    Ok so after re watching my own video I realized I did miss the concept of her being sick. The movie was “accelerated” because her time was limited. I completely missed that part creating my own movie in my mind 🤦🏾‍♂️
    This why ya won’t subscribe to me 😂 I know. I understand. I really had to watch my own commentary to get it. This is soooo tragic y’all. I take back the whole this doesn’t happen in real life statement.
    Thanks for watching tho! I love you all ❤️

    Not sure if this has already been commented, but for those who are not aware, the title is based off a line from the book. In the book Jamie is in way worse shape on the day of her wedding, she is in a wheelchair right up to the moment she is suppose to walk down the aisle. In the book, Landon's thoughts,
    "The doors opened and I saw Jamie, seated in her wheelchair, a nurse by her side. With all the strength she had left, Jamie stood shakily as her father supported her. Then Jamie and Hegbert slowly made their way down the aisle, while everyone in the church sat silently in wonder. Halfway down the aisle, Jamie suddenly seemed to tire, and they stopped while she caught her breath. Her eyes closed, and for a moment I didn't think she could go on. I know that no more than ten or twelve seconds elapsed, but it seemed much longer, and finally she nodded slightly. With that, Jamie and Hegbert started moving again, and I felt my heart surge with pride. It was, I remember thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember."
    Sorry about the length but I felt anyone who reads this should have the backstory of how much she actually struggled to get down the aisle.

      What?! I had no idea. That is beautiful. I wish that they would have included that in the movie. I feel at the time this movie was released, the media and Hollywood still wanted everything to be "pretty", sugar coated, unrealistic, and untrue to the book. Can't tell the truth because it's "unflattering'". But I guess that's what Hollywood does right? They omit, lie, conceal, pretend, and cover shit up.
      ANYWHO! Thank you for sharing this interesting bit of information!

    He did rather fast but when a person is sick, and they don't have a lot of time in this world. He just wanted to give her the best that he could give. And that comes from a true hearted guy who truly does Love and care about his woman. Or girls who do it for the guys they love. This story is sad because you see how much pain and love there is, and love has no time or bounds to how long a person should know someone before they can say I love you. Because love has no bonds. But that's how I felt about this movie when I first watched it.

    When you're confronted with death; all of the little, fleeting, meaningless things in life fall away, and you see with crystal clear clarity, all of the things that make life worth living. When you finally see that time clock that sits over your life, and over the lives of the ones you love, you don't waste the precious amount that you have left. Just one day, one week means as much as 80 years. I won't go into much detail, but I've lost so many people that I love and I've come very close to death myself several times. I assure you Billy things like this do happen in real life. This movie is based on a true story.

    Not sure if someone else already mentioned this in the comments but Nicholas Sparks wrote this book based off his sister. She was dying of cancer and her last wish was to get married. He wrote the book before she died. I believed she fulfilled her dream to marry before she died. He said in an interview that his sister was exactly like the character. Knowing this was based off an actual person makes the movie even more real and more sad for me.

    @pandawithacupcake3450 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This story is actually largely inspired by Nicholas Sparks' (the writer) sister's life.
    “Like Jamie Sullivan, she got sick, she got cancer. And like Jamie Sullivan, there was a boy in her life. And like Landon Carter, for a long time, this guy knew there was no way he could ever marry a girl like her. He knew he could never fall in love with a girl like her and yet, like Landon Carter, he did and like Landon Carter, even when she got sicker and sicker and we knew she wasn’t going to make it, he got down on his knees and asked her to marry him. And I remember thinking that’s just about the sweetest thing that anyone’s ever done for anybody.”

  • @Mimzy_Fairchild
    @Mimzy_Fairchild 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Okay, so as one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books, let me explain something to you. In the movie they did not show just how sick she got. In the book they rushed the wedding because she was really really sick. The title comes as a reference to her walking down the aisle. She was so sick by the time the wedding came around in the book that she was so weak she was wheelchair bound. However she wanted to walk down the aisle. So with her father's help she bared through the pain and exhausrion to walk down the aisle. And this took his breath away to watch this display of her love and strength. It was truly a walk to remember. "It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember." The movies don't ever quite do the books justice. So if you want a book recommendation, I recommend any Nicholas Sparks book. I think I own all but one of them and the majority have a movie to go with them. I recommend The Last Song (it literally made me sob), Safe Haven (because it will leave you going "What?!?"), and The Longest Ride (you get two love stories for the price of one). Plus it's never to late to read A Walk to Remember.

    Actually, Billy, sometimes young couples DO get married when one is dying. Always loved this movie. And yes, the black guy had a terrible role for most of the movie. But this was also a Nicolas Sparks book adaptation for film. I always liked the idea of reading the book and watching the movie to see the differences. The Notebook movie was REALLY GOOD. But I don’t think I ever read the book. But I DID read the sequel book, which is about the dad in old age and his adult children. Though they never made a movie of that one. Still a Nicholas Sparks movie. The biggest one adapted of his books to date. You outta review that one!

    I'm so glad someone finally reacted to this. I love this more than the Notebook...the love story was so pure. I was also not expecting the twist and it had me in tears honestly. Because of that I was really not expecting to laugh so hard through this. I totally get the songs you meant (AKA. Simple Plan) so I was laughing through every rendition of 'I hate you mom.' It's really a tearjerker for women though but I appreciate you taking it seriously at the end :)

    Actually this basically happened to my friend’s brother. He was in his early 20’s, regular guy in frequent not very deep relationships. He met a woman his age that he fell so hard for, and it turned out she had terminal bone cancer. They got married and she died shortly after. He visits her grave every year ten years later and says he still loves her, it also really changed his whole personality and made him mature very fast. Yeah it happened when he was 21-22 and not 18 but still.

    it does happen in real life....sometimes people are nervous and anxious about dating a person with cancer....alot of people are in relationships, engaged, or married to a person who was first diagnosed or already has it because they know the prognosis, chemo, and treatment thats needed to cure it, OR that its worsened to no cure.

    I always felt that they had to rush the ending because they literally were rushing down the aisle. They knew she was dying. They wanted to do everything they could with every moment they had left together. Some people marry their sweethearts in the hospitals on their deathbed because of this! It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.

    The point at 17:34 was actually like a punch in the gut. At the time, I was 16 and my grandmother was dying of cancer and a schoolfriend had leukaemia when I watched this, also dying. I think it was from this point on that there were occasions where I wasn't crying. I read the book after watching this film and it's really good. I wonder if they could do another version of this but do it in the time it was set, which is in 1959. I doubt they would though 😕 The soundtrack is so good! I recently listened to the audiobook and that made me cry as well 😅 I love your song 😄 It was one of my highlights

    That’s my favorite movie of all time, I’m a sucker for romance, but it’s weird because I hate tragic ending and avoid watching those movies normally. I didn’t know how it will end when I watched it the first time, I cried a river and spend hours deciding if I can love a movie with the ending like that.... than the quote « our love is like the wind, we can’t see it but we can feel it » stuck in my head so I decided that this movie is definitely my favorite.
    Even more heartbreaking knowing Nicholas Sparks wrote the book for his little sister Danielle, it’s partially based on her life. The character of Jamie is her and she also had her husband proposed to her despite her having cancer. She died 1 year after the released of the book. The love story of Landon & Jamie is based on Danielle and her husband.
