The Notebook is a 2004 romantic film directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks.

The film stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a young couple who fall in love during the early 1940s. Their story is narrated from the present day by an elderly man,telling the tale to a fellow nursing home resident.

Allie Hamilton is a girl from a wealthy family spending summer in Seabrook. At a carnival, Allie meets Noah Calhoun, a local boy who works at the lumber mill. Over the summer, their romance blooms and they spend every moment together.

Allie's parents disapprove of her relationship with Noah and she and Noah get into an argument. Allie and Noah break up, but immediately regret the decision. Allie's family leaves Seabrook the next day and Noah, devastated, writes her one letter every day for a year which her mother hides. After Allie doesn't reply to him, Noah moves to Atlanta. After the attacks on Pearl Harbor, he enlists in the army for World War II while Allie attends college.

Like a puzzle within a puzzle, the story of Noah and Allie is just the beginning. As it unfolds, their tale miraculously becomes something different, with much higher stakes...

剧情简介:

笔记本上,秀美的字迹,记载着发生在那个夏天的爱情。Allie(蕾切尔·麦克亚当斯饰)是富有人家的千金,她随家人来到小镇避暑。在一个充满梦幻的游乐场,邂逅了Noah(莱安·高斯利饰)。Noah没有钱,却活的很快乐。Allie在他那学会了自由,得到了欢笑,两人很快热恋起来。然而在Allie父母的阻挠下,相爱的两个人,就被分开在夏天结束的那一刻。随着Noah的365封信被偷偷藏起,Allie在7年后终于放弃了等待。就在她要步入教堂的前一天,突然在报纸上看到了Noah曾许诺给自己建造的白色房子。一切记忆,全部苏醒……

也许,应该苏醒的,不是故事中的,而是听故事的人。

精彩影评:

• 看多了轰轰烈烈的爱情片,会觉得这部片子的故事很平淡。但是,此片贵在真实,细腻的描摹出了爱情的模样,大量的细节和演员真挚的表演起到了画龙点睛的作用。让感动,就像缓缓流淌的溪水,慢慢地流入心底……

• 真正的爱情
不是年少的萌动,
不是雨中的热吻,
也不是久别的缠绵;

而是
在多年以后,
当我已老到无法记起你
记起我们的时候,
你还会守在我的身旁,
默默地为我读着我们的故事,
一遍又一遍,
像是一声声温柔而坚定的呼唤,
直至我找得到回来的路。
