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

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Well, Tiffany's is a jewelery store in new York and the actors do not keep on eating breakfast at Tiffany's throughout the movie. Infact, apart from the opening scene showing Holly(Audrey Hepburn) bunching a bun outside Tiffany's there is not eating anywhere....

So why is the movie so named? Holly is a famous socialite in New York. She describes herself as a wild thing..but the truth is she wants to run away from the cage of life....she has no idea where she belongs...much like the nameless cat that she keeps as pet. Her life is hollow, but she does not know how to fill it....Though she drapes herself in fashionable clothes and maintains a charming smile..she is sad at heart..despite being surrounded by men all the time, she knows she belongs to nobody....she knows all of them are 'rats'..perhaps the reason for her keeping a cat...

she likes Tiffany's and the glitter of diamonds..because thats what she is..she glitters like diamonds...but at the interior she is no more than a blunt trite glass...she is a 'real phony'...

The hollow life has been cast in an utterly lovable Romantic comedy..U will fall in love with Audrey..(I already have ...[:P])..and Peppard's innocent smile will enchant..I deem the movie to be a satire..see what you think..

Overall 8/10

Roman Holiday

This movie needs no introduction...It is one of the sweetest movies on celluloid. Its a painting of the colors of life in black and white...

The movie describes the escapades of a youthful spirit embellished in heavy royal drapery. Everything in her life is based on a "schedule"..Nevertheless, her pubescent heart want to break free, to enjoy the life..the movie then moves on a romantic, fairy tale of a news correspondent's tryst with "Her Highness"....In some senses it is the Cindrella's story reversed..... Just as Cindrella had to return back before her shoes gave out, Anne too had to return to the prison of royalty..He sense of duty to her country prevented her from enjoin herself..

Arent we all like that.. We do things that we are supposed to do, but we may not like it....A life in schedule is life confinement within sky high Bastille walls....and to remain within this system and perform our duties we need some escapades, free from the worries of daily life..

Are you still reading my review? what a sucker!!!! go and catch this movie if you havent already....if you have, watch again if you havent thought about all these..
