The Notebook (2004)

The Notebook 2004 – In a care facility, Duke (James Marsden), a resident, has to get permission to read to a fellow resident, Ms Hamilton (Gena Rowlands), on a daily basis, as Ms Hamilton’s health is deteriorating, she who has Alzheimer’s. The story is always the same one, which he reads out of his notebook, and which she sometimes remembers that she has heard before, is captivated by but cannot remember how it turns out. It details the love affair between Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) beginning in 1940 on Seabrook Island, South Carolina, when Allie was 17 and on the brink of her college life, most likely at Sarah Lawrence in faraway New York. Their relationship was improbable because of their differing social classes and outlooks which led to their relationship being characterized by constant arguments with each other out of their passion. While Noah was a carefree and working-class local who had a 40-cent/hour job at a lumber yard, Allie was from a privileged family, her mother (Joan Allen) grew up in Seabrook Island and where they were staying only for the summer. There were many obstacles to a Noah/Allie happy ending, most specifically WWII and her parents, especially her mother, who did not approve of the relationship and did whatever she could to end it. That happy Noah/Allie ending is not a guarantee due to these obstacles. As the story progresses and as the daily realities of the present day occur, the reason why Duke feels the need to tell Ms Hamilton the story and what he hopes she gets out of it becomes more and more evident.
