My #1 rated Chick Flick in at #40! |
|
The best thing about "The Notebook" is probably its simplicity. There's nothing complicated about it. It's all about the love shared by two very different people who have built a life together in spite of their differences, and who face their declining years together, with all the challenges those declining years bring. It's sweet, it's romantic, it's emotional- it's probably the epitome of what we think of when we speak about a "chick flick." And it's very good. The premise is - as I said - surprisingly simple. Allie (Gena Rowlands) is confined to a nursing home because of dementia. She can't remember anything - not even her family. Her husband Noah (James Garner) is fiercely devoted to her, reading everyday from a notebook, in which Allie penned the story of their love, a story that jus... |

READ THIS TO ME, AND I'LL COME BACK TO YOU |

I don't know...I'm probably just a hopeless romantic. I think I need to change my favorite genre in my profile. From SCI-FI to ROMANCE movies. What a radical conversion! Isn't this a heart-warming story? How does one define, in a Merriam-Webster typology, the meaning of SWEET? There's just no way. There's just but one way to do it- have a bite of candy or sugar. So, how does one define LOVE? This novel gave us one line of definition. The definiton of love as shared by ALLIE (GENA ROWLANDS) and NOAH (JAMES GARNER). Or the younger ALLIE (RACHEL MCADAMS) and younger NOAH (RYAN GOSLING). The more you think you understand what love is, the more you really don't. So, how do I describe the impact of this movie? WATCH IT. AND WATCH IT AGAIN. |

The notebook |
|
This movie was a great romance movie, that I could easily watch over and over. Although I did not cry... which my friends mow think I am cold hearted; I do still love it. The acting was great from everyone and I must say the ending was spectaculer and not sad but almost a twisted happy ending. |
