simply beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2007)

An old man comes to visit an old woman in a nursery home. She suffers from Alzheimer disease. He sits her down and begins to read a story to her. It's a love-story. It's the story of a dirt-poor but highly strung young man and a rich girl who has the perfect life until she meets Noah Calhoun. They fall in love but of course they cannot be together right away. It takes years before they will actually be together. Well only a stone-hearted person will not be moved by this great little movie. There's no action, there's no special effects. There is just a wonderfully acted heartwarming story about a love that conquers ( almost ) all. All actors are great especially Ryan Gosling though who is totally convincing as the lovestruck young man. Very, very highly recommended. Keep some tissues at hand though.
