A WALK TO REMEMBER

In Beaufort, North Carolina, a prank on a student goes terribly wrong and puts the student in the hospital. Landon Carter, a popular student with no defined plans for the future, is held responsible and forced to participate in after-school community service activities as punishment, which include starring as the lead in the school play. Also participating in these activities is Jamie Sullivan, the reverend's daughter who has great ambitions and nothing in common with Landon. When Landon decides he wants to take his activities seriously, he asks Jamie for help and begins to spend most of his time with her. But he starts to develop strong feelings for her, something he did not expect to do. The two start a relationship, much to the chagrin of Landon's old popular friends and Jamie's strict reverend father. But when a heart-breaking secret becomes known that puts their relationship to the test, it is then that Landon and Jamie realize the true meaning of love and fate.

---> its a very touching film as to how a couple who are worlds apart fell in love. many are not happy with their relationship but still they managed to survive despite this complexity. they have learned a lot from each other most importantly of which is that love is not selfish. i think the climax of the story is when Landon starts to fall in love with Jamie but discovers that she has a life threatening illness. from then on, the story became more dramatic, full of emotions but showed a very powerful picture of what true love is. and i guess everybody wants that so this film is a sure win to people who are inlove and to those people who are still looking for that kind of love.

::: LINES :::

JAMIE: You know what I figured out today?
LANDON: What?
JAMIE:Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel

JAMIE:You’re acting like a crazy person, what's going on?
LANDON: Right now, you're straddling the state line.
JAMIE:OK...
LANDON: You're in two places at once.

LANDON: I'm sorry she never got her miracle.
REVEREND SULLIVAN: She did. It was you.

LANDON: Jamie... I love you. [long pause]
LANDON: Now would be the time to say something.
JAMIE:I told you not to fall in love with me.

LANDON: Do you love me? [she nods]
LANDON: Will you do something for me, then?
JAMIE: [smiles] Anything.
LANDON: Will you marry me?
[Jamie smiles and kisses him]

JAMIE: I'm sick.
LANDON: I'll take you home. You'll be be...
JAMIE: No. Landon! I'm sick. I have Leukemia.
LANDON: No. You're 18. You - you're perfect.
JAMIE: No. I found out two years ago and I've stopped responding to treatments.
LANDON: So why didn't you tell me?
JAMIE: The doctor said I should go on and live life normally as best I could. I - I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
LANDON: Including me?
JAMIE: Especially you! [Jamie looks down] [Landon gets upset]
JAMIE: Ya know, I was getting along with everything fine. I accepted it, and then you happened! I do not need a reason to be angry with God.

LANDON: So, what's your number one?
JAMIE:To marry in the church my mother grew up. It's where my parents were married.

JAMIE: You don't know the first thing about being someone's friend.
LANDON: I don't want to just be your friend.
JAMIE: You don't know what you want.
LANDON: Neither do you. Maybe you're just too scared that someone might actually want to be with you.
JAMIE: And why would that scare me?
LANDON: Because then you wouldn't be able to hide behind your books, or your frickin' telescope, or your faith. No, no, you know the real reason why you're scared? It's cause you wanna be with me too.
