Absolutely Inspiring

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2007)

I first read "A Walk to Remember" when I was 12 years old. Then, a few days after I had finished it (and spent 2 hours crying my eyes out) I heard there was a movie. I absolutely refused to see it. I have had plenty of experience with books made into movies. They always turn out completely horrible- and they never follow the book.
Well, I stubbornly held out for about a year. Then I finally watched it. I cried. It is an absolutely amazing movie. Yes, I realize that it is not like the book at all, but still. But, just so I can get my argument out there, I made a list of the ways it could be better and another one of things that I liked about the movie.
THINGS THAT COULD BE CHANGED -Jamie's hair should be blond. -They should have actually included the orphanage scene. -Jamie should be an angel in the play. (Well, I know it says she is, but she doesn't LOOK like an angel. At least not in the way the book said she would.) -They should have included the part where Jamie's raising money for the orphanage. -Landon and Jamie should actually go for a WALK. -Jamie's family is supposed to be poor. As in, she should not have a big grand house. -Jamie's sweater is supposed to be brown.
THINGS THAT I LIKED -They way that they included the fact that Jamie really inspired Landon. -The wedding scene. -The dinner scene. -The hospital scene. (Even though that when I started bawling, it was really moving and completely inspirational.)
And I know I liked a whole lot more about the movie, but if I listed it all here, then, well, I would Definitely run out of room.
