A Walk to Remember (2002)

I´m writing this feeling like I have not enough words to describe how amazing and beautiful this movie is. I first watched it when I was 16 or so and I loved it and it was always in the back of my mind and I kept thinking that I had to watch it again someday and I did, a couple days ago, at 21 and I felt it in such a strong and powerful way that I didn´t at 16. I cried so much it actually hurt. I can´t get over how pure of a movie it is, how beautiful and effortless. I absolutely fell in love with the natural amazing chemistry these two have and how real it all seems, so real it´s hard to remember it´s just a movie and it shouldn´t hurt as bad. It´s difficult for me because it´s possibly my favourite movie and I can´t watch it that often because it´s too sad but so beautiful I keep watching some scenes here and there. For me it´s the best romantic movie, no matter what anyone says. I´ve watched a lot of movies and there is not a movie that´s had suck an impact in my life. It just feels different from everything else. There is not a soul with love inside of them who isn´t compelled to cry. I don´t cry that easily with movies but there is no way you won´t cry watching this. I guess the vulnerability I now have that I didn´t at 16 helps making this movie so painful to watch but I don´t care. It´s perfection on the big screen and I can´t get enough of it. The world needs movies like this. Devoid of malice, just a pure representation of the true meaning of love. I desperately want a love like that and I want to love and be loved like I´m in a movie. This movie has an eternal hold of mt heart and my soul.

I have seen certain comments that put equality between this film and "One Give". All parameters are on the side of this movie. First, the concept of the whole story is brilliant. Secondly, the whole stream of the film deals with the monitoring of two young people, a guy who is extremely problematic and a girl who is a person for the case. This film shows that it is possible that the "bad" guy for love changes and shows how much for real love there are no limits. The movie is easy to watch, it fills. The film "Give it" gave me the grade 7. This certainly deserves 8. What is "flawed" is that these stories are too screened with the subject and the viewers will not see much of the new one.8/10

I just read a couple of the bad reviews of the people that "hated" this movie and I'm complety shocked and I just had to write my review. The first time I watched this movie, I was maybe 12-13 years old and since then I have watched it countless times and I've still stayed memorized by this movie to this day. I am a 26 year old female and this movie is on my top 3 list of favorite movies. I admit that there are a few flaws in this movie like the fact everything happens so fast. First, out of the blue - Landon asks Jamie to help him with his lines even though up to that point, he ignored her and made fun of her. There's probably somebody else he can ask for help, but it just had to be Jamie - the girl that's just the complete opposite of everything he is and does.Second - just after spending a little bit of time with her, he realizes that he loves and he's willing to fight with his friends and not speak to them because of her (even thought I applaud the way he stood up for her in the cafeteria when he punched his friend for sending half-naked pictures of Jamie around school). And third - barely legal, Landon proposes to Jamie even though she's going to die. I mean, I understand that he loves her so much that he wants to make all her wishes come true and help her fulfil her "list" but marriage just out of high school?! Not that believable. I mean this isn't some third-world country where you get married at the age of 12. But in-spite of the few flaws this movie has, it has so many more amazing things about it. I loved that Landon asks Jamie's father if could take her out after Jamie told him that she wasn't allowed to date. I loved the way he helped her fulfil her list by taking her to the border and showing her that she can be in two places at once or giving her a sticker-tattoo..just simplifying everything and making her realize that things aren't as hard as she may have made them out to be. Maybe somebody will say that this movie is corny and lame and a cliché and maybe it is but that fact that this movie shows that complete transformation of a young bad-boy who doesn't care about anything or anybody up until he his in close range with a girl he's known his entire life, but never befriended. She shows him the simplicity of life. The believing in God. The goodness a person can have inside them in-spite of the bad that others throw at them. This movie mesmerized me because you see a young boy transforming into a grown young man just by befriending a girl that's different from him. She shows him all the simple, beautiful things in life and you realize that one person can make a difference in someone's life. What would have happen to Landon if he never befriended Jamie? Would he have made up with his father? Would he have gone to college or gotten into medical school?!I highly recommend this movie.

Such a romantic movie, I was amazingly happy to share with my students, the movie is so authentic that explore the limits of love in all its forms, the respect for family, the love that changes a person, the love for your own goals and dreams, miracles may happen in different ways and it is up to us to be able to see it. Hope I could share my feelings towards that with my friends and hope they keep it real for their personal dreams and desires, everybody deserves to witness a miracle.
