Movie Review 26
The Notebook (Rating: 5)

This movie got so awful reviews from bloody critics. But I found it's one the best movies so far this year. It could be described as cheesy melodrama and story may be very predictable, but their acting is really amazing. Besides, every scene is so beautiful like painting.

The movie develops through a story told by an old man to an old woman at nursing home: Teenage kids, Noah and Allie (so pretty!!!) loved each other (very purely). But Noah was so poor, while Allie was so rich. Expectedly, Allie's parents (especially mom) don't want her to date Noah. Anyway, since Allie has to go to college, they had to break up. And Noah went to World War II. Several years later, Allie was engaged with some rich guy. Since Noah still loved Allie, he was shocked to death when he found out that. Lucky to him, however, before the wedding, she went to meet him!

So, who did she choose? Who are those old man and woman? I will not spoil here;p

I was surrounded by elderly people in the theatre. They are crying of course after the movie. And me too. It's really touch, emotional, and lovely. It's funny that Wall Street Journal gave it a good review, while NYT gave it shit (as always!!). Maybe it's too conservative movie.
