A Walk To Remember
Don’t even mention cliched.
This movie’s worth 9/10, on a totally unbiased view. It was definitely worth the time spent. Yes, I do admit I’m a bit slow on this one, but you can’t deny, movies like these are classics. They are long-lasting one-show wonders, a movie that people talk about for a long time after.
Stars Mandy Moore and Shane West as leading characters, their performance was certainly the least disappointing. Make that applicable to the whole cast, for that matter. Not a star-studded cast, but the supporting actors were enough to make the movie a successful one.
As I was chatting about this movie with my friends, all of us realised the lessons to be learnt from this wonderful movie; i.e. the way to be a gentleman, the way to be more accepting, the way to treat a girl, to learn to be less guarded etc. Personally I’ve learnt many of life’s lessons, such as letting go, and just holding on to what you believe in.
The sweet factor of the movie was definitely present. In one scene, where Jamie gets teased in the cafeteria about the flyer, she turns around to leave only to get stopped short by Landon. Landon was the perfect gentleman in defending her by brushing off his friends, just for Jamie. Protection of interests, showing immense care and concern for her, the beauty of love and the wonderful little things it brings along with it.
Mandy Moore sang well as usual for the musical, though the musical was a little disappointing and not well developed. But who’s to blame? It was only halfway through the movie.
Although everyone hates a bad ending, I believe the movie provided great closure. No spoilers here, so just go watch it, borrow a DVD and you won’t regret spending the measly 20 bucks for a lifetime’s worth of experience and many of life’s lessons learnt.
Rating: 9/10
