speaking of symbolism, doesn't martha kinda look like sandra bullock. actually, sandra's prettier but i was thinking (unless im wrong) the book doesn't describe martha but they casted that girl. hopefully, she symbolizes sandra as the other woman in real life. ok i know im babbling but wouldn't it be cute if ryan dumped sandra (martha) just to be with rachel?

i just noticed something else while looking at clips.
some of noah and allie's clothing also seem to be symbolic...for example:
on their first date, Allie was wearing a flowered dress, while Noah was wearing a checkered shirt. The designs are symbolic to their lives, very different.

intresting, but i think that it could have meant anything. i mean if they wore the same print , then they're one of those cheezy couple who dress alike.

When I saw the movie, and they were making love for the first time, they were kinda going back and forth taking one article of clothing off at a time. in a way, i think she got nervous and she knew that it was either those or whatever was left...i thought it was meant to be funny but it didn't turn out the way i thought it would have....or maybe i'm just wierd and interpreting it differently? did anyone else think this?

Everyone has really interesting thoughts about the movie... Yea i did notice that Noah was the only one wearing black when he was invited to allie's parent's party kinda thingy... Yea my mom was telling me that the other day if noah and fin were good friends could have fin at least warn noah to wear whitish colors, etc... I dunno... Also yea all the birds were a big thing in the movie... I mean they did the flying of the birds when older Allie was looking out the window.. I think she was trying to remember why those birds are so familiar.. because they kinda symbolize her and noahs relationship... Also when Allie was on the beach with Noah she was screaming I'm a Bird!! Tell me Im a Bird, etc... But then later on noah shows allie the birds in the pond... then later on in the book of the wedding noah believes that allie has be recarinated into a swan... maybe when she was yelling that she was a bird when she was younger kinda tells her that she will be a bird when she dies... I dunno but yea theirs a lot of symbolisim in the movie.... great thread... keeps me thinking now... hehe...
