The saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover", well that saying could not be more accurate than it is here. When I tell you what the pick of the week is, I don't want you to judge me based on this pick. Every movie has an audience that it aims to please. In some cases they inadvertently go further, and capture the audiences of various likes and dislikes. Our pick for this week is the 2004 romantic classic "The Notebook".
"The Notebook" is a love story that follows a young couple through the trials and tribulations of life, a young pauper named Noah (Ryan Gosling) and the wealthy Allie (Rachel McAdams). A modern day Romeo & Juliet, "The Notebook" follows Allie and Noah through war, other love interests, and dealing with different social classes. Told from the perspective of an elderly man (played by James Garner) who is telling the tale of these two young lovers to his wife (played by Gena Rowlands). The mystery of why he is telling this story to his wife has a meaning and purpose, but the question is, why?
Yes this is a romantic drama, aka chick flick, but when I started this blog post with "Never judge a book by it's cover", I meant it. This is a well told and well made movie. Sure it is a heart warming story but trust me guys, this is a good flick. I definitely and confidently recommend "The Notebook". Until next week happy viewing.
