Throughout the film it will make the audience have a twist in their feelings and emotions towards the film such as having happy tears, excitement, sadness and anger, as well as making the audience realize that love could last forever.

Although Nicholas Sparks demonstrates that love can last forever, he also demonstrates that love is not based on money, by showing that even though Dawson was lower class, what Amanda felt for Dawson was stronger than all the money in the world .

In The Best of Me, Dawson and Amanda’s love story begins at a cafe.
