“The Notebook”

At first, when the movie showed the past details of the characters, it was boring. You cannot appreciate the movie if you don’t reach the end part. It portrayed an old man whose love to her wife is measured till eternity. Love was a never ending journey. Loving her wife is part of his life. As long as his heart is still beating, love still survives. To his last breath, he still shared his love to her wife. The setting of the film was also an old and classical feature. It showed a typical place of people wearing dress and cars whose designs are present in our museums. The wife at that time was a student nurse and the husband was a soldier. Their love was destined to be apart from each other to have a wise decision at the future. Their relationship was separated due to the will of the girl’s parents. The reason of her parents was due to the financial status of the guy that has not reached to their standards. The girl belonged to a wealthy family, while the guy is form a simple life. They both decided to part ways with each other having an agreement that they still communicate with each other through letters. The guy joined the army while the girl continued her studies in nursing. Both of them hold on to their agreement. Unknowingly, the parents of the girl kept the letter of the guy leading to doubt and misconception of the girl that the guy probably found another one. So, the girl met someone who she fells in loved with. They were both engaged. They guy still have faith that their love is still alive. He still continued to fulfil the dreams that they both promised with the girl. He went home and constructed their dream house. When he first arrived at his home place, he looked for the girl. Unluckily, he found the girl kissing with another guy. Depressed as he looked and feel; he still

    "It's a lovely story full of love and fun and adventure. I love this classy edition with illustrations that deliberately avoid linkage to the film. There is much more humor in the book than they could get into the film. The humor works very well and the characters are entrañables.Me likes adventures and actions in this book and especially how the book related to the cycle of hero…

    First of all, it is a thriller and action film. The non-stop martial arts action compiled with the conflict between the characters will keep the audience entertained and engaged. Secondly, the central plot of the relationship between the Bride and Bill, and the question of what became of their baby, will hook the audience in from the beginning and keep them hooked until the very end. The questions surrounding their relationship and the Bride’s history with his group of assassins become central right at the beginning of the film and the mystery is not completely solved until the end of the film, keeping the audience guessing the entire…

    9/11 Analysis

    1. The strong point of the movie is that it shows the parallel worlds of Lana and her uncle Paul. They both are people who try to help the world be a better place and they both end up in horrible situations in two very important cities in the United States. Lana is in Los Angeles volunteering at a Christian homeless shelter and Paul who is a Vietnam veteran tries to prevent Los Angeles from attacks just like 9/11. He suspects everyone who is of Arabic origin. They meet each other when a Pakistani gets brutally murdered. The best part of the movie is the well-assembled scenes, they are very dynamic, and that makes it that the two storylines come together so nicely. The Paul’s character is very tragic, he has suffered so much trauma in his life,…

    In the courtly love tradition, love was not really love without pain and suffering. Truly loving someone could be described as fundamentally irrational, but necessary for the love to say alive. However, it is obvious that, in this story, their love is characterized by destructive tendencies. The affair literally destroys them—it is…

    I appreciated the director’s eye for detail in each scene. Also, I enjoyed the unique personalities of each character as well as the dialogue between them. Although, this movie was created amongst thousands of other film during the studio era. It endured through the years because many considered it to be the first classic in the film noir genre in Hollywood and the standard of cinematic storytelling. Even in the present day, this cinematic masterpiece will leave audiences with a delightfully bitter…

    Paris I Love You

    Personally, I enjoyed each scene because it was not all the same but it showed different sides to love that we may all have experienced or know someone who has. The movie showed how love does not have to be just two human beings loving each other but so can vampires or mimes. Some parts in the film was sad like when the mother lost her son and she was hallucinating about seeing him and how she did not want to let him go. Also I liked the end of that scene when her husband asked her where did she get her strength from and she said God. I thought that that ending was so powerful, when you have just hit rock bottom and nothing can be done about it, God will be there to comfort and lift you back up. Another scene I enjoyed was with the muslin girl named Zarka and the boy who was studying history, how it was love at first sight. While his other friends were talking sexually to other females, this boy just had eyes for Zarka, even though she was different in ethnic, religion or where she can from did not change his love for her. I really liked when he ran after…

    A Short Film About Love

    • 1711 Words
    • 7 Pages

    This is a foreign film with subtitles so it is a little hard to watch, but definitely worth it as it explores the life of a young man who has problems forming normal relationships and instead becomes a voyeuristic stalker. Things don’t turn out the way he or the viewer expect after he begins to get close to her and even admits to her that he has been watching her. Instead of running from him and rejecting his advances outright, this rather pretty and sensual middle-aged lady begins to “help” him, probably mostly out of pity. His response was not what she expected either; he cuts his wrists and ends up in the hospital. Through their interchanges she learns more about what love is than he does. I think there is more to this film than can be gotten in the first viewing and I would like to see it again sometime.…

    The movie teaches me that loving someone is not all about happiness. It is also about the sufferings and challenges that a couple should face together in order to let their love last forever. A person would not be afraid to suffer and feel pain because he/she knows that the joy and affection he/she gets from loving someone is greater than those. Also, once a person learns how to truly love, he/she would be more than willing to fully accept the other one despite of her/his shortcomings as a person and as a partner. He/she would understand and care for her/him until the end. A true love means…
