Film #47: THE NOTEBOOK (2004)

This was a very beautiful film with a wonderfully romantic love story that could thaw any frozen heart (yes that was a Frozen reference, but it's true). It shows the development of two people falling in love, who are the least likely of people to end up together. The characters of Allie (Rachael McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) come from completely different backgrounds who end up battling all odds to fight for their love. You know, traditional romcom stuff. But the part that really interested me was the sub-narrative to the film of an old man telling this story to a women in a care home. That is the reason why this film should be watched, it was completely, mind-blowingly romantic. As well this film has the wonderful and famous kiss in the rain scene to tug at your heart strings.
I just realised the last few films I've watched have been romcom's which is so not like me!
