    In the book, Jamie is super uncomfortable with wearing clothing that isn’t more conservative so I think that’s why she didn’t show her dress until the show. As well, the kiss was a surprise! It wasn’t supposed to happen. Landon was just really overcome with emotion and just decided to go for it. Jamie was actually mad at him for it because it was her first kiss!

      They changed a lot of things from the book like jamie’s dreams in the book she just wanted to get married also landon took her to homecoming and jamie originally asked him to partake in the play the flyer thing never happened and landon did not name a star after her. She never got angry at landon she just turned away and they never kissed she used to be comfortable in this kind of clothing and mostly they spent time together in the orphanage and the first scene of the movie is not in the book. Overall a lot was changed for the film adaptation I personally love the movie more because it gives jamie was more dimension than she had in the book, landon’s actions are understandable and there were things that happened because of which they fell in love it wasn’t out of the blue, plus they did a great job with the actors

      Oh absolutely. Every time I see this movie, my heart just squeezes with tenderness. How she doesn't fix him, but inspires him to become better is poignant to this day; it's what a good partner should be. But with The Notebook I'm like, "People consider this a model couple? Why? This is hella wrong."

    This is my favorite Nicholas Sparks story too. I remember in the books Jamie was so weak she had to use a wheelchair to move around towards the end because it was difficult for her to stand. That's what made her walking down the aisle the walk to remember because she endured the pain just to walk down that aisle, and I'm pretty sure she spent the rest of the ceremony sitting down.

    A Walk To Remember brings back so many childhood memories for me. It’s just that my mother used to watch this movie a whole lot way back in the day. Because of that, this movie still lives in my mind, rent-free. How incredible. I can’t believe it’s almost been 20 years since this movie was first released. Now I feel so old. Despite being only 20 years old.

  • @DibIrken

    The thing about the movies that came after A Walk To Remember with a theme of the protagonist slowly dying is that they make the terminal illness the central theme that drives the movie. The thing I love about this movie is that they deliberately hid that detail from us. It is not even higlighted in the first half of the movie. I remember the promotional trailers then for this movie didn't even give away that major plot point of Jamie's illness because they want the audience to be shocked by the reveal.
    I also like how they don't highlight Jamie as this terminally ill person. We fell in love with Jamie because of her dreams, ambition and talent. We fell in love with Landon for his redemption arc. We also like how the minor characters evolved in their own little way. Beautiful direction and writing. This is the best tragic love story for me. Ironically, this movie should have ended on a sad note but that monologue from Landon at the end made me smile.
    "But our love is like the wind. I can't see it but I can feel it."

    Thank you so much for reacting to this! I love this movie so deeply and I literally sob every time. That ending line “Our love is like the wind, I can’t see it. But I can feel it.” Never fails to make me sob.
    And I love your reflection at the end. I think some people just take this movie at face value and see it as just another chic flic. But it has so much more meaning and truly depicts a beautiful story of young love. And showing how men can be emotionally mature and grow.
    And I agree this definitely is the best Nicholas Spark movie adaption. But I also think The Last Song, Dear John, and the Notebook are right behind it. Thank you so much for watching it and can’t wait for the next video 💕

I love that the book is a tribute to Nicholas Sparks sister who passed just after the release of the book. He gave her a copy of the book but she never read it, she didn't want to know the ending. His sister was Jamie Sullivan . Thank you and well done.

    So with the play, i don't think it really has a plot in the movie. In the book it did tho, it was written by Jamie's father and was a Christmas play about his own struggles with being a father and overcoming them from what I remember, though it's been years since I read it, just going off memory.

    • @amphitritemists4595
      @amphitritemists4595 3 роки тому +2

      Yes. From what I remember, the play in the book was about a man who lost his wife. When he was at his lowest, an angel appears and teaches him that he still has his daughter so he didn't lose everything. But I feel like they made up an extremely different script in the movie cause with the dialogue they kept using I just don't know how it fits

Betty Sue, that delicate damsel, a simple waitress in that old western play we put on at the retirement home all those years ago. But, Steph is reading this comment and definitely wondering 2 things. First, is this Derek guy on drugs, or commenting from a psychiatric clinic? Second, does he know where I am, or how to find me? LOL. I'm leaving this lengthy comment, because Stephanie doesn't know who I am yet. However, knowing what I know about her, she may currently be getting the spandex, or the leather jacket.

I didn't watch it again for a long time but it's grown on me since but still such a disappointment!
