Directed by Lance Hool, the stars of the movie are Jacob Elordi, Tiera Skovbye, Radha Mitchell, and Adan Canto, Two Hearts tells an incredible, life-affirming story of the generosity of one young man whose gift of life continues to impact more lives daily. The film is about the lives of Leslie (Mitchell) and Jorge Bacardi (Canto) and Christopher Gregory (Elordi), and partially based on the book written by Gregory's father and the screenplay by Veronica Hool and Robin U. Russin. 2 HEARTS is a romantic journey that celebrates life, love and generosity of spirit, and will strengthen our belief that miracles still happen.
The beginnings of their love stories begin in different decades for 2 couples but their lives intersect in a way no one imagines. Chris is a young fun-loving college student who loves sports, pranks, and his new girlfriend, Sam. His future looks bright... as he searches for his purpose.
Jorge is part of a world famous company whose family immigrated to the US during the Cuban crisis. He has a life-long medical condition and was not expected to live past childhood. His continued survival has given him a deep appreciation for life. His instant attraction to a flight attendant on a business trip brings a love he never expected to experience.
Their lives should have never intersected, but when tragedy struck, a generous gesture by Chris brought the families together, always to be intertwined.
My Review: It's a good film. There is romance, tragedy, comedy, miracles, and hope. Jumping back and forth between the decades was a bit confusing for me in the beginning but I quickly caught on and became immersed in the stories. It was easy to fall in love with the main four characters while watching each couple fall in love with each other. While presented with a "based on true events and actual people" stance, I wanted to know more about the real people and circumstances.
My interest in reality, though, is my main criticism of the film. Being a person who doesn't care about spoilers and loves to research the background of non-fictional characters in movies and books, I had some, "that didn't happen" moments. So, those parts may only be problematic for people like me. BUT... the overall message of the movie is a great one and I am glad I saw the film.
