The Notebook’s Best Scenes!

‘The Notebook‘ is one of my all-time favourite movies. It takes pride of place on the chick-flick shelf of many girls DVD collection, waiting for those rainy days when a girl needs a little old-fashioned romance to lift her spirits!!

What makes The Notebook especially unique is not just how romantic the story is but also the fact that it is based on a true story!! And this true story is one that has never really been told before, and certainly not reflected in this light.

The film begins when Noah and Allie are first introduced to each other at a carnival. I loved that Allie played a little hard-to-get at first and that Noah chased after her… every girl loves to be chased! Right gals!

After reading the book, the movie is perfection in every sense of the word.The costumes, the cars, the scenes and  Noah’s beautiful home he built are just a few of the things I loved about this film! But, for everyone I think it really was the actors who make this movie truly magical. Ryan Gosling is perfect in his portrayal of Noah and has his serious, thoughtful and playful sides all down to a tee. Rachel McAdams is beautiful as Allie!! I think she is stunning! James Garner, as the older Noah – gives a truly believable performance and Gena Rowlands, as the older Allie, is brilliant! The whole film is simply amazing!

What the movie really reflects is that heart-warming sense of a long life filled with an unforgettable love!!

Noah and Allie’s love affair extends into old age, and unlike most love stories we see in books and films today, this story takes us beyond the mere beginning of a true love and all the way to the end!

The Notebook is ultimately an epic love story, where the underlying and most lasting message is that true love never dies.

Here are The Notebooks Best Scenes, enjoy! xx
