A Walk to Remember Full Production Notes "It all comes down to who's by your side."
|

 Chapter 2: Somewhat a Hippie and a Bohemian UnderneathJamie is already volunteering her time to the tutoring program. She is also a lead in the spring play. At first, the very fact of her participation in both activities is proof to Landon that he is being unfairly cast into the school's nerd class. Finding himself in the same social sphere as the minister's daughter, even for a few hours a week, is mortifying.
Jamie is not pleased to be sharing extracurricular time with Landon either. She takes her interests and her community service seriously and doesn't care for his cavalier attitude. Knowing about the cement factory incident that almost killed a boy, she finds Landon and his friends contemptible.
Still, she has been taught to forgive and to try to find the good in all people, so she dutifully puts her personal feelings aside and does her best to assist Landon when he asks for help memorizing his lines for the play. Besides, there is just a chance ` or is she imagining it' ` that Landon might not be as bad as he likes to appear.
Jamie's father, seeing the boy on his doorstep one evening for a rehearsal session, is seriously concerned. Why would a kid like Landon be spending time with Jamie' Surely no good can come of it. A devoted single parent to his only child after her mother's early death, Reverend Sullivan's love for his daughter is as powerful and focused as the sermons he vigorously delivers from his pulpit Sunday mornings. It is clear that he will allow no one to hurt his little girl.
Peter Coyote, who plays the part of Reverend Sullivan, says of his character, "He's hard but fair. He measures his behavior and the conduct of others by certain standards and he's very strict about that. Of course, in today's permissive culture he just looks like an old dinosaur who's completely out of touch." More than anything else, as Coyote explains, is Reverend Sullivan's desire to protect his daughter from any harm that might come her way, and that "maybe makes him a little more severe than he would normally be."
Landon's mother, Cynthia, is also a single parent. She loves her son more than anything in the world but doesn't know much about his interests or how he's doing in school because Landon doesn't confide in her. Seeing his new acquaintance for the first time, Cynthia is curious about what it means but knows better than to question him.
Daryl Hannah, who brings Cynthia to life on screen, understands that her character "is trying to walk that fine line between friend and mother. She is a complex character herself, very conservative in some ways and yet still somewhat a hippie and a bohemian underneath. For all her honest effort and love, she's never really sure that she's been raising Landon right, especially without a father figure." Cynthia knows her son is troubled and hopes he will find his way, though she doesn't know how to help him.
Meanwhile, Landon's crowd is confused by his behavior as he spends more time with his newfound interests and less time hanging out with them. His friend Dean (played by Clayne Crawford, best known for his recurring role on "Roswell") and former girlfriend Belinda (Lauren German, of "Down to You") wonder if he's leaving them behind, despite Landon's half-hearted attempts to reassure them ` and himself -- that nothing has changed. What is going on with Landon' What kind of a spell does this girl have on him' They try to bring him around every way they know, and when that doesn't work they try to hurt him by hurting Jamie with a particularly nasty trick concocted by Belinda, who still carries a torch for her former beau. But nothing they do seems to have any effect.
