This was in my wish list for a long time and finally had the opportunity to watch it over the last weekend. This was also a movie which was one of the favourites of someone who was very dear to me. As expected it was an epic. My all time best romance movie still remains to be ‘The Bridges of Madison County’ by Clint Eastwood and this comes pretty close. Also i loved ‘Message in a bottle’.
Incidentally both Madison County and The Notebook are stories read from a book. Therefore they somewhat takes a similar pattern.
I loved the surroundings and the scenories very much and found that it was mainly filmed in locations in South Carolina. It was the complete love story but with a happy ending in comparison to madison County and Message in a bottle. (Think i liked that…….)
I just loved the way the arrows lead Allie to the room where she wanted to paint from. That embrace in the heavy rain at the waterfront would be in my memory for sometime i guess. It was just soooo perfectly romantic. Could’nt have been better!
This was the special quote for me from all the lovely dialogs in th movie….
Noah: I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.
On a side note, the main stars of the movie Allie and Noah (Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling) started a relationship (I mean a real one 
) soon after the movie but……
