Hi guys,
I saw ‘The Sun is Also a Star’ in the cinema yesterday, and I have to say it’s unlike any romantic comedy film I have watched before!
First of all the cinematography was STUNNING, and it showed New York as it’s not been seen before everything was photographed beautifully.
The main stars of the movie however are the two actors: Charles Melton (who people may recognise as Reggie from ‘Riverdale’) and Yara Shahidi (Zoey from ‘Black-ish’). Melton (who plays Daniel) and Yara (who plays Natasha) meet as a result of ‘fate’ as Daniel saves Natasha’s life as she nearly gets hit by a car. However, while Natasha is grateful to Daniel for saving her life, she is sceptical as he proposes an experiment to make her fall in love with him in one day.
Therefore, the rest of the movie sees Daniel and Natasha slowly fall in love, while she is struggling with the fact she may never see Daniel again as she might get deported.
This movie is not like your typical romantic comedy as the relationship happens very organically, and doesn’t have the typical ‘romantic ending’ where the characters end up happily together in love. There are many twists and turns along the way, with both characters coming from similar backgrounds, and learning about themselves.
You will get very tense towards the end as you fall in love with both the characters and the storyline and you get attached to their relationship with each other and their families.
A huge twist will happen at the end, and makes you question ‘does fate actually exist?’
I definitely recommend you watching this movie, it’s such a fantastic piece of work, and it’s nice to see Charles Melton out of his Reggie role in ‘Riverdale’! If you love both actors, you’ll love this movie.
