Perfection Personified

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2002)

Aristotle believed in perfect circles and perfect triangles that only exist in our minds. The actual representations of these perfect shapes are flawed if for no other reason than that they are man made. So although these representations are slightly flawed, they remind us of the perfect shapes or things in our minds. Even though we've never seen a perfect triangle, we know what one looks like because our mind can eliminate the flaws. The characters in this film are by no means perfect, the situations are occasionally ludicrously created to stir up emotion or so that Shane West runs into Mandy Moore in the most unlikely place. But, the attempt made was to try to put the perfect people together and watch as the magic happens. And these representations of the perfect boy/girlfriend are enough to stir up feelings and cause you to sharpen your own perfect boy/girlfriend image. A Walk to Remember is only a good movie if you open yourselves up and have faith that maybe for just 100 minutes Aristotle was wrong, and that perfection can occur.
