The Notebook - A Love Story

"The Notebook" is among the most moving and emotionally successful romantic flicks released in the last 20 years. It often appears as a top contender for preferred movie among ladies. It was directed by Nick Cassavetes. It is reliant on the hottest novel, of the same name, by Nicholas Sparks. It was produced on an incredibly low budget of only $30 million. The structure of the film adds significantly to the story's successful development as the plot deals essentially with the destiny of two young, unlucky lovers along the lines of 'Romeo and Juliet '. In 'The Notebook ', seventeen years old Allie ( Rachel McAdams ), the girl of a loaded family, falls crazy about a local country boy, Noah ( Ryan Gosling ), while on holiday in the early 1940s. But the story is told old male patient in a retirement home ( James Gather ), named Duke, who is reading the tale of the 2 young lovers to a fellow patient ( Gena Rowlands ).

She is a victim of dementia and has lost her memory. The tale of Noah and Allie starts at a carnival on Seabrook Island in North Carolina. After well-intentioned buddies help them to improve familiarised, their feelings deepen all though the summer they spend together. During one scene, they visit a deserted house called the Windsor Plantation and Noah exposes his plan to one day own and reconstruct the property. Allie's elders are less impressed with Noah's prospects as a likely man for their child and forbid her to see Noah, who reluctantly believes her mum and dad to be right and he is not sufficiently good for her.

As a consequence, they split and Allie returns to her home. Noah is destroyed by the separation and writes to Allie each day for a year, without getting an answer.At last , he enrolls to battle in World War Two, while Allie attends Sarah Lawrence Varsity in NY State.In the meantime, Allie has met an hurt infantryman named Lon, a beautiful young barrister from a well-connected family. He also impresses Allie's elders and the 2 youngsters get engaged. The tale of Allie is deftly woven and the emotional stress is high across the film as the spectator identifies and sympathizes with the plight and disinclined acknowledgment of their destiny which descends on both Noah and Allie.

The stress is elegantly raised again when Allie reads a story in a paper about the work Noah has carried out on Windsor Plantation. The director handles the feelings of those concerned with careful artfulness and sensitiveness. The focus is robust, without distracting sub plots as the characters ' lives unfold. The young actors and the older ones - handle the roles with an ease and grace the story demands. The Notebook doubtless doesn't attract plenty of the fans who would rather be attending films from the 'Terminator ' tale. But for its intended audience, it's a winner.
