A Walk to Remember is my favourite movie. As you may already know it's based on the book by Nicolas Sparks. I would cry every time I watch this movie, but I haven't watched the movie in more than a year. I haven't cried for a long time either. I guess it's a good thing, but sometimes like when you don't have nose bleeds for a long time and then you get a massive one, I believe that crying once in awhile cleanses your system.
Sleeping is my way of treating with denial sometimes. If I'm feeling lonely, confused, frustrated, sad I jump into my bed, pull the covers over and hide. I remember there was that phase where I just constantly slept, cause it was the only way time pass quick enough. Being conscience was just too much to bear. I don't know how many hours I spent crying and I wouldn't let my family see me so I let my blanket and pillow soak up all my tears. Sometimes I really question how much my mom knows or knew.
Well so in light of the last 2 nights of resorting to popping into bed at like 8/9ish I decided it's about time to let it out? Since Dear John is also based on a book my Nicolas Sparks I felt I should watch it even it's just out of loyalty. I waited till the whole family went to bed, then I grabbed my blanket and "boyfriend" pillow and started the movie. Actually, I was contemplating on going to the theatre in the movie and watching the movie there alone, but it was no longer playing. I started the movie at like 2am? Within the first 1/2 hour I think the scene/moment I've been hoping for finally came. I was relieved when my eyes got glossy, heavy and my vision blurred. There was a feeling of accomplishment when the tear finally rolled down my cheek. And it just felt right when I was plain out sobbing and emotions buzzed through me. (yeah, yeah, emo..whateverrr).
For the record the movie was not that great. Halfway through the play screen something that was really unconventional love story-ish happened. Then a couple of minutes later the movie ended with the no real conclusion at all. What did they do did capture fantastically are the raw emotions of a love. I didn't cry really because of the protagonists' story, I think I cried because I related some of the things that happened- in the sense that yes, I've felt that before and no I don't feel that way. I cried because I realized... realized.. compared.. realized...I realized.

The book's pretty crappy but the movie was even crappier. I was disappointed too, you should read the post that i wrote about it. I think I also called it the "Dear John" post.
ReplyDeleteThere was only one moment in the movie that I cried, and i'm pretty sure I cried for the same reasons you did... because i related.
