I like how they have that scene in there, b/c for anyone who's read The Wedding, you know that Noah believes Allie's soul is in one of the swans he feeds everyday! lol.

Yea... i think that scenes creepy... Because Noah does think that Allie has been recarinated into a swan in the wedding.... I think older noah was thinking back do you think i was recarniated, etc... and he kinda thought mm this swan is really friendly to me so i think its allie.... i dunno but its weird... kinda deja vu to me lol....

I thought this whole 'bird' scene was a little cheesy.

you just gotta sigh when he says that....

I have a question about 'The Wedding"....why does Noah think that Allie's soul is in a swan? do they not die together in the book as they did in the movie?

[trueloverawks]

Yea... I thought they died together at the end of the movie in the notebook.. but when i started reading the wedding it said allie died.. i was shocked... but i think noah thinks that allie is a swan bc swans were a major part of their life... you know when he showed her all those swans at the lake, etc...

When Noah said that, I felt that, despite the cheesiness, the scene was bearable. It was sweet

Well, in the novel for The Notebook, I'd thought the two died together. As I'd stated some time before, it depend on the reader, because there are two interpretations for the ending.

She murmurs softly, "Oh Noah... I've missed you." Another miracle- the greatest of all!- and there's no way I can stop the tears as we begin to slip toward heaven itself.

Above is a passage from the novel. Either the two drifted toward heaven, meaning they're dying. Or they're drifting toward heaven because Allie was able to come back and remember her life through the Alzheimers, and because of the blissful moment, it is considered as feeling heaven-like.

One reason that I reckoned Sparks decided to add Noah in The Wedding is for the heart-aching sentiment readers get (or me). Because of Noah, I wound up having teary eyes.

But one interpretations that Noah believed Allie was the swan was because in The Notebook, Allie pointed to herself as a bird (similar to swan, I guess) and asked him is it possible that she could have been a bird in another life. That's one reason for Noah to believe Allie had reincarnated herself as a swan. And swans usually symbolize for freedom and soothing. Maybe Allie wanted to be free, reason why she stated (in the movie) that she's a bird-- to live life freely.

Also, what trueloverawks indicated is quite true. Swans had played huge roles in Noah's and Allie's life. The swans was the reason the two came together, caught in the rain, confessing their love, etc. So.. it is a pretty major role the swans played.

There are many interpretations after reading. Sparks never really did indicate his true intentions on these things. He usually let your mind takes it course and you decide on which intepretations you like best.

Well said Simply... that's exactly what i was thinking too! Perfect for word to word...
