Film: The Notebook (2004)



One of the best and most beautiful romance stories ever written, Nick Cassevetes, director, portrays the characters perfectly and sentiment oozes from every scene in this film. Rachel mcAdams and the gorgeous Ryan Gosling are perfect in their roles.
Equally lovely is the telling of the story in a style reminisent of the 'Titanic' in which the old lady recalls her love story. An old man reads this story from a notebook to an elderly lady in a care home. The story has not been made cliched or overly lovey-dovey but maintains the emotive deep compassion between the two characters right to the end. I defy you not to cry... Forget teenage vampire romances, chick flicks and romcoms this is the love story that little girls dream of (although perhaps without the tragedy...)
