Genre: Books/Movies Title: A Walk to Remember

A Walk to Remember is a 2002 American coming-of-age teen romantic drama 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 Lowery for Warmer Bros. The inspiration for A Walk to Remember was Nicholas Sparks' sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis, who died because of cancer in 2000. In a speech he gave after her death in Berlin, the author admits that "In many ways, Jamie Sullivan was my younger sister". The plot was inspired by her life. Danielle met a man who wanted to marry her, "even when he knew she was sick, even when he knew that she might not make it". Both the book and the film are dedicated to Danielle Sparks Lewis. It was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, at the same time that Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) and the TV show Dawson's Creek were being filmed there. 

The story is about the two teenagers who fell in love with each other unexpectedly. Landon Carter is the kind of guy who is dating every girl she wants. Certainly, the last person in town he thought he'd fall in love for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister. A simple and a quiet girl who is always carrying a Bible with her school books, Jamie seemed so content living in a world apart from other teens and not having a social life like other teens around her. She is taking care of her widowed father, helping out at the local orphanage, and rescuing hurt animals,. No boy had ever asked her out. Landon would never have dreamed of it. Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and his' life would never be the same. Being with Jamie would show him the real meaning of the human heart and it led him to a decision to be a real man.

I watched this story with my older brother in our house, after watching the movie, I became a big fan of the story like my brother. I discovered the movie because of my brother's addiction to it. Having watched the movie again and again, i tend to visualize each scenes. But, even having know what the whole story is about, I still enjoy myself watching scene after scene of the movie. I really do love how Nicholas Sparks describes each of his character, making each of them unique, yet believable. I still can't help but shed a few tears every time i watch this movie, during those moments that will move your heart(me and my brother will just laugh every time we see ourselves sniffing right in front of our television)

Every movies really has a lesson to give. And this one really made me realize that it is not wrong to believe in miracles, for miracles really exists if you will just believe.
