MOVIE TIME - The Notebook

THE NOTEBOOK is secular movie that is one of my favorites! My friend Laarni was the one who advised me to watch this movie, but she strongly advised watching it with my husband. She's been saying a lot of nice things about this movie. So when i had a copy of this, i watched it alone and.. WOW! I cried. not just cried, but cried cried cried a lot! Twas really nice and true-it should be watched with your partner. I was always asking my late husband to come watch the movie with me but i know his likes- he is not into love stories. Baduy yun sa kanya. But one night he told me this exact words, "Ney, maganda pala yung the notebook. Pinanood ko." Nice he appreciated it. I told him it's nicer if you've agreed to watch it with me. The story... my rating is 9, but parental guidance is needed.



The Notebook is an epic love story centered around an old man who reads aloud to an older, invalid woman whom he regularly visits. From a faded notebook, the old man's words bring to life the story about a couple who is separated by World War II, and is then passionately reunited, seven years later, after they have taken different paths. Though her memory faded, his words give her the chance to relive her turbulent youth and the unforgettable love they shared.


As teenagers, Allie ( Rachel McAdams ) and Noah ( Ryan Gosling ) begin a whirlwind courtship that soon blossoms into tender intimacy. The young couple is quickly separated by Allie's upperclass parents who insisit that Noah isn't right for her. Several years pass, and, when they meet again, their passion is rekindled, forcing Allie to choose between her soul mate and class order. This beautiful tale has a particular special meaning to an older gentleman ( James Garner ) who regularly reas the timeless love story to his aging companion ( Gena Rowlands ).
