I just watched this movie today (02/20/13) because I have nothing to do. The movie shows how I feel. I can relate to the movie. I'm not saying that my dad is dying and their marriage was not a success but I feel what Ronnie felt when she found out that his dad was sick. I'm also not saying that my dad has terminal cancer but it's something hereditary and it has nothing to do with this.
Anyway, to cut it all short I was moved because of what his dad did for them to be together again. I'm a daddy's girl so I was totally flushed about his dad's case. I mean, that was the best thing for a dad to do. Fixed a broken relationship between their children. I salute Ronnie's dad (even though he's a fictional character) because he has a lot of courage and wits to do that. Those are one of the things our parents are willing to do. His dad sacrificed a lot.
What I hate about novels turned into movies that some good parts aren't included. I was expecting her mom's confession about their break-up. I remember that Will's sister has a conversation with Ronnie but that isn't included in the movie too. And also the Priest-Ronnie conversations.
All in all, the movie was great. It still has the concept of the novel event though some parts aren't included (maybe that's just how it works).
I also read the book. It was a christmas gift from a friend. And I'm thanking him because he bought me a really good book. If you're a bookworm (or someone who is willing to read books even if you already saw the movie), I recommend reading this. The way Nicholas Sparks put the words to describe each scene is moving. The book will explain how things work (which the movie didn't). Like hiding the piano because Ronnie doesn't like seeing one (SPOILER ALERT!). I read this book a long time ago so I'm not sure if I'm right. I do know it's something like that.
The book also has his dad's letter in it. You can read the full letter there. You'll also meet the Pastor at the church.
I'm not focused on Ronnie-Will love story but the ending in the book is different from the ending in the movie. Read to find out :)
As expected, I cried at both (reading and watching it). I don't know if I'm just a cry baby or it is simply a work of art. I don't know how Nicolas Sparks do his magic but I do know his novels are the best. A lot of thumbs up for the author himself!!! :)
This is not your ordinary chick flick so it's a good movie to watch.
