The Notebook(movie)

Behind every great love is a great story


I've read the book before but it was only last night when I watched the movie. There was a slight difference between the book and the movie but anyhow it was still a great one.
Great story and I love it.
Some of the quotes that I love ( from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332280/quotes)


Young Noah: Get in the water.
Young Allie: No! I'm scared.
Young Noah: [yelling] Get in the water, woman! Get in the water!
Young Allie: [looks at him, puzzled]
Young Noah: [calmly] No I'm sorry baby, please just get in.
Young Allie: [hesitates]
Young Noah: [once his friends start yelling again] GET IN THE WATER!

*** It's one of the scenes that I like especially the look on Noah's eyes when he yelled and suddenly composed himself and tried to speak calmly, my gosh! That was so cute and romantic.


Noah: I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.
*** After all life is not about the greatest accomplishments that you've made but the love that you give and you get from the people around you that matters most.


Young Allie: Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late.
Young Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.
Young Allie: You wrote me?
Young Noah: Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over
[kisses Allie]

*** This is such a romantic part and so passionate.


Duke: That's my sweetheart in there. Wherever she is, that's where my home is.
*** Wow! Who wouldn't melt if you heard this line from the person you love?


Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.
*** That's what you call through good times and bad times.


Allie: Do you think our love can make miracles?
Duke: I do.

*** smile


[last lines]
Allie: Do you think our love, can take us away together?
Duke: I think our love can do anything we want it to.
Allie: I love you.
Duke: I love you, Allie.
Allie: Good night.
Duke: Good night. I'll be seeing you.

*** Got a teary-eye on this part. You know it tells me that true love makes miracle and nothing can come between two people who truly love each other.


Duke: They didn't agree on much. In fact they rarely agreed on anything. They fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday...
Young Noah: [Allie and Noah are fighting] Don't push me!
[Allie pushes Noah anyway]
Duke: ...But in spite their differences, they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other.

*** Their craziness for each other was something that is so heart jumping.


Noah: Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone.



Maybe one day I'll also have a beautiful story to tell... a beautiful love story to share :-)
