3. Reviews As a maturing male, I couldn't help but cry inside I
found myself wishing I were either Landon or Jamie, because they
represent the real virtues of life and love. While I never expected
this to touch me so much, AWTR enters as perhaps my favorite movie
of all time. A girl looking like Mandy Moore would not get treated
at all poorly at all in suburban high school. It's discouraging
that the kids with real social problems see movies that are
supposed to represent people like them, only to find they cast
someone like Moore for the part of the outcast. This contradicts
what the messages in these movies are supposedly supposed to be:
you shouldn't care what others think of you. It's almost
offensive.
4. Plot summary When Landon (Shane West) decides he wants to
take his activities seriously, he asks Jamie (Mandy Moore) for help
and begins to spend most of his time with her. He starts to develop
strong feelings for her. The two starts a relationship, when a
heart-breaking secret becomes known that puts their relationship to
the test, it is then that Landon and Jamie realize the true meaning
of love and fate.
6. Initiating This very short stage is all about making an
impression. So this stage the judging would not be accurate. People
will be concerned with making favorable impressions. The physical
appearance plays a great role in impression making.
7. Initiating They were making fun of Jamies outdated fashion.
Landon was laughing at her appearance with his friends. This shows
that Landon did not found Jamie to be attractive.
8. Experimenting After initiating stage, people move into
experimenting stage. They want to know whether they have any basis
for a long-term relationship with the other person and on what
basis the relationship might exist.
9. Experimenting They had a small talk in the bus. Landon was
trying to discover issues about Jamie. In the car, Landon asked
Jamie to go on a date with her. Landon asked Jamies father for his
permission to go on a date with his daughter.
10. Integrating Integration is the feeling that one or both
sides of the relationship feel as if they are a part of each other
and that whatever happens to one, either something good or bad,
also happens to the other and feels with them.
11. Integrating In this scene, Jamie is bullied by some of
Landons former friends. After bring embarrassed, Landon takes Jamie
out of the school to blow some steam and calm her down. He then
tells her that everything will be okay and that he will stick with
her no matter what.
12. Intensifying They will find various ways to nurture a
relationship in order to strengthen interpersonal development such
as gifts, spending more time together, expressing affection through
verbal and nonverbal actions.
13. Intensifying In the scene, Landon tells Jamie that he loves
her for the first time. Which is a verbal way of expressing his
affection towards her.
14. Stagnating Stagnating is when couples are usually feeling
this sense of coming apart and have a little grief going on with
them. They feel as if they dont feel the need to communicate with
each other and already know what the other is going to say.
15. Stagnating In this scene, Jamie admits that she has cancer
and has been diagnosed for several years now. Landon doesnt want to
hear anymore of what Jamies going to say because he feels like he
knows what she is going to say. Now, Landon must cope with her
diagnosis and figure out how hes going to deal with it.
16. Bonding Bonding stage is the last stage of coming together.
The integrating stage does not necessarily move into bonding. Two
people could work closely with each other at the same job until
retirement without feeling that there was a relationship
commitment. Probably all of us have life-long friends with whom we
don't share a commitment. On the other hand, special relationships
move eventually to bonding.
17. Bonding In the beginning of the movie it compared love with
stars in the sky. Keeping promises into reality by lovers. Unity
among lovers should be adequate. Being faithful to the partner is
the best. Fulfilling commitments made by lovers. Trust in lovers
should be observed. Cooperation among the couple Couples have
ability to believe in one another.
18. Bonding Bonding stage is the stage where couples begin to
movie into life long commitments such as marriage. In this scene,
Landon and Jamie marry each other because they love each other and
want to be in each others lives as long as they live. This shows as
example of the bonding stage, the final stage of coming
together.
