Romantic plot line-Katie Hooper

The movie I chose for its romantic plotline is The Notebook. The Notebook tells the story of two young adults and their summer romance which turns into true love. The main characters, Noah and Allie, come from different social classes and are eventually separated from one another. Years later, Allie is engaged but something inside her was missing. She goes back to visit Noah and its as if they picked up right where they left off. Needless to say there is a sex scene, then Allie calls off the wedding with her fiance, and she chooses to spend the rest of her life with Noah.

I loved this movie (but I love the book more). One of my favorite scenes from this movie is when Noah and Allie walk home from their first date at the movies. This is where their feelings for one another begin to spark and the connection between the two of them is impecable. Noah encourages Allie to lay in the middle of the street with him and watch the street lights change colors. They top off the evening by dancing in the street while Noah sings "I'll be Seeing You" in Allie's ear. I guess I am just a sucker for romance because I fell in love with this scene. I think it is the comfort, mystery, and the whole honey-moon stage feeling that I loved about it! It isn't cheesy and I like the way Noah treats Allie with respect yet he tells her exactly whats on his mind.

I think this plotline is different from a lot of other romantic films I have seen because it is one of those relationships that you would not "only see in the movies". I feel that this plotline falls into the category of realism because it is believable through and through.

  1. ah i love this movie! i am also a sucker for these movies! This makes me think about our class discussion and how some people think that some of these things are creepy and they wouldnt want it to happen to them, but i would love to dance in the street with a guy! I think you are right about how this movie is believable...i think that is the reason its such a good movie, its not corny and its not completely unrealistic either! good movie choice!
