DAY 13: A Favorite Love Story
The complex love story in “Sweet
Home Alabama” represents not only Melanie Carmichael/Smooter’s choice between
her current beau and her childhood sweetheart, but her choice between her
Greenville, Alabama hometown and New York.
The comparisons between the two
places and people drive the movie forward.
Will she stay with her current lifestyle or will a trip back home change
everything for her?
What would you do if you had to
choose between your current life and your past?
Would you combine them or keep them separate?
The large cast works extremely
well – and everyone has a unique personality.
No two people are the same. The
country characters are living in their high school football glory days, but
also realistic about the future. Her new
New York friends are willing to help Melanie find happiness, even if it could
mean her moving back home.
Melanie escaped her past to
discover her own path and became a fashion designer. She’s successful; much more so than any of
her high school friends. Jake Perry, her
childhood sweetheart, is the only person to almost reach her success and that
was only after realizing that if he wanted to win her back, he needed to be
more than a simple country boy.
“Sweet Home Alabama” is a movie about second
chances, love, the combination of two contrasting worlds. A must see.
