The Notebook



After Puree's recommendation, I watched the film named "The Notebook" last night. Thanks Puree! (I had the VCDs all along but never watch it. The cover didnt do much justice to the story cos it is so not enticing at all.)

It is definitely a fantastic timeless love story. The actor is really cute (minus his moustache). I like his character in the movie and definitely he is someone I would dream of to marry. Lets just say most girls would dream of. At least, I know puree, pukey, karen would agree with me. (Thats how hollywood movies portray idealism rather than realism) I simply love love love this film. Because many of the elements in the film are exactly what I would dream of. One such element would be their mansion by the lake. Wow! To top it up, it has a balcony overlooking the lake where I could have my afternoon tea. Plus it is situated in the countryside. What a heavenly place! In fact, it is like a paradise! That is the kind of dream place I would want to live in. (Hey Karen dear, I hope you have watched this movie. I know you will love this film. I thought of you when I watched it.) You row your boat to the lake full of beautiful swans and read a book underneath the sun with your beautiful hat while you enjoyed tea from your pinic basket. Perfect english countryside life! ooooh! So romantic! (Ok! I know I am dreaming too much recently. Oh Well! Thats what happened when you are really very free.)

Noah is a guy every girl wish they marry. I really salute his love for her. (i didn't cry but I am definitely moved by his love for her) I definitely admire his courage to keep his loved one by his side. Esp the scene when she came back the first time to meet him and then she decided to leave him again for her fiance. That scene where he spoke his true feeling to make her stay despite knowing that he is putting himself in a vulnerable position and yet he doesnt mind being hurt by her cos to him pride and his insecurity meant nothing compared to having her. It was a gamble and he took it. To him, all that matters was her.

I also love the last scene. It was painfully sweet. I was really close to tears. Girls, you should watch this. (Chill Lynn. I am gonna lend you this VCDs.) I am definitely blown away. I dont think such romance will ever exist in such pragmatic society like sg. Maybe we should all settle in Italy. A land full of romantic italians who are pretty dashing, charming, great sense of fashion, very gentlemanly and hot too. A real eye-candy! One main reason why i miss my italian days.

Well! Dont blame me for being still single. The guys here should really get themselves a good mirror and start reflecting. (oops! No pun intended.)
