Hiya everyone!
I saw the film this weekend and it's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. A little disappointing b/c some of the production photos we've seen weren't actually in the film but it was still great. It's nice to have a real love story and not have to worry about other things happening in the film ya know? I almost cried during the opening credits b/c the music was so great and Nick did a GREAT job filming. I can't wait to go back and see it again and for the DVD...it's probably going to be the first DVD I ruin from watching it over and over...is that possible?
Btw...great site!!

I just had to write after seeing the movie this weekend at the sneak preview. I have to admit, I am OBSESSED! And that's saying a lot since the last thing I was really obsessed with was New Kids on the Block! (I am a 28 yr old, married, mother of two, just to give you a frame of reference)
I didn't know who Ryan Gosling was before, but OMG I do now. What an amazing actor! I just couldn't take my eyes of the screen! And the fact that he is absolutely gorgeous doesn't hurt either. There were three women in their mid-forties sitting by me, and during an RG shirtless scene on of them said, "He is so HOT!" It was hilarious.
And I haven't heard so many people openly sobbing in a movie since "Forrest Gump." Not just sniffling, I mean sobbing. This one even surpassed "Titanic" in sob factor. My poor little napkin from the concession stand was soaked and wringed to pieces.
I already loved the book and had even got my husband to read it, because the story seemed so personal to us. We were first loves, my parents hated him, we broke up and didn't see each other for 2 1/2 years during which time I dated my parents hand-picked local boy, then I got back together with my husband and we now have been married almost 5 yrs. Of course there was a lot more ugliness and drama than that, but you get the picture.
I knew that we would probably love the movie, but I didn't know about anyone else. The theatre was packed and audience reaction seemed really positive and I am glad to see a lot of positive posts in this forum and elsewhere.
Sorry this post is so long and personal, but I had to let it out! I can't wait to go see it again!

omg did anybody see the interviews on EXTRA! tonight.they showed ryan,rachel,and james.they were talking about the love scene in the kitchen and they showed some of it!!!! I'm sorry to spoil it for you, but that scene was not in the movie. I saw the picture stills on the homepage of "The Notebook", but during the movie, there wasn't the kitchen make-out scene, nor the bathtub scene. I believe it was excluded to limit the running time since it's already two hours long. Guess they're cutting off lots of good scenes. Probably we will be able to watch it in the DVD Special Features when it releases, which will be a while.
Anyways... I agree with Chiclit. This movie certainly is better than "Titanic" (Never liked Titanic, so I can say every love movie is better than that ;D But "The Notebook" is really good!). During the viewing of the movie, nearly everyone was sobbing and sniffling. I was getting annoyed because there was too many crimpling of napkins. But that shows how well the story went. ;D
I enjoyed this movie. McAdams's and Gosling's acting was splendid. It's good to finally see McAdams as one of the mains, unlike The Hot Chik or The Mean Girls. Hopefully, the two will explode into Hollywood with this movie.
As for the ending... I'm very happy with it. I advise all those that haven't watch it yet to don't spoil it for yourself. You will be satisfy because it will shows you what love can do.
The motion picture slightly differ from the novel, but I believe it was taped that way to keep an appropriate running time. Beside, it fits so well together even with the changes. The movie was still great and emotional. It stills held the gist of the novel, which was defining love through time. Some people is complaning about it, but I don't really notice the reason why. Personal opinions, I guess.
Okie... In comparison with "The Notebook" and "A Walk to Remember", (the two recent motion pictures of Sparks's work) I have to say this is much better. The pacing and performance of the actors and actresses was great. Not that I'm saying "A Walk to Remember" isn't good. It just a bit off. The book was much better. However, for "The Notebook", I feel that both versions-- movie and novel-- captivate and lure me into it, though it is different. A Walk to Remember movie didn't have that much effect, but the novel did. (Am I making any sense here? )
Sorry. Too long of a post, but I liked to type some opinions, since I finally find a message board for "The Notebook". Oh, and can someone aid me on how to get icons and banners? I'm totally a newbie to forums/ message boards. =) Any help is highly appreciated, and thank you in advance.
Bye, Joey
