The Best of Me. Wow…it’s rare for a movie to make me tear up as much as that one. I believe It does a decent job of portraying why drugs should remain illegal. Forget about the socioeconomic effects for a second it has on the people who do drugs; not to mention the economy at large but I’m not preaching politics. Imagine the possible violence and darkness that surrounds the lives of the people who grow, sell, deliver or manufacture it. Sure you could call it Hollywood or another not so surprising Sparks novel but in the grand scheme of things it uncovers the veil before us of the reality we often deny or stick our heads in the sand to.The Notebook, Pride and Prejudice, and The Outsiders all thrown into one. In the end evil won. Like yes I get it in the end rich frat boy still got a heart transplant and Amanda still got her dream career afterall…but what about Bobby’s son whom we’ll never know if he got rescued in the end.
