The Notebook

Looking into this blog, I have read an article about The Vow, a movie with Rachel McAdams, an actress who I particularly appreciate.

Consequently, now,  I would like to talk about an other movie starring her and Ryan Gosling. This movie is entitled The Notebook, (« N’oublie Jamais » in french) and it was released in 2004.

It is the story of a woman who have the Alzheimer’s disease and who live in a retirement home. Each day, Noah reads her the same book. This is the book where Allie has recorded its own story when she learned her illness. Not to forget her feelings, she wrote, and Noah reads to her her own words.

Behind them, we will discover Allie (the old woman) in the thirties, madly in love with a young man, Noah (the reader). Her mother will do anything to keep her, her situation is not considered good enough.
After years of separation, at the end of the Second World War, Allie is ready to marry a rich lawyer. When she reads the newspaper, she learns the return of Noah, the mood takes him again. Escaping a life of convenience, the two young people meet and discover that their love remained intact. They spend the rest of their lives together, until Allie lost memory..

I must say that the end of this movie is not really cheerfull and I could cry each time I see it ahah. But, for people who like drama and romance, I really recommend you to watch it !

And you ? Have you seen this film ? what is your opinion ?

  1. I saw this movie and it’s my favorite romantic comedy. I also adore Rachel McAdams, in The Vow and in this movie (I saw she plays in a movie released few month ago but I don’t remember the title…)
    I cried a lot when I watched it, but it’s realy a wonderful description of the real love which crosses war and seperation !!

  2. I saw this film, I couldn’t tell you how much time! I adore it! It’s one of my favourite films! But I must acknowledge it, I’m completely fan of Ryan Gosling and I look at all the films in which he plays (finally almost…)

  3. I have see this film and I love it . I board it. At the end I had a lot of compassion for the man, I found it very sad for him but many beatiful and touching…

  4. I’ve seen this film and I cried to at the end ahah. But I really like this film.

  5. I have already seen this film three times. It’s a pleasant story but I must say that the parallel drawn with the old characters is a little bit unnecessary. Actually, Ryan Gosling -who played really well- is for me the only point of this creation which is really interesting.

  6. Oh my god.. This movie is really touching, When I watched it I cry a lot. It’s a beautiful romance, and the actors are great !
    I love the music, I have it in my Ipod !
    The end of the movie is really good and I like the morality

  7. OK I JUST READ RYAN GOSLING SO I WILL COMMENT AS A FANGIRL (no ok)

    To be honest, Ryan doesn’t need to play is this kind of film, I have to say that the film is lovely and touching because he was dating with Rachel Mc Adams at this time but no. It’s too easy for him to play as the man crazily in love. I love him in his dark roles.. Or in Blue Valentine as least, this film is so much better.
