Hello everybody !
The last
week I was talking about the movie “Eat, Pray, Love”, based on a book. This
week, I would to speak about one of my favorite movies of this “love-category”,
which is also based on a book. It is not very known, that’s why I want you to
discover it, and I want make you want to see ! So you have to remember the
title, please !!
THE NOTEBOOK
Nicholas Sparks has written this story. Four of
his books have been adapted for the cinema, for instance Message in a bottle,
or Dear John, more recently (which I recommend too!). With him, you are sure to
find all the ingredients that a love story needs, well balanced.
The
Notebook, (“N’oublie jamais” in French), directed by Nick Cassavettes in 2004, has
a real scenario, it is not a simple love story already seen and reviewed. Duke
(James Garner), a resident of a nursing home is reading a story to an other
resident (Gena Rowlands) reached to Alzheimer. Every day, he tells her the
story of Allie (Rachel MacAdams), rich heiress, and Noah (Ryan Gosling), who is
just a simple worker. Actually, she has recorded her own story, when she learns
her disease…
We are in
1940, and the Hamilton come to Seabrook for the holidays. Allie will meet Noah there,
it was the 6th June 1940, at the carnival. Immediately, they fall in
love. They will spend most of their time together, during the summer. They fight
constantly and they are constantly testing but, despite their differences, they
have one thing in common : they are crazy about each other. But the family of
Allie disagree with that, and her mother forbade her to see Noah, because of
his situation…Then, it’s time to leave for her … Noah will write letters to her
for one year, 365 letters exactly. But she will never have its. After years of
separation, at the end of the war, Allie gets ready to marry a lawyer. When she
learns by the newspaper the return of Noah …
Now, if you
are a little bit curious and if you want two hours of pleasure and
entertainment, you just have to watch this movie, trust me !!! I am waiting for
your comments and your feelings !

Hello, I totally agree with you this movie is just fantastic. I've watched it few weeks ago and I was really surprised because I didn't expect to love this movie at all. I thought that it will be a classic love story but actually this couple moved me.
RépondreSupprimerI think I'm gonna watch it again !
It is my favourite movie. Just an advice for men, if you want a girl to fall in love with you, you have to watch this movie with her...!!!
