The Notebook (2004)

There is a reason

There is a simple explanation for why someone would give a bad rating for this movie...they have never known what it's like to have loved and lost or almost lost someone. This movie makes sense to people who believe to have met their soul mate. That magical connection that Noah and Alli portray is only something some of us get to experience and understand.

Therefore, this movie gets five stars from me and is my favorite movie of all time. I've never been so glued to the television. I've never cried so hard at emotions being acted out, or the writing striking so close to home. I do not seek out tear-jerker movies and finding this movie was an accident. Well done!! July 20, 2008

rating! July 17, 2008

A Wonderful Love Story

This is the Best Love Story I have ever seen. They should make more movies like this. This is now my all time favorite !!!

Please give this movie a chance

I was reluctant to watch this film because of the overwhelming mainstream adoration. Everytime I saw the cover of the DVD with Allie and Noah kissing I rolled my eyes and mocked.

I enjoy passionate movies, not cheesy love stories. I was CONVINCED this would be such. I did read the book many years ago and was certain this would be a watered-down disappointment.

One evening I happened to catch the last 40 minutes of the film (the scene in the boat with the white ducks swimming), I could not stop watching. I was completely infatuated with this film. I immediately rented, then purchased this movie.

I promptly made a date with my husband to watch the film. I was delighted by his enjoyment...Noah is enough of a "man's man" that men relate to him and empathize with him.

The Filmmakers did an amazing job of pulling the most beautiful scenes from the novel to project onto the screen.

If you ever hesitated watching this movie, based on principals which deny you from watching a favorite book turned to film...PLEASE WATCH.

This is the exception to the rule.

This is officially my favorite film. I do not know what to compare it to, as there is no other love story that moved both me and my husband to just want to hold one another and stay in love forever.

Thank you. June 26, 2008

A VERY TOUCHING STORY

This is a true love story of two people from very diferent backgrounds. His love for her kept him going seven years after they parted.An old house bought them back together and they married. When she developed dementia he read to her each day an on going love story about two people in love. She never recognized the story or the characters. One small minute she did and said that is our story and she slipped right back into her dementia. In the end they died together. Such a touching and moving story. June 15, 2008
