The Notebook.

Starred by


Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling (yummm)



So finally I've watched this movie after
reading the original book for so long.
It's a remarkable love story,
epic, beautiful, romantic.
It's that kinda movie i would watch 
for the 2nd time or more.


The movie focuses on an old man reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who meet one evening at a carnival. But they are separated by Allie's parents who dissaprove of Noah's unwealthy family, and move Allie away. After waiting for Noah to write her for several years, Allie meets and gets engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon. Allie, then, with her love for Noah still alive, stops by Noah's 200-year-old home that he restored for her, "to see if he's okay". It is evident that they still have feelings for each other, and Allie has to choose between her fiancé and her first love.


So in the end she's diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease
and everybody knows one of the major symptom is 
forgetting the past.
Thus Noah reads her the story (their story) everyday,
until she can remember...

On the first page of the story book,
it says
' Read this to me and I will come back to you.'

and everytime she 'comes back'
it only lasts for not more than 5minutes... :(
and he has to keep reading keep repeating the story to her,
and also remind himself how much they've been 
so in love with each other before.

I personally think the book is so much better
but the movie is good too.
It's a highly recommended book indeed GO READ and WATCH IT!
