“It’s not going to be easy. It’s going to be really hard. We’re going to have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.” A love like this is not easily found. It’s the love that little girls dream of finding their whole lives. This quote is from one of the most well known love stories, The Notebook. The movie, written by Nicholas Sparks and directed by Nick Cassavetes, first premiered June 25, 2004. The movie followed the lives of Allie Hamilton (Rachael McAdams) and Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) and their passionate summer love that never ended. This is one of the best love stories ever made and it really shows that true love can exist.
The Notebook, written by Nicholas Sparks and directed by Nick Cassavetes is a story told by an elder man named Duke. He is reading to a woman in a nursing home. His story is about a seventeen year old girl, Allie Hamilton who falls in love with a young boy named Noah Calhoun. Their summer love is cut short when her parents ban her from seeing Noah. The two go their separate ways but when Allie is proposed to by another man all she can think about is Noah. She goes back to Seabrook, the town in which they first met, to see him and finds that her love for Noah never went away. She tells her fiancé that she can’t marry him and returns to the house with Noah to spend the rest of their lives together. Throughout the movie it is reavealed that Noah and Allie are the two elderly people in the nursing home. Allie is suffering from dementia and Noah reads her their story everyday to get her to one day come back to him. The Acting in this movie is what truly makes it so great. From the very beginning of the film Ryan Gosling does such a great job of showing Noah’s immediate attraction and curiosity about Allie. From the second he sees her at the carnival and forces her to go out on a date with him no matter what he had to do
