I Read to Her and She Remembers


The movie I chose is The Notebook. I chose this movie because it impressed me and I know I’m not the only one who loves this movie. This movie is one of my favorite movies. I love it, I crave it. Whenever I watch it I want to watch it again. I enjoyed watching this film not only because it had a meaning to it, because it wasn’t predictable at all. It’s not like the movies that Hollywood or Bollywood make nowadays that have no point and are just funny.
In this film, there is an old man called Noah telling an old woman Allie Hamilton, a beautiful story of two young people a long time ago, that she sure heard before. These two youngsters met at the carnival. They then ended their blissful relationship because her parents especially her mother did not like the boy because he wasn’t wealthy enough, so they moved to elsewhere. Allie was heartbroken by this; she waited for a letter on the mail for quite a while, then passed days, months, and years of no letter on the mail. She had taken a decision to move on and forget all about the boy. Then Allie met a striking beautiful wealthy man and got married to him. The day she was trying her wedding dress on she grabs the newspaper of that day and finds her first love on the first picture, she then goes to his old house. When she got there she got out of her car and said these exact words: I saw your picture on the paper and I just passed by to see if you’re okay. Their feelings never died. They were still there. Allie had to take a hard decision, who to choose, her first love or the handsome wealthy husband.
