The inspiration for A Walk to Remember was Nicholas Sparks' sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis, who died of cancer in 2000. In a speech he gave after her death in Berlin, the author admits that "In many ways, Jamie Sullivan was my younger sister". The plot was inspired by her life; Danielle met a man who wanted to marry her, "even when he knew she was sick, even when he knew that she might not make it". Both the book and film are dedicated to Danielle Sparks Lewis.

I cried when I watched it for the first time at age 10, and I cried again at 30. In my opinion, this is an excellent indicator for melodrama. Yes, it’s full of clichés, but it’s sweet, it’s about relationships, about love, about friendship. And he’s almost 20 years old, just a second! Translated to English

Melodrama is littered with clichés and episodes, which are enough in almost every similar film, but on the other hand, can they really show something new or surprise the viewer? The actors are pleasant, the soundtrack is appropriate, the plot and outcome are not new, but they will move the viewer. Translated to English
