Writing a critical review can be very hard. Whether it’s critizing the bad or giving praise to the good. When evaluating a film, it is hard to pick the most compleling arguments. Others might not agree but that is the job the crtisizm is supposed to do. It is supposed to show the readers that there is truth behind the words.

The movie A walk to Remember has left an impression on me. A very good impression in fact. Even though I love the movie, I can see it’s faults. When the movie starts, We start seeing teenagers yelling and acting crazy. The first scene though when the actors are speaking, the acting seems very weak. The scene itself makes the audiance feel uncomfertable, I know it made me sort of uncomfertable. It was not convincing enough. It seemed practiced and not flowy.

But the acting between the two major characters, Jaime and Landon played by Mandy Moore and Shane West, was very pure. The softness between them pulled us in and kept us there. It was the first movie for both actors to have a dramatic role. Since then, Mandy Moore has not put a performence like she did in A Walk to Remember. Up to date, that was her most beliveble role. It had truth behind the acting.

The ending of the movie might have mixed reviews by people but sometimes sad endings are needed. The ending of A Walk To Remember is a very sad one when Jaime died. But such as an ending like that is needed and makes the story more heartfelt. It is because of that ending that drew people to like the movie. It might seem like a bad thing to say but it is true. When the film is build on such a dilemma in a case that Jaime had leukemia, if she ended up ok then it would have been a good ending and we would have loved the happy ending and we would have been happy overall with the movie but the twist that she dies makes the movie realistic. People die even at such a young age. The scene makes people cry and it is heart felting. It makes us remember the movie.
