Themes, sex and staying true to morals...

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2005)

A Walk to Remember is a beautiful film which stays true to Nicholas Sparks' best selling novel of the same title. I found that the themes of the movie were brilliantly exhibited. Everything does ultimately come down to who is by your side. Mandy Moore's character, Jamie Sullivan, is inspiring as she never once, through all obstacles, turns from her faith. She stays true to it and preaches the powerful word of God to all who are willing to listen. She humbles herself to those in need and wishes for nothing more than to do good. Her soft but strong character helps Landon Carter (Shane West) grow from a rebellious teen to a ambitious young man at the end of the film.
In the scene where Jamie and Landon meet at her telescope and they make a quick reference to sex, my ratings on the film boosted. I thought it was amazing that Jamie did not give in to temptation and stayed true to what she believed in. I thought the best part about this was the fact that i saw a beautiful romance movie which did not involve any sex scenes, something very rare in the world today as you can not even turn the television on without seeing sex advertised.
I believe that A Walk to Remember was a brilliant movie sure to move the hearts of anyone who truly believes in the power of love.
