However, Landon must take part in the school play and provide remedial instruction to students, because of punishment set by the school. As a result, they get to know each other better and even though at first Landon feel ashamed to be seen with Jamie, because of his reputation, in the end, he falls in love with Jamie and throw away his pride and defend her when his friends make fun of Jamie.
I like this movie a lot and that’s why I chose it. Actually, it`s one of the best movies I have ever seen, even perhaps the best. It`s the first movie that I watched without subtitles, but still I understood what was going on. It`s very touching film with all the great music, composed by Mervyn Warren. I liked the fact that the movie was a restrained, and there was no naked sex scenes. The love of two people described with expressions, words and music and that is admirable. It`s rare that nowadays people films this kind of movies.
The movie is very educational too. When you have seen it, you will understand the fact that it`s childish to pretend something else that you aren`t because of your reputation. The film gives also bravery to people who are bullied because of they believe in God, when they have seen what Jamie answered to her teasers. After watching film, you can realize too, how Landon changed and became a better person, after he fell in love with Jamie and began to date with her.
Nice review! I’ve seen the film about ten times and I still haven’t gotten sick of it. You really captured the essence of the movie beautifully. Especially the part where you said that the love between Jamie and Landon isn’t too sexual. It’s like Landon really falls in love with Jamie and doesn’t look at her as just a piece of skirt. Good job =)
