Lets Talk About | *A WALK TO REMEMBER* (2002) FIRST TIME WATCHING (Movie Commentary) 

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 ❤️

One of my favorite movies....He was rushing because he wanted her to have everything she wished for...🥺

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.

It's very reasonable why they moved so fast. I had leukemia when I was 22... you'd be surprised at the decision you make looking at death. I'm fortunate to be turning 24 this year... bone marrow transplant gave me a 2nd birthday.

Not him thinking she's gonna be her own miracle 😂😂

The guy I dated in college took me to see this when it was in theaters on Valentine's Day, and everyone in the packed theater was in tears. The random chicks beside us had to give my bf - a 6'5, 260lbs powerlifter - napkins to wipe his eyes. We were all a mess that night.

They got married because not only did they love each other but the number one thing on her bucket list was to get married in the same church as her parents. She said that in the movie, I think he wanted to do that for her.

“Oh they’re moving too fast for me.” SHE DOESN’T HAVE TIME!!

The title "A Walk to Remember" refers to the walk that Jamie makes down the aisle to marry Landon, looking perfectly happy and radiant, despite suffering from late-stage leukemia and having trouble moving on her own. 😢

I don't care "Only Hope" is the best scene in this movie and it will definitely drag you to church without expectation. This is genuinely one of the only faith based movies of the early 2000's that isn't marketed as such. You have got to do the movie Saved! next #BillyBinges

In case you guys want the lyrics to sing along: "I hate you mom I hate you dad I hate School It makes me sad"

“So, my guess is that the lead girl is gonna get sick-“ Me, nodding my head a lot, impressed that he guessed it so early! “-and then Mandy Moore is gonna have to take her place.” Me: Oh. Never mind. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

How did you manage to make me laugh while watching A walk to remember. 🤔🤣

I can never stand romance movies because I tend to need more than romance to drive the plot of a movie. But this movie is the only exception. I've never seen another movie portray love so beautifully in my entire life. This couple wrecked me in the best way possible ❤

The plot was rushed near the end but given the circumstances, it makes sense. She had leukemia and knew she only had a few more months to live. One of her wishes was to get married in the church, so he fulfilled that as well as others. He wanted her to pass without any regrets

Nah Billy we need a storytime on you dating a preacher's kid LMAO 😂

Yes, part of it is based on a true story. The writer based it on his own life. His sister died from cancer and she had the same characteristics as the character in the film. Her boyfriend married her. Btw, it took about 39 days and 11 mil to make the movie. I hope you really get a chance to watch the movie for yourself. It really is a beautiful film. Thanks so much. ✌️❣️

Dope commentary!! 🔥 and the editing... LIT 🔥 Good job bro! 💯

Of course they’re moving too fast. He’s trying to finish her whole list before she💀

AHHHH OMG. When I saw the notification I almost died. NOBODY watches this movie, NOBODY. And It's the best (and most realistic) romance movie I've ever watched!!! Thank you! And for the people who didn't saw this movie before: This is real love.

When he got married to her before she died just so she could get married at the same church as her mother did. He built her a telescope. He was so real with her and so protective over her and he truly cared. This movie was the best 🥺

They rushed feel is bc they did rush it bc they knew she was gonna die and they wanted to be married before she died😭 this movie gets me every time

Every I watch this movie I seriously ugly cry!

Billy you poor thing, you had NO IDEA the pain this movie gives you, but it’s SO GOOD. Welcome to the club, this movie changes you 💕

Crazy Stupid Love is a rom-com thats really funny. Would recommend you watch it!

Notice how the people that tell you how you should do it are always the ones that haven’t really done it at all 🙄 - Sam

Such a sad movie. He loved her and rushed everything , I think, because he wanted her to be able to experience them before she died. #bingers Just go with it, The mummy (Brenden fraiser.. not tom cruise) , The ugly truth.

This exact situation happened with a friend from my highschool. Except its was him who got married at 18 and she was 17. He died a year after the wedding and she found out she was pregnant 2 weeks before he died. :/ it was also leukemia. Heart breaking.

because she's sick he had limited time with her, that's why he tried to fulfill her wishes so quickly

Jamie's wish to witness a miracle came true. Landon was the miracle 😫😫😫

The part when his father makes that gesture and holds Landon, both sobbing... I can’t take it I always break down. 😢

The reason the story was a little sped up was because Landon wanted to fulfill as much of Jamie's bucket list as he could in the wake of realizing that she might die before ever really experiencing life. He really did love her.

This movie has been one of my favorites since I was a sophomore in high school (in 2002). The soundtrack got me through my teen years. "I hate you mom, I hate you dad" should be added to the soundtrack.

She still is a singer lool she's also the voice actress for Rapunzel in Tangled.

#Bingers Never Been Kissed. That song by you Billy is an earworm.

He was already falling in love with her before the end of the play. When he was at the door he told her “I can’t just be your friend”. They were already starting to like each other that’s why it hurt her so bad that he was acting like that with his friends.

The reason they got married is because they probably wanted to live a life together before she died which is rly cute but they are still in high school so it is kinda weird .

I always thought the miracle she witnessed was his changing for the better. No one saw him as anything more than a bad seed. His dad wasn’t there, his mom didn’t believe in him, no one in town really did. But in such a short time period, she helped him see that he could be more, and that was the miracle. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mandy Moore was an underrated singer. You should catch her in Saved! #bingers

I also don't care, the two places at once scene is cute

Every Nicolas Sparks book ends tragic. That's kind of the genre. The movies always cut out and skim things and that's why it felt way too fast.

My favorite by Nicolas Sparks, “The Choice.” Put it on your list please.

I'm a big fan of Nicholas Sparks and this is one of my favorite movie adaptions! So glad you reacted to it. As for the title, that's emphasized more in the book (IMO) than the movie. In the book she's so sick that she's in a wheelchair & it's thought she won't be able to walk down the aisle. But when the time comes she is able.

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!

The plot makes much more sense when you know the story in the book takes place in the 1958 instead of the 2002.

One black character with all the "black guy" stereotypes constantly saying "brotha" in case we forget 😔

Underrated Commentary Channel. Keep on giving the 10/10 content

I never had a walk that I remembered enough to want to make a movie about.

I feel like I enjoy this movie even more on rewatches, because of the detail they put into the scenes before we know that she’s sick. There are some moments where she actually looks like she’s very pale or has dark circles under her eyes, but you wouldn’t notice it unless you knew

I married my “too nice” lol, because there’s no such thing as too nice. 18 years together, 13 married, and going strong.

I took my husband to see this in the theater. I had already read the book so I knew what was gonna happen, but he didn't. He was bawling when she died!! He still jokes with me about NOT warning him ahead of time!

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.

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 :)

BLAST FROM THE PAST with Brendan Fraser + Alicia Silverstone. PLEASENTVILLE with Reese Witherspoon

I wish we could have seen just a couple scenes after marriage of them smiling and being happy and then her on her death bed saying i love you too each other and him thanking her for believing in him and her saying you are my miracle and them both in tears That wouldve added so much more to the story imo Still, one of my faves Based on book that was based on true story about the author's sister

Read the Twilight series. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I would kill to hear your reaction of reading through that.

I need an encore of.. "I hate you mom, I hate you dad" 😂😂

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.

I'm new to your channel and not usually into movie commentaries, but your movie choices are so on point. I can't stop clicking, and now I'm part of your 80%-female-subscriber-base. Keep creating!

I absolutely love this movie!! I named my son Landon cuz of this movie! Oh and I would Love to see you watch Clue!!

This Movie is based on a Nicolas Sparks who also wrote " The Notebook" so every one of his movies are tear jerkers.

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.

"You wanna talk to the knuckle sandwiches again?" That had me reeling 🤣😂🤣😅

Not gonna lie: I read the book knowing full well what happens and I was still in tears by the end. Nicholas Sparks can get you crying no matter how tough you think you are.

#Bingers Maybe one or all of the Back To The Future movies???

#Bingers While You Were Sleeping #Bingers Enchanted #Bingers The Fault In Our Stars #Bingers Tangled

Mandy won the best breakthrough female award at the 2002 mtv movie awards besting the likes of future Oscar winner Anne Hathaway and pop star juggernaut Britney spears. I'm still not over it.

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.”

I just know I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head the whole day

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.

They got married quickly so she could have a wedding before she died! :) glad you liked it!

This is one of those tragic movies that works for me. The actors have real chemistry. Many Moore has such a wonderful voice and I really love the idea that she wasn't just willing to take his crap because he was a cute boy. #Bingers If you want another movie for the month of February Titanic is a must I think lol Would love to see you react to Onward sometime too if you haven't already

I remember my dad taking me to this movie and him crying, which is rare

#Bingers "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion" (1997).

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.

I CRY 😢🤧 EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS MOVIE YA’LL 🎥❤️💯... EVERY TIME!.... EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Landon changing his life path was the miracle

Just realized I've been confusing this movie with Walk the Line this whole time. I was looking at every male character going, "is that one johnny cash? Oh, so, is that one johnny cash?"

I got me a man like that I had a bad guy in highschool he was abusive 7 years later I am with a good man who treats me like a queen so I definitely know the defirence between a bad guy and a good guy Also they have a music video for the movie it's by Mandy moore called cry

I hate to sound like an annoying subscriber... but THIS DOES Happen In Real Life. Unfortunately. They sped it up in the end because dying can be That Fast. I know people this have happened to...different variations, but marry young, maybe have kids, before a spouse dies. Even a girl that got cancer at 16...she ended up getting preggo at 17 and then the cancer took her ability to have kids, so she was so happy she had the one she could when she did...also lost her husband in an accident. Shit Happens...it's not pretty.

I don’t find you annoying, I find you hilarious. Keep making great videos your way. 😂😂 I read every once in awhile and the last book I read was The Mind of a Conservative Woman.

For book suggestions: Perks of being a Wallflower, and the Red Queen. I love The Selection series but it is about falling in love. Idk if you’re about that stuff

#bingers You should watch the movie "Home is where the heart is" Has Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd and Stocker Channing in it.

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.

Mandy Moore is so pretty. What guy is mocking her lol

The time feels fast to you. My best friend had CF. She knew the statistics of someone born in the 70s. She met the love of her life in 92. They got engaged. Her health was deteriorating fast. She planned her wedding from her hospital bed. They married in October.... she passed June 7, 1995.

This is my go to movie when I need a good cry 😭

#Bingers Music & Lyrics ♥ Also, this is one of my favorite movies!!! Glad to see you watch it. Book recommendations: The Black Obsidian series by Victoria Quinn. The Daring Twin and The Betwitching Twin by Donna Fletcher. Not sure if you like romance and smut, but those are good stories with those things also included ;) hehe.

Billy: 🎶I HATE YOU MOM! I HATE YOU DAD!🎶 ME: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

before the fault in our stars there was this and it made me cry as a kid not knowing anything about relationships haha

I will forever love and live this movies soundtrack 🎶 P.S. I'm sad that Landon's actor didn't blow up in the same way that Mandy did. I think his performance in this was really good

With that song you came up with, you need to get on Masked Singer. :)

FYI it's based on the true story of the author's sister.

Check out the movie “Somewhere in time” with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, it’s amazing and it’s based upon the great book “Bid Time Return”

Book Rec: Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime.

20:03 Billy has never read a Nickolas Sparks book before. I felt for you at that moment, so innocent.

“they finally gave him another characteristic other than trash” 😂

If you're looking for good books to read, look at books by Nicholas Sparks, which is the author of the book this movie was based on. Also, Tom Clancy. Also, the book Eye Candy. The Twilight series was okay.

Out of all the pop girls of that era. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, etc. Mandy Moore has one of the most angelic voices, you could react to some of her songs.

"So I guess the lead girl is going to get sick or something?". Oh yeah, she does! Only it's not the lead girl from the play. Lol! I love how you accidentally almost guessed it.
