Just finished “The Notebook”

Submitted by Walmartmaster t3_z8bqwv in movies

I’m an 18 year old boy. For years I thought the notebook was some Facebook mom movie that was not for me whatsoever. I love romance movies but the stereotype of the notebook being for Facebook moms always pushed me away.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I decided to watch it today. I have not stopped crying. I loved it so much but oh my god was it emotional. I don’t cry at movies often but it had me crying like a baby. I never knew the plot prior but I’m glad I went in blind.

I will not spoil anything. But please. No matter who you are. Watch the notebook.

Girls get mad at me whenever I point out that the female character is a cheater. A friend tried to justify it by saying "yeah but it doesn't count because it's the love of her life"

My favorite behind the scenes trivia for this: Gosling and McAdams apparently hated each other on set, got into some squabbles and would storm off the set sometimes. But they had obvious sexual chemistry, like really obvious; their hips are practically twitching for each other in some scenes. Months after the shooting was over and they were promoting the movie, apparently they just acknowledged they had the hots for each other and became an item for a while. Its like when two kids have crushes for each other and pretend they hate each other cuz they cant admit it.

Wow! Did not know this. Watched that movie a lot in the 80s. Cool trivia. Thanks for sharing! Just checked IMDB, he is the son of Gena Rowlands! He directed his mom in this fine film.

He was also Nic Cage's henchman in Face/Off, the bald guy who says "No more drugs for that man."

I haven't see The Notebook yet, but I do love Rachel McAdams. I recommend 2 other chick flicks that she's in - 'The Time Traveler's Wife' and 'About Time'. You know that Fuck, Kill, or Marry game? She's the one you marry. :)

This one wrecks me every time! Have to say my favorite Rachel McAdams role is Regina George in Mean Girls. Absolutely love that movie! And I'm almost 46

Ryan Gosling in The Notebook is to young women, what Patricia Arquette is to young men in True Romance.

Two fictional beings that the opposite sex can only dream of finding in the real world.

After seeing this Kalax video the other day, I decided I needed to see this movie:

Love the music paired with these scenes.

I secretly love tearjerkers.
