The Notebook

"The Notebook", inspired by a book written by Nicholas Sparks, is about a young woman who comes to the coastal town of Seabrook, North Carolina in the 1940's to spend the summer with her family. During this summer, still in her teens, Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) meets local boy Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) at a Carnival one night. From the moment he laid his eyes on her at the Carnival, he knew they were meant to be together, even though she is raised from a wealthy family and he's only a mill worker. Over this Summer, they both fall deeply in love and spent every day together, they were inseperable. Allie's parents realize how serious they are and wants to break them apart because her mother sees him as trash. Her parents make her leave early that Summer and move far up north. Every day for a year, Noah wrote Allie letters but her mother hid everyone from her and she never read one of them. Once they both realized it was just a Summer fling, they both go back to living their lives. Noah went and served in the Army for WW2 and Allie had meant some rich gentleman volunteering at a GI hospital, Lon (James Marsden), who she got engaged to. Even though the both of them moved on they still never forgot about that perfect Summer they fell in love. Allie decides to visit Seabrook one more time before she makes it official with Lon. What she didn't expect to happen, sure did, she fell back in love with Noah. Now confused as can be she had to make a decision about who she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Decades later, in a nursing home, a man reads a journal to a woman who has suffered from alzheimers disease. She suddenly remembers she was the girl in the story he was reading her and he was Noah, the young man in the story. Her memory only lasted for a couple minutes until she acted like she didn't know him again. Many men think this movie is just a chick flick but it really isn't. It's enjoyable for everyone to watch and shows that theres love really like that.
