Who's George Strait? :), 22 March 2008
Author: (maxine@maxinesullivan.com) from Melbourne, Australia
A few years ago I picked up a DVD in a video store here in Australia called Pure Country. Hooked by the back cover's promise of a romance, and being a published romance author myself, I just couldn't resist it.
Right from the start of the movie, the first-rate songs and big production numbers sung by the handsome country star had me enthralled. Fascinated by the unfolding story, I settled back to enjoy it all. And then my husband walked in, took one look at the screen and said, "That's George Strait" and I said, "Who?" I had no idea who George Strait was. I'd never heard of him, and I'd never been a big fan of country music. "He's big in the States," my husband said, and I made a mental note to check out this George Strait on the internet after the movie was finished.
But first, the movie. To be honest George is a better singer than an actor. But putting that aside, I found myself falling in love with the plot, the characters, the songs, and the touches of humour. What woman wouldn't want to fall in love with such a handsome stranger who turned up on her ranch? And wouldn't the man who has everything but love, fall hard for the woman who saw him for himself and not as the biggest country music star in the States?
There were a couple of defining moments in the movie that really make it a wonderful romance for me. Firstly, the scene where Harley is line-dancing and sees Wyatt sitting there at the table watching her. There's also the scene where Wyatt and Harley are dancing together, and you can see they are falling in love. And that ending! I won't spoil it but you're in for a treat.
And after the movie? Yep, I went straight to the internet and looked up George Strait. Oh wow! I can't believe I'd never heard of the man before or his songs. Now I've got nearly all his CDs and I love listening to them. And whenever I listen to the Pure Country CD, I find myself remembering the movie.
Highly recommended. A keeper for me.
