“Purple Hearts”, a lovey-dovey and amorous Netflix drama makes an attempt to demonstrate a profound and unfeigned story through a certain arrangement which simply cannot help but brings out a ridiculous and ludicrous sense of feeling that may arouse a possible degree of destructive criticism in certain cultures.
“Purple Hearts”, directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum is predominantly based on the novel with the same name by Tess Wakefield draws a picture on the forged and deceitful military marriage that takes place between Cassie played by American actor and singer Sofia Carson and Luke, played by English actor Nicholas Galitzine. Cassie sings and composes songs simultaneously, to her utter dismay, she is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
The aspiring singer in Cassie and the effortlessly clean-cut and suave Luke who is a Marine eventually decide to tie the knot with the ulterior motive of gaining financial benefits that would heal themselves from their agonised grip of being in debt. Albeit the initial intention of Cassie and Luke was engulfed with their interest in the financial boom, sought out of desperation, with Luke being injured in combat, the dynamic of the couple changes, wherein Cassie is forced to be the caretaker of the wounded Luke.
Financial benefit
As told by some critics, Purple Hearts enjoyed a considerable probability of being one of the most sought after, stirring and eloquent melodramas or even might be a critical pasquinade, regarding the choices and the options left behind by the healthcare system of the country where the film was screened.
No love has blossomed between Cassie and Luke; a wave of reasons contribute towards the marriage in which the element of financial benefit takes the most significance. Due to the fact that both parties are equally benefited, nothing keeps the prospect of marriage at bay.
The couple knows the adversity of insincere and dramatic love that they got to feel and pretend in order to gain the benefits of marriage. You may just think of making a film where a marriage of convenience is swiftly negotiated between two people who are absolute strangers; it does not transform into genuine love and in lieu rather fervently comes to a crescendo in reciprocal rancour and purgative divorce.
Sobby fantasies
Sharing the hands on experiences of such stiff circumstances, some filmgoers say that those who are effortlessly moved by slushy and sobby fantasies in the calibre of “Purple Hearts” would even imagine experiencing the gravity of rather dramatic and pretentious feelings that would never be able to satisfy.
The matter of exoticism and courtship, in contrast do not seem to be on a higher level on each and everyone’s hate and watch list; “Purple Hearts” apparently riles and rankles many viewers as it entices and enraptures.
“Purple Hearts” is a synonym for Conservative fan fiction. Despite differences, the Marine who is beset by problems and the strong-willed singer come together where due to a battalion of troubles that life gives, they are forced to fake the marriage for financial commitments. The undertaking of the film itself is arguably a formidable endeavour in terms of its complex genre.
Not only does it strive for the synchronisation of the contradictory views extended by the critics, but it also intends to do so in a landscape that is politically charged. Meanwhile, the movie has invited reproval and disapproval for a few of its scenes that breed distressing racist and misogynistic stereotypes.
