A Walk to Remember
Based on the novel, which has a same title "a walk to remember" with Nicholas Sparks as the author ♥
SYNOPSIS :
After a hazing incident goes wrong, popular but rebellious Landon Carter (
Shane West) is threatened with expulsion. His punishment is participation in various after-school activities, including the spring musical, where he meets quiet, bookish Jamie Sullivan (
Mandy Moore), the only daughter of their church's pastor, (
Peter Coyote). Landon has difficulty learning his lines, so asks Jamie to assist him. She decides to help him but under one condition: Landon must promise not to fall in love with her.
Landon and Jamie begin practicing together at her house after school. As they spend more time together, a friendship begins to develop. Landon discovers Jamie’s wishlist of everything she aspires to accomplish in life, which includes befriending someone she doesn't like, getting a
tattoo, being in two different places at once, and making a
telescope. However, she doesn't tell him her number one wish. One day, Jamie approaches Landon when he is hanging out with some of his friends. When Jamie asks if they are still on for practice that afternoon, he smirks and replies, "In your dreams". His friends laugh, and Landon's smirk falters as Jamie feels betrayed and embarrassed. That afternoon, Landon arrives at Jamie's house in the hope that she will still agree to help him, but she refuses to let him in. Landon eventually learns the script by himself.
In the following days, Landon tries to get close to Jamie, but she repeatedly rejects him. The breaking point comes when a few of Landon's so-called friends play a malicious joke on Jamie (The prank consisted of a photoedit of Jamie's face onto an almost pornographic image and its distribution). She is about to cry in the middle of the cafeteria when Landon comes to her aid, punching one of his now ex-friends and apologizing to Jamie while comforting her (which she accepts), calling them "animals".
In his car at her house, he asks her out to dinner, but she replies that she is not allowed to date. He goes to her father in the church and asks him for permission. He begrudgingly agrees, and Landon takes her out to dinner. From that night forward, the two begin to fall in love, as Landon helps her accomplish things on her wish list. For example, he takes her to the state line, where she is "in two places at once," and gives her a temporary tattoo of a butterfly. He later has a star named after her, and learns that her number one wish is to marry in the church where her parents were married.
As their relationship grows, Jamie finally reveals to Landon that she has leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. He is initially upset, but she says that the reason why she didn't tell him was because she was moving on with her life and using the time she had left. Jamie starts to break down as she says, "I do not need a reason to be angry with God" and runs away.
Eric (
Al Thompson), who was Landon's best friend, but had also participated in the prank on Jamie, comes by and tells him how sorry he is and that he hadn't understood. Landon leaves dozens of flowers on Jamie's doorstep and asks her father to tell her that he's "not going anywhere". The pair makes up soon after.
Jamie's cancer gets worse until she collapses one day. Her father rushes her to the hospital where he meets Landon. The next day, Landon comes to the hospital and sees Jamie being wheeled out of the ward. He asks what's going on and she replies by asking him to thank his father for the help. Apparently Landon's father arranged to pay for private home care for Jamie.
Landon continues to fulfill various wishes on Jamie's list, including building her telescope. Her father, who now approves of him, helps out. After Jamie sees the comet through the telescope, Landon proposes and Jamie accepts. They marry in the church where her parents were married. With the wedding, Landon has completed everything on Jamie’s wishlist. She then dies months after their wedding.
Four years later, Landon visits Jamie's father and tells him he has finished college and has been accepted into medical school. He then gives Jamie's father a book that Jamie had given to him. He tells her father that he is sorry he could not grant Jamie's ambition to witness a miracle before she died. Her father replies that Jamie
did see a miracle. "It was you," he says with a fatherly smile.
In the end, Landon remarks that Jamie not only saved his life — she taught him everything about life, hope, faith and the long journey ahead. He ends his monologue by saying that Jamie and his love is like the wind. "I can't see it, but I can feel it."
