The Notebook

"I would like to die; they wouldn't let me to"-> "You cant have everything in life" The film starts with such a dialog, but then what it shows is that if you are determined you can get everything in life.

Your heart will dance and weep to the tunes of this movie. Yeah this looks like just another teen love story set in astounding locales. But there is lot more to it. The film is set in an entertaining story within a story style where both these stories converge at the end. Though I felt the ending was a bit sudden and could have been a lot better. The acting was spot on as were the tracks.

However the main reason this movie holds acclaim is the fact that it makes you feel. The nonchalant eyes of Ryan speak volumes and make you delve deep into the story. There were two very touching scenes in this movie. One where Rachel's fiance (after coming to know of Ryan) says " I have three options: One, I shoot him. Two I give him a damn. Three I let him have you. But none of these let me have you... I love you" This was just one example of hoe this movie touches you... Go and watch it. Its a story about two souls who had all differences for which they fought but only one thing in common: They were crazy about each other.

Overall 7.5/10
