Although the book by Nick and the movie has various differences, in this case, I support the movie more.. One difference is that the book is like a flashback , whereas , in this case. Landon (the main character) lives it.
The Boy, Landon Carter |
All starts when this boy; a badass, who , got into some trouble.His punishment is some mandatory participation in various after-school activities.
At these functions he is forced to interact with quiet, bookish Jamie Sullivan, a girl he has known for many years but to whom he has rarely ever spoken. Their differing social statures leave them worlds apart, despite their close physical proximity.
In the final stretch of the movie, Jamie confesses to Landon that she has terminal leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. Landon gets upset at first. Jamie tells him that she didn't tell him because she was moving on with her life and using the time she had left but then Landon happened and she fell deeply in love with him. She says that she "does not need a reason to be angry at God"....THIS IS WHERE THE SAD PARTS COME IN AND WHERE U GET DEM FEELS.
Landon and Jamie make up the next day. They hug and he tells her that he will be there for her. Soon, word gets out about Jamie's illness. Eric, Landon's best friend, comes and tells him how sorry he is and that he didn't understand. Dean and Belinda both come and apologize, too.
Jamie's cancer gets worse and she collapses in her father's arms. He rushes her to the hospital where he meets Landon. Landon doesn't leave Jamie's side until her father practically has to pry him away. Jamie's father sits with Jamie and tells her that "If I've kept you too close, it's because I wanted to keep you longer." Jamie tells him that she loves him and he breaks down.
Later, Jamie gives Landon a book that was her mother's filled with quotations. Landon reads 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 along with her.
Jamie then tells Landon that she believes that God sent him to her to help her through her illness and that he is her angel.
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.
They eventually get married in the same chapel Jamie's parents were married in, which is the top thing on her list she wanted to do.
AFTER THIS, is the part WHERE U WILL CRY TILL IT HURTS!!!!
Landon narrates that they had a wonderful summer together after getting married and that Jamie passed away shortly after.LIKE WHAT DA PHAKKK
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, Landon visits Jamie's father and shows that he is still a better person because of Jamie by informing her father that he has been accepted into medical school. Jamie's father tells him that both he and her mother are proud of him and that Jamie would be too.
Landon tells him that he is sorry he never granted Jamie's wish to witness a miracle. Jamie's father tells him that she did, in fact, witness one: Landon.
Carrying that thought, Landon goes for a walk on the docks where he narrates that Jamie changed him forever and that while he does miss her, he believes their enduring love is like the wind: he can't see it but he will always feel it.
The movie ends with Landon looking at the sunset and smiling warmly.
GOD .... GIVE NICK A MEDAL.
THE FEELS IN THIS ONE IS STRONG.
