A Walk To Remember is a 2002 American romance film based on the 1999 romance novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The film stars Shane West and Mandy Moore, was directed by Adam Shankman, and produced by Denise Di Novi and Hunt Lowry for Warner Bros. The novel, written by Sparks, is set in the 1950s while the film is set in 1998.

This is my favorite movie, although I watched it so many times and already know the story and what will happen I just don’t get bored at it. Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), is a weird student and she always an eye catcher for everyone. She always wore long dresses unlike others who wore shorts and good dresses. She was the daughter of town’s reverend (Peter Cayote). She lived with her father because her mother died after giving birth with her. She’s a religious girl, sweet and kind daughter. Landon Carter (Shane West), a hardheaded student, loves to drink even they have a classes; he likes in the crowd and be wild. Landon Carter was punished and he needs the help of Jamie Sullivan. Jamie helped her but she told to Landon to not fall for her. But it was too late, Landon fell inlove with her. Then Jamie told to Landon that she was dying and that’s true. Jamie has leukemia and she was dying but Landon loves her so much and they got married. After 2 seasons Jamie died.

This story is a heartfelt story. Mandy Moore and Shane West did their job good. This will catched your attention and make sure that you will cry until the end. It was full of emotion and love. As I watched it, I can’t see myself if I were in her case. She still say yes to get married even though she’s dying. She’s a strong woman; she has a lot of faith. She always read the bible though Landon doesn’t like it. But at the end of the story, Landon learns how to read a bible. Landon is a brave man too. He married a woman who was dying, it shows that she really love Jamie. Reverend Sullivan married the two and then by 2 seasons Jamie died. As I quote from the movie, “Love is like the wind, you can feel it but you cannot see it.”
