A movie to remember.

.A walk to remember. You may not believe me, but it was my first time to watch the movie last night. Yup. I know… I know… I’m so late and all.. yet, I had found myself caught up with the story..  I was near crying… 

 Tell you frankly, the reason why I haven’t watched that movie was because I was scared (yeah scared) to fall under the spell of ‘drama movies’.. they never fail to meet their purpose, which I believe is to make you all ‘touchy,’ ’soft’ or sensitive.. Positive comments have I heard of this movie way back then.. but I guess I wasn’t that too mature to understand the difference between a movie that gives you an impression that would last  and a movie that would make you laugh, throw off ’silly cliches’ and make you blush for a while and which would make you say, “that was good,” A walk to remember was a movie, if I would exaggerate, would be a work of art, magnificent and a briliant concept. 

 Going to the story.. I guess there are a lot of similarities that we could see in other movies,.. How the ‘cool guy’ suddenly falls for the ‘geeky girl’ and then.. a uncurable disease makes the movie end with tragedy.. hmm.. this movie is different though, it ends with the viewer smiling.. The ending wasn’t really an ‘end’.. I consider it as the beginning of the journey of Landon.. 

Landon.. I wish there were more men like him.. (haha.. seriously).. The movie was a portrayal of ‘pure love’ as they say. It was not showy..not aggressive.. it was something which intentions were to suffice each other.. It seemed like a perfect fairytale. the only problem is, the princess dies at the end.. and the prince stays.. still happily-ever-after.. Few people would actually do what Landon did. 4 years,still he clings to Jamie. I don’t know if it is a good or bad thing to not let go. but I suppose if that person who you’re still holding on to, is someone who gives you inspiration, then continue on.. 

You are the miracle. That phrase was the most catchy phrase I have heard in the movie. We don’t realize that our mere presence brings life, it gives meaning to the few weeks or months given for one to live. You make that person special by the way you stay beside her, how you always make sure to be there for her when she feels doubting. Another phrase I like was when Landon asked Jaime if she was afraid of death.. and Jaime answered she was afraid of not being with him. Both of the characters were strong.. they didn’t dwell on the fact that Jaime was going to die.. they have chosen to live like there’s nothing coming there way.. I just wonder if they really intended to not say ’till death us part’ in their wedding vows.. it’s too much hurting.. and even I can’t handle watching it… tears..

 This is by far, one of the greatest drama I have seen in my entire life. Though, I did really wish that Jaime could have been healed .  But,  I guess that’s how the story goes..
