Nicholas Sparks is attached will guarantee an increase in the stock value of Kleenex.\u00a0\u00a0 A world class novelist, the mere mention of some of his most cherished works, \u201cThe Notebook\u201d, \u201cDear John\u201d, \u201cMessage in a Bottle\u201d, \u201cNights in Rodanthe\u201d and \u201cThe Wedding\u201d, bring tears to the eyes on recalling the indelible and deep emotion of the stories, the characters and the film adaptations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And now, not only does Sparks give us another emotional heartwrencher with THE LAST SONG, but does so by making this not only his first screenplay, but the first time the screenplay has preceded the writing of his actual novel.<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie Miller is your average American teenager but with a slightly dark, bad edge.\u00a0 The product of a broken home, Ronnie lives in Manhattan with her mother and younger brother.\u00a0 Using her parents\u2019 divorce as an excuse for her bad attitude and bad behavior, which includes shoplifting violations, Ronnie proves a handful for her mother.\u00a0 Her brother, Jonah, is also a challenge thanks to his penchant for precociousness.\u00a0 But with summer vacation in full swing, mom decides it time for Ronnie and Jonah to spend some time with their father at his seaside home in Georgia.\u00a0 Jonah is all for the vacay with Dad.\u00a0 Ronnie on the other hand greets the trip and her father with more anger and hatred than a trip to the dentist.\u00a0\u00a0 Miserable to a fault, it\u2019s clear that Ronnie intends to do everything she can to aggravate and ignore her father.<\/p>\n<p>But, surprise, surprise.\u00a0 Things aren\u2019t all that bad in this quaint little town by the sea.\u00a0\u00a0 There are carnivals and boardwalks, street vendors on the beach, sea turtles that need protection, teens her own age, a gorgeous hunk of a guy named Will.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For Jonah, there\u2019s also plenty to do as he becomes his father\u2019s right hand man in making a stained glass window for the local church which had been destroyed in a fire.<\/p>\n<p>As summer unfolds, life not in the fast lane begins to take hold of Ronnie, as does Will.\u00a0 An animal activist, Ronnie assumes the responsibility of saving a nest of sea turtle eggs, showing a caring nurturing side of herself that obviously spawns from her own feeling of abandonment by her father.\u00a0 And as it turns out, Will works at the local aquarium with animal preservation, giving the two a basis to start their own somewhat rocky romance dance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Days go by and life gets better and brighter for Ronnie, who even starts happily spending some time with her dad (in between that with Will, of course).\u00a0 But, as to be expected, that happiness is to be short lived.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6497\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182340-203x300.jpg\"

must say, this is a Miley we haven\u2019t seen before.\u00a0 Gone is the Hannah Montana blonde wig and pink color palette (According to Cyrus, \u201cone [wig] will be in a museum and one will be burned\u201d).\u00a0 Before us is a Cyrus with a new maturity and a slightly deeper emotional layer.\u00a0 She totally surprised me.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s wonderful to see her act with someone playing her parent rather than her own father.\u00a0 Her interactions with Greg Kinnear are wonderfully honest and true.\u00a0\u00a0 She holds her own with more difficult material, buoyed by veterans like Kinnear and Kelly Preston.\u00a0 However, she needs to work a little more on her emotional depth when it comes to sadness and welling up those tears (I think she could take lessons from many of us who were watching the film), but in terms of being a moody, conflicted teen at odds with dad, finding a first love, struggling to find her own voice and herself, and facing loss, she was right on point.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYou have to go deeper than [crying] and realize what it\u2019s going to be like when you are watching an hour and a half film. You don\u2019t just want to see one type of emotion. You want to see her getting through it, putting up her guard and trying to have strength.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 And while the character doesn\u2019t focus on singing or performing, an important part of Ronnie is the fact she is a child prodigy piano player, which also serves as the common bond with her father.\u00a0 Requiring Cyrus to take \u201ctwo piano lessons\u201d, she describes her playing as \u201cstarted out kind of messy, but I got better and better. By the end of the movie, I think I actually had the song down.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Beyond the music, the key to her identification with Ronnie were the animals.\u00a0 \u201cThe animals were really cool. There were things that were a little bit of me within the character, but it was also really different but I think the music was probably the main thing that I related to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Making his feature film debut as Will is another hunk from Down Under, Liam Hemsworth.\u00a0 A former soap actor in Australia,\u00a0 Hemsworth had no fears about making the leap to the big screen &#8211; or working with Cyrus.\u00a0 His greatest fear and challenge , however, was the fact that Will is an outstanding beach volleyball player.\u00a0 \u201cVolleyball was the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever had to do. Before we started shooting, they asked me, \u2018Do you play volleyball?,\u2019 and I said, \u2018Yeah, no problem.\u2019 And, I turned up for the first day of volleyball practice and I was honestly really scared to shoot the volleyball part because it takes a lot of skills to play that game and I didn\u2019t have them, at all.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Strong and commanding in his own right, he has a lightness and ease dealing with strong emotional material.\u00a0 One of the wonderful aspects of THE LAST SONG is watching the undeniable chemistry develop between Hemsworth and Cyrus. Paired with Cyrus, their relationship is beyond believable, something that has since played out in real life for them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6498\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182412-400x262.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_182412\" width=\"400\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182412-400x262.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182412-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182412.jpg 642w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Bobby Coleman\u2019s performance as Jonah, be aware that he steals every scene from everyone.\u00a0 His comedic timing is perfect. His emotions are pure. His reactions emotionally driven.\u00a0\u00a0 And Greg Kinnear , what\u2019s not to love about him.\u00a0 As Steve Miller he brings genuine heartfelt emotion to the role and the project as a whole.\u00a0 His performance is glorious.\u00a0 And he also not only learned to play the piano, but learned the art of stained glass.<\/p>\n<p>As comes as no surprise, Nicholas Sparks hits another emotional homerun with THE LAST SONG.\u00a0 Personally, I believe this is his best work.\u00a0\u00a0 Beautifully bittersweet and tender, Sparks calls on events that have transformed his own life.\u00a0 Never ceasing to amaze me with his passion and depth of feeling, with THE LAST SONG he faced a new challenge.\u00a0 \u201cThe main challenge of Ronnie\u2019s character was not being a 17 year old girl.\u00a0 That I can do.\u00a0 It was being an angry 17 year old girl and yet you had to make her likeable.\u00a0 Otherwise you can\u2019t go 20 minutes into a movie.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t like the character, you\u2019re not going to watch the movie.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t like the character in the book, you\u2019re not going to finish reading it.\u00a0 So, how do you make her be angry and yet, show these touches of humanity so that you say, \u2018yeah, you\u2019re still pretty good underneath.\u2019\u00a0 She doesn\u2019t drink.\u00a0 She\u2019s not necessarily friendly to her father but she comes him.\u00a0 She\u2019s really nice to her younger brother.\u00a0 You try to show these flashes of humanity.\u00a0 It\u2019s more of a veneer.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Interestingly, for the novel, the hardest character to write was Steve.\u00a0 \u201cSteve is a very passive character and I\u2019m not a passive person.\u00a0 He was a very challenging character.\u00a0 And then again, of course, he had to have his own journey which he was working through.\u201d\u00a0 Adding layers to the story are multiple integral subplots and environmental issues that are key to emotional plot\u00a0 development.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6501\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182618-400x268.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_182618\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182618-400x268.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182618-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182618.jpg 643w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After speaking with her at length, Julie Ann Robinson is definitely on my radar as a director to watch.\u00a0 Her passion and joy for the filmmaking process and storytelling is uplifting.\u00a0\u00a0 Making her feature debut, her direction is fluid and steady, running at an easy pace. Although when tapped for the assignment Sparks had yet to complete the script,\u00a0 \u201cI think I had a very clear vision for the movie that I wanted to make.\u00a0 I was very supported by the execs at Disney.\u00a0 They wanted me to bring that indie film, edgy sensibility to the film.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Working hand in hand with cinematographer John Lindley, Robinson\u2019s use of long shots and wide shots goes far in helping to further Sparks\u2019 emotional tone of the story.\u00a0\u00a0 Encouraged by producer Adam Shankman to \u201cgive a sense of space to the movie\u201d, \u201cI wanted to place emotions in the context of the island and make [characters] feel lost and alone\u201d, particularly with one scene involving Jonah staring out at the water which for Robinson \u201cis one of my favorite shots.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cI try to tell a story with the camera as well as telling a story with the actors\u201d as is evidenced with the breathtaking calm of the eddys, rivers and lakes balanced against the fury of the ocean, all analogous to the emotion of the story. And Lindley\u2019s cinematography is absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6500\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182600-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_182600\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182600-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182600-300x430.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182600.jpg 637w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Difficult enough for seasoned veterans, Robinson also faced environmental challenges with THE LAST SONG.\u00a0 Shot on the exquisite Tybee Island off the Georgia coast, the coastline is environmentally protected which means caution at every turn for a filmmaker.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cAs a community of filmmakers we wanted to be respectful of the island as much as we could.\u00a0 Every time we wanted to walk on a dune we would have to get permission from the Agency and sometimes we would have to make pathways through the dune.\u00a0 Those are protected areas.\u00a0 We even built our own dunes which helped with camera angles.\u201d\u00a0 So perfect in their environmental creation, the dunes were permitted to remain as part of the natural terrain after filming.\u00a0\u00a0 An added difficulty was the weather. \u201cThe thunderstorms and tropical rainstorms we were contending with almost every day near the end.\u00a0 Then jellyfish in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Robinson can also add the title of \u201cturtle wrangler\u201d to her resume with this shoot.\u00a0 \u201cNobody thought we could do it. We had a turtle wrangler named Mark who said \u2018Julie Ann, I can bring you some baby turtles so you can shoot the scene.\u2019\u00a0 Everybody was skeptical, from people back at Disney, my First AD, the producer.\u00a0 \u2018Oh, we\u2019re going to have to CGI these turtles.\u2019\u00a0 On this one day, we got a call from Mark, \u2018We\u2019ve got the baby turtles.\u00a0 You can shoot with the baby turtles.\u2019\u00a0 I so much wanted them to be the real turtles so you could have a real emotional reaction from the actors to seeing these little guys.\u00a0 It was tricky to shoot because the turtles only go into the ocean at nighttime.\u00a0 We had to shoot at dusk so we only had a 15 minute window to shoot.\u00a0 We shot over four nights.\u00a0 The turtles are preprogrammed to walk towards the water.\u00a0 And we weren\u2019t allowed to have any artificial light on the turtles because they are attracted by the glinting lights of the ocean.\u00a0 In terms of filmmaking it was a tricky exercise.\u00a0 The turtles would agree to do probably only 3 takes and then we would scoop them all up and then put them in the ocean ourselves.\u00a0 It was so moving.\u00a0 And then Miley jumped in the ocean with her whole dress on because she was so overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6499\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182527-400x298.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_182527\" width=\"400\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182527-400x298.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182527-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2010-04-02_182527.jpg 637w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A story of life, death, transition, growth and above all, love of family, it is impossible not to be swept into the emotion and heart of THE LAST SONG.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And may I say right now ladies &#8211; and guys &#8211; before you walk into the theater, have boxes of tissues in hand and waterproof mascara in place.<\/p>\n<p>Ronnie Miller &#8211; Miley Cyrus<\/p>\n<p>Steve Miller &#8211; Greg Kinnear<\/p>\n<p>Will Blakelee &#8211; Liam Hemsworth<\/p>\n<p>Jonah Miller &#8211; Bobby Coleman<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Julie Ann Robinson.\u00a0 Written by Nicholas Sparks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias I should know by now that anything to which Nicholas Sparks is attached will guarantee an increase in the stock value of Kleenex.\u00a0\u00a0 A world class novelist, the mere mention of some of his most cherished works, \u201cThe Notebook\u201d, \u201cDear John\u201d, \u201cMessage in a Bottle\u201d, \u201cNights in Rodanthe\u201d and \u201cThe Wedding\u201d, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6497,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[954],"class_list":["post-6493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews","tag-the-last-song"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
