Love is the life
Love is bigger and more than any social issues or
circumstances. No matter the poorness, the ages, or any social
situations break up the Love. At the end of most of the serious
relationships The Love WIN! In some relations for some
reasons couples break up; however, the true love that have a
believe that the world will gather them if not now latter and the
love inside them will never die.
“The Notebook” directed by Nick Cassavetes in 2004 tells the
story of a couple’s fifty year long fallen in love with each other
and passed in many experiences, trials and tribulations. The
movie starts in a nursing home while an old man (Noah) reads a
book for an old women (Allie) who suffers from Al-Zehaimer.
Noah is a poor boy from the country, while Allie a rich girl
from the city; they gather in Noah Village in the summer and
fall in love with each other. Whereas Allie’s mother refused this
love because the poor circumstances of Noah. She took Allie to
New York to be far away from Noah, and to let Allie forget
him. After some years Allie got engaged with a rich and
educated guy from New York. At the day of their wedding,
Allie saw the newspaper and noted that Noah Build up his home
at the same way he promise her to do when they was together.
Directly, she went to Seabrook (Noah Village) and saw him, and
he was still that time and after all these years love her and
waiting her. They prefer to stay with each other forever and
Allie’s mother was in front of the reality and this time she can’t
stop Allie from this Love. When Noah done with the book Allie
waked up from Al-Zehaimar; they fall asleep holding hands and

2. die peacefully.
This is the world gather people from different societies, homes,
and even traditions. The chance that when you fall in live with
one of them and face all the differences engaged between each
other, between your culture, and between both of your life.
“You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and
yet you were the one how taught me the value of love. You
showed me what it was like to care for another, and I am a
better man because of it. I don't want you to ever forget that.”(
Nicholas Sparks) No matter from where I came, or from where
he/ she came. The matter is how he/ she loves me and what is
he’ she doing for me to make me happy. Sometimes between the
couples they build up some dreams and imagine a lot of things
as home, children, business, or so on. By the strength of the
love these dreams become true. For example, inTHE
NOTEBOOK movie, Noah a poor man who loves Allie a rich
girl and the poorness has forbidden Noah to marry Allie. Then
Allie’s mother and the movement to New York after several
years makes Allie marry other man, but Noah from his strong
love to Allie and with his sticking in love with Allie; he worked
hard on his self and build the home that she was dreaming.
In THE NOTEBOOK movie, I felt that the love is a chance.
Don’t love who gives you money or the rich, Love the one who
loves you in all of you. The seeking in love by showing up how
Noah work hard and collect money to build up the home for
Allie and how he was waiting her without looking for new love
are some parts that attract some people and I as an audience.
More other, the last part in the movie while Noah and Allie
layout on the bed in the hospital and hold their both hands and
then died; most of people cried in this part at the cinema.
According to www.imdb.com website hundreds people comment
on THE NOTEBOOK. “This is probably one of the most
beautiful and romantic films I have ever seen!” (filmnoir500).
“Still get that same feeling in your heart.. and you'll know that
it touched you in one way or another” (hip_hop_headz). These
are some comments of people who saw The NOTEBOOK and

3. share their feelings and opinions about the movie. Also, there
are some people who advise to see the movie if someone doesn’t
see it. Although The Notebook movie was published in 2004;
however, there is a lot of people who still now recommend and
prefer to see The Notebook until now even CDs or online.Also,
after I saw this movie, I really recommend it for the best story
forever.
