The Notebook

he was pulling his silver ring back and forth from his finger.. it makes him think twice. should he stay to relive either the anguish or the happy memories of their love? the movie was promising him something. it is just up to him up to what extent he wanted to be consumed.

I am nothing special; of this i am sure. i am a common man with common thoughts, and i've led a common life. there are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but i've loved with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

these were the first lines Noah Calhoun uttered as the movie opened. glad i was still able to follow with him through (and i posted it here too before!). it was truly a love story... genuinely it was. it is. i cannot capture the right words that could seem to fit the entirety of the film. CAPTIVATING. sure it was. unlike other books-turned-to-movie type, The Notebook has left me astonishingly sappy, in tears... well i wasn't actually sure if it were tears of joy or sadness or empathy but whatever has been drawn from that, it definitely mean something extraordinary. there was no room for comparison to what the film has turned out from having it extracted from Nicolas Sparks'. the important parts of it were there. *sigh of relief* my fellas had shed their say for the movie and so i wouldn't elaborate much.

love, seemingly is truly timeless. eternal. some believe that there's no such thing as PERFECT or even IDEAL. but the love story of Noah and Allie has truly captured that love that will last for eternity. it spoke of devotion and unconditional love. Noah stood by her, even it hurts... like a spear stabbed right thru. she was his life. his home.. until their last breath, with the few moments of Allie recovering from dementia, their fingers interlocked, side by side, they kissed and said goodbye, but not for long until their next life.

naturally, he caught himself crying. he cannot say a word. he pretended not to feel a thing. but his tears are telling us more than his lips can. but he carries it through. i know he will. they will.
