the local inn for the weekend. With a major storm brewing, the time away doesn’t look promising…until a guest named Paul Flanner arrives. At 54, Paul is a successful surgeon, but in the previous six months his life has unraveled into something he doesn’t recognize. Estranged from his son and recently divorced, he’s sold his practice and his home and has journeyed to this isolated town in hopes of closing a painful chapter in his past. Adrienne and Paul come together as the storm brews over Rodanthe, but what begins between them over the weekend will resonate throughout the rest of their lives, intertwining past and future, love and loss..
