True love- a rare thing with the shown intensity

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2005)

The movie was absolutely phenomenal to only be topped by Phantom of the Opera. It was so amazingly adorable how they originally met- the cuts back to present time as Noah and Ally are 70 year-old portraying the strength of true love even though the mind may wander to unknown places. I cried along with (Noah) James Garner when Ally had to be sedated but was even more in tune with him than ever at that point. He patiently waits for her mind to return occasionally and for a short amount of time. The funny thing is that one cannot find that kind of love as often as it used to be. In the movie, there is an actual courtship before the first date with the tug of war game going on between Noah and Ally romantically. If only I could find that same intensity of feelings- and to top that off, this summer romance took place when they were both 17- as am I. A perfect time to start such a thing. Although I must say that my favorite scene or rather scenes take place when the rainstorm comes barreling through and they "fall" for each other again along with the scene of the young love courtship. And nothing beats the scene with Noah's dad telling stories of when Noah was younger. So cute and adorable in every way! Noah (Ryan Gosling) is without a doubt my forever and always leading man!
