Notebook one of the best love stories ever made,
By veronika (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Notebook (2004) (DVD)
The Notebook is set in an old Southern rest home for the elerly, the film follows four individuals through their respective life journeys. An older man (James Jarner) has volunteered his time to read to an infirm elderly woman (Gena Rowlands). The story he chooses to read her tells about the love of a young couple (Reachel Mcadams and Ryan GOsling) seperated first by social status and later on by war.As the film progresses the couple (Rachel Mcadams and Ryan Gosling) form this amazing emotional depth to the story that simply makes you fall in love wiht the movie. This story definetely opened the tear ducts. My favorite part of the movie ws the ending which really struck me and this movie will probablly stay with me for the rest of my life. This is a mature story about enduring love, sacrifice commitment and appriciation of you life partner. I think this movie presnted a good message in every day life which is the power of believing and those who really love and believe nuthing can be impossible.

I picked it up on a whim...I am so glad that I did!!,

This review is from: The Notebook (2004) (DVD)
I have to start out by saying that I was not a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, I had read "A walk to remember", and had seen the film version of it, as well as the film "message in a bottle"...I wasn't taken by either of them...they fell short in my books. So when I saw this DVD in the video store, I picked it up because frankly there was nothing else to get...but I am so glad that I did. I have often said that if a movie can make me cry...it will be a favorite of mine for ALL time! This story is so sweet and heartwarming. Beyond the story, I think that the actors did an amazing job of portraying the characters. I fell in love with Noah Calhoun along side Allie...I even said to my husband half way through, "I really like that guy...he's really cool!!" There is just something about him, that drew me in. (Ryan Gosling) I love that throughout the story you never really know whether the man reading Allie the story is Noah, or Lon...they leave you guessing until the end (I won't give away the secret!!) But after the movie my husband and I were saying that either way...it would have been alright. It is a MUST see in my books...the actors are amazing, and the story is amazing!! I felt emotionally drained after watching it!! There is nothing like a good cry...especially when it is not something in your own life that you are crying about!! I LOVED IT!!

WHEN THE END-CREDITS ROLL, NOT A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE...,
By NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 10 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Notebook (2004) (DVD)
This is one of those films you would ridicule if described to you by a buddy, you would reluctantly agree to go to (only because it is your wife's turn to pick the movie) - and will end up staying with you forever.A young couple's love is tested through societal chasms, dreams and ambitions, a world war, an avaricious mother withholding his letters, a handsome rich suitor, alzheimer's disease stealing away the past...I will refrain myself here not to enter into spoilers territory. The story is narrated with flashbacks, as the notes of the girl (played by the young Rachel Adams and the older Gena Rowlands) are read to her by her friend (James Garner) who shares the same long-term nursing home. Does it hit all the sappiness buttons? Masterfully yes - but it does so to a purpose! If you are depressed, see it to regain perspective of what is important in life. If you are happy, it will make you appreciate your happiness more. RECOMMENDED!
