Movie Review, The Notebook

The Notebook was filmed in 2004 and directed by Nick Cassavetes, and written by Nicholas Sparks. In the beginning, it starts out as an old man named Duke, who is played by James Garner, reading a story to a woman at the nursing home whose memory is slipping. The old man reads about a young couple who meets at a carnival in Seabrook Island, South Carolina and fall in love. Noah and Allie are the main characters, who are the two who meet at the carnival and fall in love. Noah is played by Ryan Gosling and Allie is played by Rachel McAdams. During the movie it flashes back to the time Noah and Allie were together which takes place in 1940, and then it goes back to the present, where the old man, Duke, is reading the story to the woman at the nursing home. It continues on like that.

The Notebook had a total of 7 nominations and 11 wins for awards. It was nominated for MTV Movie Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and a BMI Film Music Award. One award that I always remember is the Best Kiss Award which Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams won. This was a MTV Movie Award.

This is my favorite movie of all times. I’m usually not into the really lovey dovey movies, but this one just gets me. First of all, Rachel McAdams is one of my favorite actresses, so that makes it better. Other than that, I just love the story. I love how there’s just a little bit of everything in it too. There’s romance, drama, and humor, so that just makes it better. I would recommend this movie to basically anyone, and even guys. Believe it or not I know a guy that this is his favorite movie. I don’t think it’s a bad thing either. It’s more than a love story.
