Yesterday(Friday) I went to see the Notebook with my mom.
THE STORY
They say you never forget your first love-that's definitley the case in THE NOTEBOOK, adapted from Nicholas Sparks' best
selling novel by director Nick Cassavetes(John Q)and screenwriters Jeremy Leven(Don Juan Demarco) and Jan Sardi
A sweeping love story told by a man reading from his faded notebook(James Garner) to a woman in a nursing home(Gena
Rowlands). The Notebook follows the lives of two North Carolina teens from very different worlds. Though her upbringing takes
place in an antebellum mansion and he grew up in the kind of house where muscians jam on the porch, that doesn't stop Allie(Rachel
Mcadams) and Noah(Ryan Gosling)from spending one indelible summer together before they are separated, first by her parents
and then by World War 2. After the soldiers come home everything is different. Allie is engaged to a successful businessman
and Noah lives alone with his memories in a 200 year old house he lovingly restores. But when Allie sees an article in the
local paper about Noah's handiwork she knows that she's got to find him and make a decision once and for all about the path
her life and her love must take.
