Sofia Carson defends Netflix hit Purple Hearts following criticism over racist language
, director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum and star Sofia Carson have argued that they wanted to show just how different people on the left and right sides of the political spectrum are, and how that's a hurdle our main characters need to overcome.
"Why I fell in love with the movie is that it's a love story," Carson said."But it's so much more than that. It's two hearts, one red, one blue, two worlds apart, who are really raised to hate each other. "Through the power of love, they learn to lead with empathy and compassion and love each other and turn into this beautiful shade of purple. We wanted to represent both sides as accurately as possible. What I think I've learned to do as an artist is separate myself from all of that and just listen to what the world is feeling and reacting to with the film. That has been so beautifully overwhelming and so many people have felt seen or are comforted by this movie.
