Let the tears pour!

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2011)

I watched The Notebook for the first time about 3 years ago (2008). I had never really fancied watching it before but it was on TV and I wanted to watch the film after it so I kept it on and watched the whole thing. It grabbed me right from the start. Sweet, fun Noah instantly falls in love with the organised Allie. He's poor. She's rich. Her family thinks it's just a "summer romance". But only they know it's real. I've watched it about 8 times and I still go through a couple dozen tissues and I whistle out of my nostrils. And I'm pretty sure my heart breaks a little every time I watch it. Needless to say, I always watch this movie alone, apart from the company of some chocolate or ice cream, because you can guarantee I'll be a mess. Every time I watch it I think to myself. There is no other man in the World quite like Noah. He loves Allie unconditionally even though she leaves for years without a word. Moral of the story. You never forget the person you love. The audience this film is aimed at is mostly women. Women who want love or has lost it. This film touches a part of you you never knew existed... Well it did for me anyway. It upsets me knowing that I will never have a Noah, but always go after the things you love the most. The characters you love and hate. Some you hate like the Mum, but then kind of understand her near to the end as she has been in Allie's shoes at sometime in her life so she know's what she is talking about. I give this film a huge 10/10. It literally is the only film that has made me think about life and love in a different way.
