3. •This film is based on true story. The vow is
the most romantic drama film I have ever
seen. I watch it from time to time. And I
never tire of watching it. Another reason
why I love this movie is my favourite actor

Tatum and Rachel McAdams who starring
in this film are best of the best.

7. True Story
• The Vow is based on the actual relationship of Kim and
Krickitt Carpenter, who wrote a book about their marriage, also
known as The Vow. Ten weeks after their wedding
on 18 September 1993, the couple were involved in
an auto-mobile accident in which Krickitt suffered
a brain trauma, which erased memories of her
romance with Kim as well as their marriage.
Kim is still deeply in love with his wife, although
she views him as a stranger after the accident.
According to the couple, their faith in Jesus
and their wedding vows before God kept
them together.

19. • I really enjoyed this movie, more than I enjoyed . Personally I liked the
fact that it doesn't have a perfect, happily ever after ending, but it still
has a happy ending . The fact that it's inspired by a true story makes it
that much better.

20. My favourite scenes:
• When she open the box with notes (for your head,for your nose ,for your
heart ..)

21. When Paige is cold,and Leo warms her hands with
his breath.

24. The scenes I don’t like
• When her father tries to separate them
• When everybody lie to her expect Leo.
• When they are having dinner at Paige’s home

lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of
them?
