The Notebook is a great romance and tear-jerker movie. In 2004 it was nominated for the Golden Trailer award, and in 2005 it won the Golden Satellite award. The plot of this movie focuses on an old man telling a story to an elderly lady in a nursing home. The story he tells her is about two young lovers. The boy is poor, but the girl is rich. The girl’s family disapproves of the boy’s family, and they move away. She waited for several years for the boy to write her, but she never got a letter from him. She decided to move on to someone else. She gets engaged. She now must decide between her fiancé and her first true love. The main actor is Ryan Gosling and the main actress is Rachel McAdams. Rachel McAdams is one of my favorite actresses. She plays the character of Allie Hamilton. Allie is from a rich family. She is very beautiful, but she falls in love with a poor man named Noah Calhoun. Ryan Gosling plays the role of Noah Calhoun. Noah is a poor man. He is a little stubborn, and can usually get people to do what he wants. The theme of this movie is romance. Most of the critics who have reviewed this movie really enjoyed it. One critic stated that this movie is “one of contemporary cinema’s most compelling and flat-out indelible love stories.” Another critic stated that it is “A fine tale that will leave romantics everywhere misty eyed.” I would say this movie is defiantly worth your time and money. I would rate it a 4 out a 5 stars. The characters in this movie act with great passion and affection. If you enjoy romance movies, than this is a good movie for you.
