Recently, Blake Lively has been making headlines due to the commotion surrounding the production of her successful movie “It Ends with Us“. However, while this has been the main story causing a stir in recent news, I was delighted last night to find out that my favorite film featuring Blake Lively is currently among the top 10 on Netflix, as I was browsing through my subscription when my husband was at a game.
What are we talking about? It’s none other than “The Age of Adaline,” a delightful film released in 2015 starring Lively as a woman who doesn’t age after an accident in the early 20th century. During the era of McCarthyism, her secret is discovered by the government, causing her to live a nomadic life and avoid love for years. However, a series of fortuitous events eventually make her reconsider this solitary existence decades later.
Last night, I watched the film for the first time via streaming, as it was the sixth most popular movie in the U.S. at that time. Regardless, I found it enjoyable and don’t feel any regret about my decision. However, if you’re looking for a persuasive pitch, here’s a suggestion to help convince you.
Why The Age Of Adaline Is Worth Streaming
- We always talk about Blake Lively’s fashion sense in the context of Gossip Girl outfits, but actually The Age Of Adaline is where it’s at.
- The movie’s sentimental tone is never maudlin and is downright cheery compared to a lot of the meta comedies and “modern” romances we’ve gotten in recent years.
- Due to the lack of aging element, Ellen Burstyn plays Lively’s daughter in the film and it is delightful.
- Harrison Ford is in this time-spanning movie and he is not wielding either a whip or a blaster pistol.
- Blake Lively’s Lily Bloom character is all into flowers in It Ends With Us but I much prefer her obsession with books in this film.
Vibrant fits the role so convincingly, it’s almost unbelievable that it wasn’t initially intended for Katherine Heigl; however, this is indeed a factual account.
In simpler terms, I find that the movie “Age of Adaline” shares a similar emotional tone with how I envisioned Lily Bloom’s story in “It Ends with Us.” However, considering the intense theme of domestic abuse in Colleen Hoover’s novel, it appears there might have been some inconsistency between the image the actress aimed to project (with her floral-dressed character) and the serious subject matter that the title suggests. This discrepancy has been a point of contention, as evidenced by the separate legal complaints from Justin Baldoni and Lively herself.
It’s lovely to recall there was a less complex era and an enchanting film, “The Age of Adaline,” that you can watch anytime at your convenience. In fact, I watched it last night and had a delightful experience revisiting it. If you haven’t seen it yet, I strongly suggest giving it a try as one of Blake Lively’s finest performances. It happens to be my personal favorite.
