What a film is about?

THE NOTEBOOK

     

     The notebook is one of my favorite films. I was really deeply moved by this story because I love the drama and romance films.

    Maybe this film is the common and romantic story of a poor and passionate young man falls in love with rich young woman, but it is lovely for the music used and the mean characters, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

     The film starts in a nursing home with the resident Duke. He is reading a story to an old woman who is suffering from loss of memory. His story he reads is about two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun who met at a carnival and they soon fell in love with each other.

Ally was fifteen years old. She was a rich girl and Noah was seventeen years old. He was a poor boy. They spent all the summer together.

     One day, Noah brought Allie to an ancient house, in which he dreamt of buying and restoring, so they started to make love when suddenly Allie´s parents arrived and they took Allie because they did not approve their romance for their different social classes. After that, she was forced to move and go to the university although she was willing to give it up for Noah.

     For a year, he wrote 365 letters to her but she never got them because her mother, Anne did not deliver them to her.

   

  Three years later, the United States joined the World War II and Noah and his best friend Fin enlisted in the army. After the war, Noah came back to his town and he restored the antique house and many people wanted to buy it. When Allie accidentally saw the photo of Noah and his house in a newspaper, she felt divided between her first love and her commitment with Lon. Meanwhile Duke stops reading to the old lady since his children are visiting him in the nursing home.
