The Notebook is categorized in the romance genre. The movie is about a couple who fall in love and nothing could ever change that. Starting off the film shows an old man reading a book to an elderly woman who is in a nursing home. The story read by the old man is about a young woman named Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) who is sophisticated; and a young man named Noah Calhoun, (Ryan Gosling) who happens to be carefree. The two meet at a carnival and after that moment; ignoring their differences they fell deeply in love. After a while their differences showed and were noticeable to Allie’s parents. When Allie is forced to move and attend college everything had changed. Allie gave up on Noah and had moved on to a wealthy man due to not receiving letters from Noah. On the other hand Noah had written letters to Allie for a year and gave up on her but completed the promise between the two. After seeing an article in the newspaper of Noah, all the unanswered questions seemed to finally be answered. The desire off this story is quite simple; you should never let the differences in a situation influence your decision. Most of the reviews I had read towards the movie The Notebook were positive and agreeable. One review quoted that the film is enjoyable to watch and meaningful. I would agree on this feedback for the film due to the conflicts and moments the two share together. Another review said that it is quite a sad movie; I also agree on this statement, The Notebook happens to have a few scenes’s where it does get emotional, but overall the movie itself is fun to watch. My overall opinion on the movie The Notebook is that it is worth going to see and that it happens to be one of my favorite movies.
