An emotional masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2004)

I thought I was going to get in an accident driving home after watching this, I just could not stop thinking about it. If this movie doesn't move you nothing will. It is full of passion, romance, and emotion. The use of the flash backs makes your love for the characters so much stronger. The whole movie is layered with beauty. The casting for this film was very well done. Ryan Gosling has a lot of gravitational pull here in his depiction of Noah. His charming performance shows how much potential he has. You can never go wrong with James Garner. Sam Shepard, and Joan Allen put in very strong supporting roles as parents of the young lovers. The only downfall to such a beautiful story is that everyone is going to go home unsatisfied with there own true love. So just remember it is just a movie and make sure you have plenty of tissues with you when you watch it.
