It's no secret that I love the movie 'The Notebook'. Recently I was asked why do I love it so much...At the time I came up with really good answers and wish I had actually written it down...Because I rarely speak so well about something...I somehow did for this movie and although I can't remember what I had said earlier I have a whole new set of reasons for why I love the movie. It's only natural that I would write about the greatest romantic movie ever!!...At least according to me! :)
- I love that a summer romance can be more than something casual...It can be something serious
- I love that Noah and Alley's love allows the other to explore and find out about themselves rather than force the other to become what the other wants
- Their relationship is a union of choice and not force
- I love it because it showcases the innocence of love
- I love that even the most simplest and day to day routines can be enjoyed and loved if done with the right person
- I love that Noah can love Alley without going over the top, mushy and being all sissy about it
- It shows that two people who are meant to be together will find a way to be together
- It shows that despite faults you can still love someone unconditionally
- Noah's love for Alley is amazing because it helps make him a better man in so many ways
- I love that he loves her almost to the point of insanity
- The movie shows that life does give you second chances. Better make the most of what you'll get
- It also shows never to take the other for granted otherwise once the person's gone, a part of you is gone with them
- That you've got to have faith no matter how difficult and unfair the situation you're in may be
- I love that it shows you can always be romantic no matter what your age
- I also love that it showed; when you truly love someone you can let them go and they really do come back to you
- That it is possible to love more than one but the 'one', the so called soulmate, will be different from others
- It's possible to live without the person but yet not possible to live without that person. I.E. they moved on with their lives yet couldn't let go
- That you can let your guard down around the person you love and be yourself
- That even though you know that person has hurt you and will continue hurting you (as all humans do) you will still love them.
Although I know that such kind of love is only for the movies...Yes, the pessimist in me will not be quietened down!...It's still lovely to see such a well made movie...Read the book recently and I still say the movie's better...Though the book's more practical...Explains a lot of questions I had while I watched the movie...Be that as it may, nothing can capture the chemistry of people in love like that in this movie.
P.S. It's been 3 years now and The Notebook still remains in the top 5 of my all time favorite movies list. :)
