Great Love Story

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2005)

I must say that this film really moved me like no love story ever did. Perhaps it's because there's so much to identify with. I'm male and no youngster and something true rang when I watched this film. Maybe it's because I am older and have experienced so much of it. The relationship between the older Noah and Allie really ices it. Rachel McAdams' portrayal of the young Allie got to me like she was my own sweetheart. Her youthful exuberance is absolutely captivating! I hope that many young men and women get to see "The Notebook". It could really do a lot to help sensitize a generation that might not so likely to indulge in "old fashioned" feelings;or to display them.
