The Notebook (2004)

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Probably after Titanic the movie most adored by young girls- just a guess but I am probably correct. It is melodramatic, sentimental and even cliched but Gosling and McAdam's (who were an item whilst filming) are too good actors to let all that become obvious.

I remember liking it the first time I saw it, but it only gets better the second time and beyond. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are just absolutely perfect! It's an epic, timeless romance and a must-watch film! The film is impeccably put together, with every detail thoughtfully executed and there is a deliberate purpose for every scene, every line, and every element. In case you haven't seen it yet - bring tissues!

The only thing worth watching is Gosling with his shirt off, but only with the sound off. Chick Flick of the worst kind.

"The Notebook" (2004) is a great love story about Noah, Ryan Gosling and Allie, Rachel McAdams based off of the famous novel written by Nicholas Sparks. The film is the story of how Noah and Allie met and their lives together being read later in life out of journal by Noah to Allie while she is suffering from Alzheimer's. This story is your normal cliché love story that everyone loves. The guy chasing after a girl, her parents not approving and in the end the two of them fall in love and live a happy life. In the beginning Allie meets Noah at a local carnival. Noah spends most of his time throughout the film trying to convince Allie to fall in love with him and convince her parents that he is good enough for her, although he is a boy from the other side of town. Quickly, Allie falls into him and their story continues despite her parent's approval. Allie's mother is the one who causes much of the problems in this film. She sets them up to begin fighting in many different way and eventually to stop talking all together while Allie moves away for school. While she is away Noah continues to love her, and try his best to contact her throughout many years apart. He builds their dream home and goes out of his way to make sure that they could rekindle the fire that was once there. A few years later, Allie and Noah run into each other and it all unravels. Everything that Noah had done, all of the letters that you later find out Allies mother had been hiding. They fall in love all over again until the day that they are sitting there while Noah is reading to Allie while she doesn't remember. The movie closes with the two of them having the ends of their lives together just like it always should have been. So, in conclusion while wanting to watch this movie, expect it to be your average Nicholas Sparkes film just like these others; safe heaven, the longest ride and the best of me etc.
