The Notebook

I picked "The Notebook" for my romantic movie because it has always been my all time favorite movie since the day I saw it. I have always been a hopeless romantic and movies like this keep my hope alive. I’m sure mostly everyone has seen this movie, it being so popular and all, but it is about Ali and Noah, who fall in love as teenagers one summer. They lost contact when Ali’s parents moved away after their summer-long stay. One of the reason’s that I love this movie so much is because of the way Ali loves Noah despite their different backgrounds. She sees him for who he is, not where he came from. After years apart Ali and Noah are reunited when Ali goes back to Noah’s town in search from him, trying to know once and for all if their love was over or not. My favorite scene is when Ali is trying to storm off form Noah’s house after they have had an arugment about her fiancé and it is what Noah says trying not to lose her for the 2nd time. Noah says, “So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.” What makes this different from other plot lines and romantic movies is because it is real. Right here he is admitting that they are going to have to work at it, and that not everything is going to be perfect just because they are in love and that is what real love is. In a lot of movies it shows love being so easy and effortless and so many times the endings are “happily ever afters” which is not reality. This brings me back down to earth. They didn’t meet each other and never go through hard times. They spent years apart, Ali got engaged to another man, Noah dates other women and becomes an alcoholic, but in the end, it’s their love that conquers all.
