Greg Mortenson, on his failed attempt to reach the peak of K2 (The second highest mountain in the world) wanders into a remote region in Pakistan. Weak from hunger and loneliness, he reaches an impoverished village, where he is nursed back to good health. During his stay in the village, he realizes that one thing that is completely lacking there is schools for the children. His life's mission changes from scaling peaks to building schools for these children. How he raises money, co-ordinates the work and helps establish over 78 schools is what this true story is all about.
Nights in RodantheEarlier in this blog, I had mentioned about the book by the same name, author - Nicholas Sparks. The movie did not have great reviews, but I wanted to watch it for Richard Gere.
Richard Gere - Oh my! what can I say - that face, those eyes, that smile and of course the acting .
"One Look at him and your heart just melts away" quote-unquote :)
Both Diane Lane and Richard Gere have given brilliant performances in the movie. They were just perfect for the roles. I also loved the shots of North Carolina especially the beach-side inn - just mind-blowing.
Love Remains the Same
From the OST of Nights in Rodanthe, by Gavin Rossdale. This is my song for this week.
So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me now
We shall overcome
So all that's left is praying
But we, should have had the sun
We could have been inside
Instead we're over here
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending
