The most touching movie ever, and that is a tough title!

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2004)

There have been 5 or 6 movies which I have seen twice in 24 hours, A WALK TO REMEMBER rushed through my iris three times in that span, astonishing. You are not able to get sentimental? - don't watch it! I like many genres, drama, historical, science fiction..., You name it. Only once before I was so touched, that I had to cry even on the day after and that was STAND BY ME. In my view everything was perfect. Really great actors fitting into their roles, the right words at the right time, not always predictable turnings. But most of all it was as good as real, I "believed" the story, I felt the love and the pain, enjoyed the humor and the even greater love afterwards. The brutal part for me is the extremely sad ending with a little touch of happiness. I once wrote a song, lining "...we had something others never ever have, a glimpse of heaven...", but after seeing this movie I don't know if I ever had that glimpse. Isn't a love so deep & pure as seen here the reason for life itself? At least it was for me and maybe I'll find it someday. May god help me.
