Movie Sypnosis
I first saw this movie when I was in high school. The movie was a very inspirational movie about love and death. It started when Landon Carter (Shane West) a member of popular but troubled undirected group get busted and in punishment he has to do community service activities which include the high school's spring play where the young and beautiful daughter of a minister Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) is also a part of the play. The truth of the matter is Landon can not act so he acquire the help of Jamie. They grow hesitantly closer than their previous adversarial relationship as old bonds. Landon somehow falls in love with the beautiful ministers daughter. Abandoning his friends to be with her and Landon shares true love with Jamie. But a heart breaking secret lies the couple. Jamie finally tells Landon that she has terminal leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. Landon gets upset at first. Jamie tells him the reason why she didn't tell him because she was moving on with her life and using the time she left but then Landon happened and she fell in love with him. Landon continues to fulfill various wishes on Jamie's list, such as building her a telescope so she can see a comet. Through this process, Landon and Jamie learn more about the nature of love. The movie ends with Jamie's death, but only after the couple are married in the same chapel as was Jamie's deceased mother, the event that topped Jamie's wish list. Landon himself becomes a better person through Jamie's memory, achieving the goals that he set out to do, like she did. Four years later and Landon visits Jamie's father. It is obvious that Jamie helped him to focus and become a better person. For example, he reveals he has finished college and been accepted to medical school; prior to meeting her he had no plans for life after high school. He tells Jamie's father that he is sorry he could not grant Jamie's wish to witness "a miracle" before she died. Her father says "She did. It was you".
My Opinion:
I love the movie it inspire me a lot. It tells us that it is never to late for change. That miracles in life do happen. Just like what happened to Landon and Jamie's love story. Jamie wants to see a miracle in her life and it happened when she met and fell in love with Landon. Landon has no plans in life he just want to have fun. But when he met Jamie and fell in love with her his life changes. Their life changed. Jamie lived her life to the fullest with Landon. Landon lived his life to fulfill Jamie's last wishes. The film was great it tells that love can change every persons' vision in life and it's reaction towards death. But i think it would be better if the movie end with Jamie leaving a child for Landon.
