A Walk to Remember .....

Being together will test everything that they believe in. Most of all, it will test the power of love and faith to transform a life into something worth living.

I was night staying at a friend’s place and Each time the day I asked her about our plans for the evening, she said we would watch “A walk to remember “ ,so we start watching at around 9, And the moment the movie starts I get a sense of déjà vu ..umm actually I recalled that I have read this novel though I could not figure out the novel’s name. As the story progressed I became more and more enticed to concept of selfless love and the faith about faith got stronger J

A walk to remember is a tale of young but everlasting love which sends across the value and importance of faith so subtly. It is touching, riveting and simply amazing. More words can spoil the feeling which I have for it. It is one of those movies for which I have simply no words to describe yet, I want to express the feeling which I have.
In the original novel by Nicholas Sparks the ending is ambiguous and open ended but the movie clearly ends on a sad note. Although you desperately pined for a happier end knowing well that couldn’t have been possible. It is bittersweet but spiritual.

The story poignantly explores the innocence of first love, selflessly tied around your love where you want to hold onto whatever remnants you get. It is simply moving and declares love to be eternally powerful.
So I actually got bleary-eyed with fairy tale dreams in my eyes after watching this amazing movie.

I read this novel long back, I really don’t remember when and what was the name of the novel L but whenever somebody referred to Eric Segal’s Love Story ; I always reminded of some parts of this novel which were similar in the context that both the female protagonists had leukemia. Though I struggled hard that time to recall this novel but as fate had it I could only remember when I got a chance to watch its movie adaptation.
I do not want to blabber more on this movie; but would rather drop some conversations and my fav lines from the movie.
The plot :
Each spring in the little port town of Beaufort, North Carolina, when the wind smells of pine and salt and the sea, Landon Carter remembers his senior year at Beaufort High and Jamie Sullivan, the girl who changed his life.
Jamie was the last person Landon was likely to fall for. Serious and conservative, she was as far from cool as she could possibly be, and didn’t care. Landon hung with the in-crowd -- an aimless, moody, reckless guy who breezed through school on looks and bravado. He had no plans, no future and no faith in himself.

Against his own expectations, Landon finds himself falling in love with this outwardly plain girl who possesses a passion for life he never imagined possible. But it isn’t easy. For reasons of her own, Jamie does everything she can to run away from romance until it becomes impossible to deny.
Jamie has a small wish list. She wanted to witness Halley’s Comet. This is the most touching part of the story when he makes her a giant telescope right in her yard so that she can complete it.
He was able to complete her wish list before she died of cancer.

Conversations :
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.
********************
Landon: Jamie has faith in me. She makes me want to be different, better.
********************
Landon: All I know is... you're beautiful.
********************
Jamie: How can you see places like this... and have moments like this and not believe?

Landon: You're lucky to be so sure.

Jamie: It's like the wind. I can't... see it, but I feel it.
********************
Landon: Our love is like the wind... I can’t see it, but I sure can feel it.
********************
Landon: I'm sorry she never got her miracle.

Reverend Sullivan: She did. It was you.
********************
Landon: Can you find this star, right here?

Jamie: Sure. So why am I looking for this star?

Landon: Because I had it named for you. See? It's official. It's from the International Star Registry.

Jamie: This is wonderful...
********************
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: "Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful."
