Movies

What is a movie? A recording of moving images that tells a story and that people watch on a screen or television.  The movies are made for entertain the people and the directors try to transmit to us different emotions, for example: some movies makes us feeling sadness or happiness, afraid, and also other movies leave us thinking in a lot of things about life.  Watch movies are one of my favorite hobbies, because we can see movies in the theater and also in our house, is a moment for concentrate my mind in all the movie scenes and forget all the problems and the occupations of the day.  The comic and romantic movies are my favorites.  I love very much the movies based in the Nicholas Sparks novels, is one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. All of his books have been New York Times bestsellers, with over 97 million copies sold worldwide, in more than 50 languages, including over 65 million copies in the United States alone.  As Nicholas is my favorite writer, I decided to talk about a movie based in one of his novels called: “A Walk to Remember”.

A Walk to Remember is a movie based on a book written by Nicholas Sparks in 1999; the movie and the novel have the same name.  The protagonist of this movie is a teenager called Landon, is the most popular boy in the school and one of the biggest troublemakers. In the beginning of the movie he and his friends play a prank on a fellow student and nearly kill him and he must face the consequences. He was forced to be tutor of different children in the school, assist the janitorial staff after the school and participate in the annual school play. While attending these activities he meets Jamie Sullivan, the other protagonist. Jamie was always the object of ridicule of his friends. She is daughter of a reverend, is the typical good girl, she always has a bible with her because is very religious. Jamie uses long skirts and the same coat all the days. Throughout the story, London wants Jamie’s assistance in all the activities that he is taking part, but he also doesn't want to be seen with her at school. This changes when he acts together with Jamie in the annual school play, London kiss her and he discover that he feels something for Jamie. Surprisingly he ends falling in love with Jamie and then of have various dates, she informs him, that she has leukemia. When he discovered that she has leukemia, he tries to give her everything she had told him she wished for and he even marries her when he knows her life will be over soon. Landon changes his personality when he knows her; he said that Jamie saved his life. At the end of this story Jamie dies, and London then of a time visit Jamie's father at his house, and tells him: “I am sorry that she didn't get her miracle”, and the Jamie's father tells him: “She did, the miracle was you".  Landon was her miracle, because he made her happy in her last days, and also Jamie changed Landon’s life. I chose this movie , because is my favorite romance movie and also because the author teaches to us,  that the best decisions, the ones that matter the most in our lives, are best made by listening to your heart. London opts for listen his heart, and stays with Jamie without matter what others thought about her.
