"A Walk to Remember" Forever

I forgot when I first watched this film. I just remember that I cried several times when I watched the whole film. It is still stored in my computer so far, so I can't bear to delete it. The storyline of the whole film is actually very simple or even old-fashioned, but it always touches people in the details.
Landon is a bad student. At the beginning of the film, Landon and his "accomplices" tricked a freshman into jumping into the pool of a cement factory. Unexpectedly, there was a pile of waste steel pipes in the pool. As a result, the student was seriously injured. Fortunately, he escaped from prison, but Landon was sentenced to volunteer work-doing volunteer work, tutoring elementary school students and participating in the school's spring performance. So Landon and Jamie started to know each other. Jamie is the daughter of the priest in the town, a typical good girl. At first she didn't like Landon, and listed him in No.42, the people she hated. Later Landon asked her to help him practice his lines, and Jamie asked him to promise that he would not fall in love with her. But as she learned about it, Jamie found that Landon was not as bad as she thought. And Jamie's sincerity, kindness, purity and her belief in life deeply affected Landon. What impressed me the most was that Landon said seriously to his mother: "Jimmy has faith in me. She makes me wanna be different."
See the truth in crisis. Landon guarded Jamie's bed every day and built a large astronomical telescope by himself. As Jamie wanted, he saw Halley's comet with her. Towards the end of the film, Landon achieved Jamie's No. 1 (married in the church where Jamie's mother grew up and got married). As a pastor, Jamie’s father read a paragraph when he presided over the wedding. It is my favorite paragraph in this film
"Love is always patient and kind.
It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful nor conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense and is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delight in the truth.
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure... whatever comes... "
("...Love must have patience and kindness... Never jealous... If there is love, never be arrogant... Don't be rude and selfish, don't invade or be angry... I’m not happy because of my mistakes...but I’ll be happy because of the truth. Always be prepared to forgive, trust, hope, endure... whatever happens.”)
In this way, Jamie and Landon spent the most perfect summer in their lives, She is gone. Four years later, Landon practiced the determination he wrote on that little note. Although Jamie is gone, she changed Landon. "Love is like the wind. I can't see it, but feel it. "Love will always exist in Landon's heart.

  • Reverend Sullivan: "Do not be deceived. God is not mocked." Hmmm.

    [Landon walks into the Church as Reverend Sullivan is practicing his sermon]

    Reverend Sullivan: "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap..." Can I help you?

    Landon: Uh, yes, sir. I'd like to ask your daughter to dinner on Saturday night.

    Reverend Sullivan: That's not possible.

    Landon: Well... with all due respect, sir, I ask you to reconsider.

    Reverend Sullivan: With all due respect, Mr. Carter, I made my decision. You can, uh, exit the way you entered.

    Landon: Listen, I'm sorry I haven't treated Jamie the way I should've. She deserves more than that. I'm just asking you for the same thing that you teach us every day in Church. And that's faith.

    Reverend Sullivan: [Exhales deeply]
