How many times have you stared at something reminiscent about your lost love and struggled to get back to today? If you find it really hard, this movie isn't the one for you. If you find it hard and yet find that freezing point titillating, you’ll have this movie's background score playing in your head for the rest of your life.
Found a lost love who has lost her memory to dementia, is simple as an one-liner. The Notebook, is a riveting love story with full of Platonic love with a permissible indulgence of Venus love.
An old man (James Garner) reads a notebook juxtaposing both as helpless and poised to a woman of his age (Gena Rowlands), trying to make her recover vainly from her dementia.
The very premise is romantic, set back in 1940’s in the south Carolina in the backdrop of a highly class-conscious American society, with white suit wearing black butlers.The way Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) meet and fall in love could remind you the dozens of Indian romantic films that has the caste difference conflict theme.
In this movie nothing seems to be in a haste, except us rooting for the leads to be together as soon as possible. They lie down on the middle of the road in the middle of peace between the two world wars. The infectious nonchalance of the lovers and the un-complementing and unsurfaced societal codes sets the movie in motion.
Both Noah and Allie as though casting an evil eye on themselves, go past the intoxicating present to the unknown future. You can't help but bead your eyes everytime both of them sink into each other’s arms after an argument.
Like in every lovelorn’s fate where he bequeaths his destiny to God and death, Noah does the same enrolling into the US army for the Worldwar. But, thank heavens this doesn't take the road an Ernest Hemingway's novel takes.
No one can resist sympathizing Noah’s evolution he attained the hard way. But, all that rigidity waters down catching a glimpse of his lost love. Despite both of them have starkly changed it was never good enough to let go of the hopes of their first love.
The aged Noah (James Garner) despite less screen-space steals the show from the passionate young Noah (Ryan Gosling); The latter looked in his immense feelings a bit cliched and the former is inexhaustive,as the old Noah never gets tired of reliving his youth for his ladylove. We could, but the light-hearted Higher existence cannot bear the tiresome exercise of love, again; So He decides the couple unite in His Abode.
This movie will rejuvenate all of your first love memories if it was successful or haunt your existence and make it inert, freezing in that nonchalance of Noah and Allie if it was a failure.
