THE NOTEBOOK
The Notebook is a contemporary love story set in the pre- and post-World War II era.
Noah and Allie spend a wonderful summer together, but her family and the socio-economic realities of the time prevent them from being together. Although Noah attempts to keep in contact with Allie after they are forced to separate, his letters go unanswered. Eventually, Noah professes his undying and eternal love in one final letter. Noah travels north to find gainful employment and to escape the ghost of Allie, and eventually he goes off to war.
After serving his country, he returns home to restore an old farmhouse.
A newspaper article about his endeavor catches Allie's eye, and 14 years after she last saw Noah, Allie returns to him. The only problem is she is engaged to another man. After spending two wonderful reunion days together, Allie must decide between the two men that she loves.
This story is framed by a contemporary man who is reading to a woman who suffers from Alzheimer's. The woman is understood to be Allie . . . but which of her two loves is the man reading to her?
For me it is a beautiful story.
I was delighted, because it is a romantic story, yet dramatic.
You have intrigued and hooked until the end. If hos ye have been with the intrigue of the end, I highly recommend this movie, especially if you are accustomed to watch movies love.
