This movie starred by Zac Efron as Logan and
Taylor Schilling as Beth. Released in 2012, this is based on a novel by
Nicholas Sparks with the same title.
Logan is a US marine assigned in Iraq. After
the night raid by his platoon, he saw a photo of a smiling woman and kept it.
He also thought of it as his guardian angel since he survived from unfortunate
events.
When Logan returned to Colorado, he had a
hard time to adjust at home so he decided to leave and find the girl in the
photo to thank her. The only clue he had was the lighthouse in the photo which
happened to be located in Louisiana.
He later found the girl named Beth (Taylor
Schilling) and knew that she was married to a deputy sheriff, Keith, but they
are living separately. They had a son named Ben living with Beth.
Logan had a difficulty to tell Beth why she
was there so he tried to apply for a job in their dog training clinic but Beth
refused to hire him after knowing that Logan was a marine because she
remembered her brother Drake who died in one of their battles. However, her
grandmother, Ellie (Blythe Danner) hired him for the job.
From then on, they became close to each other
without knowing Keith started to get jealous. One night he tried to breaks into
Logan’s house and found the photo and told Beth that Logan has been stalking
her. He became angry with Beth and pushed Logan away.
As he packed his things, he saw a photo of
Drake in a chess book given to by Ben. He recognized the man as well as the
tattoo “Aces” in the forearm which made him realized that it was his brother.
Keith went to Beth’s house and asked her to
be together again as a family but she refused. Keith threatened to get Ben from
her so the boy runs to the tree house as he heard the conversation. Then a
tragedy happened. Keith died as the tree house collapsed after rescuing Ben.
Back to their home, Beth thanked Logan for
saving Ben. Logan told Beth that he was there to tell her what really happened
to Drake. They platoons’ path crossed during the night raid in Iraq. One of
Drake’s men got injured and rescued it by risking his life.
As Logan walked away, Beth, ran after him and
asked him to stay.
