Review of A Walk to Remember (2002) by Jason 123 D — 27 Sep 2012
I give this film such a high score because of the following; the production value, the cinematography and the music. The film opens with a 3 minute 15 second long continuous shot, brilliantly lit and well acted.
Many people's hold up with the film is how terrible of a chick-flick this is, which I can agree with. If anything, a chick-flick is what this film is on the surface. Failing to see the underlying message will only leave resentment toward the film.
The message we're supposed to take away from this is that by loving the unlovable, by softening the hardest heart, it creates a ripple effect in which everyone around that person is affected in a positive way.
Jamie befriends and "acts Christian" as Landon says toward Landon. The result of this is that by the end of the film, Jamie's father, Landon, and the other popular Jocks at high school all become more sensitive to others; their hearts are softened.
Through this event as well, Landon and his father restore their relationship. Looking at it as an unlikely love story between two people from different social classes would be missing an absolutely incredible story underneath.
It may come across as preachy, but it's not as if you didn't know what you were getting into.
