More
Received my copy of "A Walk to Remember" on DVD last week. A bargain at around $17. Predictably, I watched it 2.5 times in a row, and predictably, I cried. I remember having heated discussions with people who panned it for being a) too cheesy b) too sentimental c) not accurately portraying Christianity in having some dodgy statements about faith.
You know, I thought it was most excellent. It is such a surprise to watch a movie that even attempts to show positive aspects of Christianity. By no means did it market itself as a "Christian" movie, if such a thing actually exists, and so, through the gentle telling of a lovely romantic story, it influences people into seeing just how being a Christian can change people and give them a whole new perspective on life - namely God's perspective.
Not to mention it has one of those throwaway lines that I love (almost on a par with "I'll go down in history as the man who opened a door!" from Ever After or "Lembas bread... and look, more lembas bread" from The Two Towers")... "Ergo, a second blanket".
Heehee!
