Sparks is on fire (DVD)

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2005)

This my second unintentional adaptation of this writer. After the wonderful "Walk to remember", it is a confirmation of his talent for true love story...
The key of the movie is so true that every body will recognize its simplicity of genius: Lovers write the story of the passion to leave a testimony against the time and their loss of memory (a bit like my motivation behind my IMDb reviews...) If the idea is brilliant, remain for a movie to find the best actors and a real chemistry between them. For that, the cast is excellent. The young couple is unknown people (but future breakout...) whereas the old couple is Hollywood stars. It is one of few movies where i can find the same intensity & passion in same characters played by different people. And if there are "clichés" or "deja-vu" situations, they appear close to truth...
So, as in "Walk to remember", you just follow those incredible characters in their so simple and so moving story. When the guy asks what the girl does for herself, for freedom, well, this is for me like he has touched the very sense of life...
As the locations and the reconstitution of the 40's are opulent, there's absolutely nothing wrong in this movie.
So, make you a moment of freedom: watch this movie, go read a Sparks' novel and write the story of your love for your soul-mate....
