Released Feb 08/05. Based on the celebrated
novel by Nicholas Sparks, THE NOTEBOOK tells the story of
a young couple who overcome insurmountable odds to
experience the true power of love.
In a modern-day nursing home, a kind-hearted man (James
Garner) reads a tender story to another patient (Gena
Rowlands). The story begins during one glorious summer in
small-town South Carolina in the early 1940s. Noah Calhoun
(Ryan Gosling) is a blue-collar log mill worker who courts
the wealthy and sheltered Allie Nelson (Rachel McAdams).
Before long, sparks are flying and the pair is in love.
But eventually Allie's snobby parents force their
separation, and when World War II arrives, Noah heads
overseas to serve his country. In the meantime, Allie
becomes a nurse and falls for another man (James Marsden),
to Noah's dismay. Nonetheless, he buys and fixes up the
mansion he promised Allie he would one day restore, and
when he and Allie reunite just before her wedding, their
love blossoms once again. Decades later, in the nursing
home, the story reaches its heartfelt conclusion. Directed
with extreme sensitivity by Nick Cassavetes (son of costar
Gena Rowlands), THE NOTEBOOK is aided immensely by the
naturalistic performances of Gosling and McAdams, whose
chemistry is palpable!! |
