"You only know about me and your father. I love JACK because he is your father. But there is also a kind of love, which gives you dreams and hope, and is worth pursuing."
Love can change a person. Love someone and find a better version of yourself. This can also be regarded as the interpretation of this point of view in "Love in Rodin Island".
The heroine, who was betrayed by her husband and child, went to a resort hotel on Rodan Island to look at the house for a friend, and welcomed the only hotel guest, a hero who came to the island to visit the family of the deceased due to a medical accident. Injured, but because of a hurricane and a glass of wine, they came together and healed each other. They found themselves and dared to face their true self. In the end, the male protagonist was forgiven by his family and went to the distant clinic where his son worked to help doctors. After being forgiven by her son, the heroine also negotiated the relationship with her ex-husband, and decided to always be the parents who love their children the most, but no longer be a loving couple. The heroine's child cannot forgive him at first. The heroine faced everything in life firmly in the hero's love letter, and the smile returned to her face. The two agreed to make sacrifices for the child now, and wait until the child is older. Later, unable to hold back the emotional torment, the hero decides to come to see the heroine, but the heroine's son is standing at the door holding the relic, only to know that the hero has encountered a landslide. The son is very grateful to her for saving his father and returning him a real father. Facing this sudden bad news, the heroine was deeply saddened, especially when she saw the unsent letter that promised to give her a lifetime of love, and she had no energy to take care of the child even when she came back. His daughter became sensible at that moment. I began to take care of my younger brother, and I took the initiative to talk to my mother, and my mother said the above paragraph.
The end of the film is also wonderful. The heroine walks alone on the beach, and when she sees it in the distance, she screams in surprise. Most of the audience will think that the hero has come back alive, and the previous films have acted like that! This film is not conventional. It is a group of wild horses rushing towards the heroine. When the hero is staying in the hotel, the heroine said that there will be wild horses when introducing the surrounding environment, but maybe never; it is when the hero leaves the island. That said, Mustangs will come one day. Now, the Mustang appears, but the hero is gone forever, making the audience feel like he's back as a Mustang. The ending of the film is that the heroine brought her two children and the owner of the hotel, JEAN, to the beach to pay homage to the hero, and came to the place where they were dancing. The sea, blowing kisses deeply...
I know that from now on, the heroine will live strong with the love of the hero...

Nights in Rodanthe quotes

  • Dr. Paul Flanner: We all make choices, Adrienne. You chose that life, you chose that man. Do you even remember who you really are anymore?

    Adrienne Willis: Just stop it.

  • Dr. Paul Flanner: What keeps you safe?

    Adrienne Willis: Well, you fall in love with someone, you know... and you make a family... and you become what you think you're supposed to be. And you change and you give up certain things. Then they look at what you've got left and you wish you... I don't know, you just think maybe you shouldn't have.

    Dr. Paul Flanner: Don't.

    Dr. Paul Flanner: Just don't do it anymore.

    Adrienne Willis: ...Huh.
