Hi!!! Haha...
I just watched this movie 'A Walk To Remember' featuring Mandy Moore and Shane West. You can find it on YouTube. It was damn touching, can.
Watch it and you'll know what I mean...
When a prank on a fellow high-school student goes wrong, Landon Carter (Shane West) is threatened with expulsion. His punishment is mandatory participation in various after-school activities, such as tutoring disadvantaged children and acting in the drama club's Spring play. At these functions he is forced to interact with Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), a girl he has known for many years but with whom he rarely interacted. When Landon realizes that he needs help learning his lines for the play, he asks Jamie for help. She agrees to help him if he promises not to fall in love with her. Landon and Jamie begin practicing together at her house after school. One day, Jamie asks Landon if they were still on for practice that afternoon to which he replies, "Only in your dreams", because he was with his friends. When Landon goes to her house for practice, she refuses to open the door.
Landon eventually learns the script by himself. During the play, Jamie, who is wearing her costume, astounds Landon with her beauty. Landon kisses Jamie during the play, which was not in the play's script, and the two pursue a relationship afterwards. He takes her out to dinner and helps her with her wish list, like being in two places at once and getting a tattoo.
Jamie finally tells Landon that she has terminal leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. As Jamie is hospitalized, Landon fulfills 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. The movie ends with Jamie's death, but only after the couple are married in the same chapel as was Jamie's deceased mother, the event that topped Jamie's wish list. 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. It is obvious that Jamie helped him to focus and become a better person. For example, he reveals he has finished college and been accepted to medical school; prior to meeting her he had no plans for life after high school. He tells Jamie's father that he is sorry he could not grant Jamie's wish to witness "a miracle" before she died. Her father says, "She did. It was you."
