“Every great love starts with a great story...” This is probably one of the most poignant and compelling heart-wrenching stories you will ever read ~ “The Notebook ” Directed by Nick Cassavetes, this adaptation of author Nicholas Sparks bestselling novel contemplating loves obligations and responsibilities, that unique balance of fire and calm, revolves around Noah Calhouns (James Garner) regular visits to a female patron (Gena Rowlands) of an area nursing home. Calhoun reads from an old, faded notebook containing the sweeping account of a young couple (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) whose love affair was tragically put to a halt after their separation in the midst of World War II. Seven years later, the couple was reunited, and, despite having taken radically different paths, they found themselves unable to resist the call of a second chance. “Poets often describe love as an emotion that we cant control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. Thats what it was like for me. I didnt plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and thats why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. Ill never forget a single moment of it.” “I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and Ive led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but Ive loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..” “The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe weve lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them weve found each other. And maybe each time, weve been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come” “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 dont want you to ever forget that.” “I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream Ive ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ” “Poetry, wasnt written to be analysed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding.” And i guess it is probably true that poetry is not for the eyes that read and comprehend the wordings, rather, you are using your ears trying to see. It is gotta be able to use your inner soul to relate and connect emotionally to the heart without explanations. It is an art of communicating without the needs of understanding. The only common language that serves as the mother tongue of human race. Teacher Lily Ann Comilang-de Vera, u will like this movie ^^
