Number 2-The Notebook

The Notebook is a timeless love story based on the novel written by Nicholas Sparks about two teenagers, Allie and Noah. Their relationship began with a very innocent connection and grew into deep love and intimacy. The relationship that they had was soon seperated by Allie's parents who thought that Noah was too "low class" and not fit for Allie. Many years went by without seeing or hearing from eachother. Meanwhile, Allie was engaged to another man and Noah went to off to fight in the war. Noah wrote Allie everyday for a year but she never got any of the letters; her mom stashed them away so she couldn't read or see them. When Noah and Allie met again they found that their love for eachother still remained. This forced her to choose between her fiance and Noah.

Throughout the movie, this story was read to Allie by Noah. At this point in her life, Allie was in a nursing home suffering from alzheimer and only remembered who Noah was one time each day and only after Noah read her the story did she realize it was actually about them and their own love tale. This movie tells a beautiful story of what love really is and the true meaning of romance.

I thought The Notebook was one of the best love stories i have seen in a long time. Everyone in the movie stayed true to their character which let the audience experience empathy toward them and their situation they encountered. The characters all showed emotion very well which let us believe we were actually there and part of this compassionate love story.

The plot of the movie was very touching to me and it stayed very consistant throughout the entire film. The character development was excellent and it was easy to understand how these young teenagers grew to fall in love with eachother in a few monthes.

All the scenes in the movie were very colorful, making the movie more dramatic and cheerful when needed. Many of the scenes were shot outdoors which made them romantic and emotionally moving.
