the notebook

The movie The Notebook brings forth a great amount of emotion and affection. This story,

originally written by author Nicholas Sparks, follows a couple through the ups and downs of

love. The great portion of the movie is a flashback looking into the lives of two young people

smitten for each other. Even when distance and other lovers separate them, the two find their

way back to each other. In this movie the theory that love conquers all proves to be a major

theme.

This movie, origianlly a novel, starts with the Noah (Ryan
Gosling) and Allie (Rachel

McAdams) in their late years. It becomes apparent that Allie suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

Noah reads to her daily from a diary, but who he really is and show wrote the stories in this

book remain unknown throughout most of the movie. It then flashes back to when they first

met. They were teenagers at the time, and it did not take long for them to be inseparable and in

love. Allie, coming from a wealthy family, was soon forbidden from dating Noah. Her parents

thought their daughter deserved someone better then a mineworker.
Allie's family moves away

from the town, and they do not contact each other for the few years that she is gone. During this

time, Allie meets a soldier while she is a nurse during a war. Noah goes off to war, and he

writes to his former love everyday. She is unaware of this, though, because her mother hides

each and every one of them. Allie becomes engaged to her new boyfriend. Upon returning,

home, she meets back up with Noah. Here, is where I find the most intense and important

scene. Noah wants her back, and it is evident she feels the same way, but she now has a

fiancé. After a long, grueling scene she goes back to her man, Noah.
Throughout the entirety of

the movie, it flashes back and forth between the past and the present.
At the end of the movie,

Noah tells Allie that the story he
