Actor Sofia Carson and director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum are defending Purple Hearts against viewer complaints that their romance film is “military propaganda”.
In the Netflix film, Carson plays a liberal musician named Cassie who enters into a sham marriage with a politically conservative marine named Luke (Nicholas Galitzine) in order to enrol in a military health insurance programme that will enable her to afford treatment for her diabetes. The marriage also entitles Luke to new tax benefits.
