Stunning Movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2011)

I've seen The Notebook quite s few times and though it is the pure definition of a sappy love film, it draws me in with it's story every time. I saw the film a couple of days ago on Oxygen and I remembered why I truly like this movie. With its era in time and the flash backs between past and present it creates a wonderful story line of true love that opens your heart to all the possibilities in reality. Though reality's story can never be as compelling as Noah (Ryan Gossling) and Allie's (Rachel McAdams), one can only dream. The actors in this particular film did an outstanding job at portraying the Southern classes in that specific time period and in creating an immense chemistry between the two characters. I personally have never read the book, but this movie conveys so much emotion and I can't fathom how much emotion is portrayed through the book. This movie is the ultimate chick flick and as a guy I'm not afraid to admit that I truly enjoy it and have actually cried from it.
