Really enjoyed this romance movie

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2014)

The story weaves on while leaving breadcrumbs here and there, weaving back and forth between the old couple with the notebook, and the young couple's improbable love. The movie depicts one of so many Utopian conditions which broken hearted lovers would really prefer over their own sad endings. I really like Ryan Gosling's acting here. He can really maintain the calm character overall yet able to let go bursts of emotions. Rachel McAdams' performance provided the movie with the character in conflict well enough. But for me, I prefer that the character Allie can be played by other actresses who have more beautiful face than her. What's mentionable is that Gena Rowlands and James Garner, playing the older versions, can give acting performances which can balance what Gosling and McAdams have done and retained their characters. I like how this movie is even completed nicely even more with performance by Joan Allen, James Marsden, Sam Shepard, and Kevin Connolly
