Today’s topic is A Walk to Remember, this is an old but classic film produced in 2007. I believe it is one of the most meaningful films I’ve watched these years. I have to say “Oh, my god’s pretty daughter, I love it like crazy!”. So I’m super glad to share it with you guys here.
According to Wikipedia:
A Walk to Remember is a 2002 romance film based on the 1999 romance novel with the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The movie stars pop singer Mandy Moore and Shane West. The movie was directed by Adam Shankman and produced by Denise DiNovi and Hunt Lowry for Warner Bros.. The novel, written by Sparks, is set in the 1950s while the film is set in present day.
This is a romance film, and the story is not complicated, but it is really touching. I’m not shy to tell you that I was crying when I watched it. Yeah, it is worth my tears.
Here is the plot: Each spring in the little port town of Beaufort, North Carolina, when the wind smells of pine and salt and the sea, Landon Carter remembers his senior year at Beaufort High and Jamie Sullivan, the girl who changed his life… Serious and conservative, Jamie is the daughter of the town’s Baptist minister and not afraid of letting people know that her faith is the most important part of her life, even if it cost her some friends. After a harmless prank goes terribly wrong, Landon is forced to tutor a young student at a poor school and participate in the Drama Club’s spring play – two activities the principal hopes will teach him some humility. They also happen to throw him into close contact with Jamie. Clearly in over his head, Landon is forced to ask her for help. Soon, against his own expectations, Landon finds himself falling in love with this outwardly plain girl who possesses a passion for life he never imagined possible.
You see? A touching love story, if you are not touched by it, I have to say you are a rock.
Love is like the wind. You cannot see it but you can always feel it. This is what we can learn from A Walk to Remember . It is also the tagline of this film. Very poetic, right?
