lol, yeah I know. I wonder if that was intentional on behalf of the writers

that'd be cute if it was...but i doubt it. i don't even think that the writers have analyzed this film as much as we have, hehe

When Noah sees Allie at the movie theatre, he puts his hand over his heart like just the sight of her makes his heart skip a beat! I thought that was adorable

I've been thinking about commenting on that too. But I can never decide if he's putting his hand over his heart in anticipation or if he's just making sure his clothes are straight before he sees her.

I noticed that too. To me, it looked like he put his hand over his upper stomach. And I think it was probably an intentional acting choice on Ryan Gosling's part, because he makes the same move several times when Noah is moved by some strong emotion. It's one way to let us know how much feeling/passion Noah the character has ... he feels it in his gut.

These are the scenes where I noticed Noah holding his gut:

• after work running into Allie in the green dress
  
• seeing Allie at the movie theater
  
• as he's leaving Allie's parlor after listening to her fight with her parents about him (I think she's just said something like, "I know he's poor. .. uncultured..." painful stuff)
  
• when she takes off presumably to return to Lon

Yeah, I kinda always thought it was more of an acting quirk by Ryan, rather than an expression by Noah. Who knows- I guess it's all up to interpretation.

I noticed that when they are breaking up she said, I hate u. and the part when she comes back to noah after leaving with her mom. They are fighting and he says, I hate u if u leave.

OMG!!
I didn't notice! I'll have to watch out for that next time I watch it.

[IHeartYou]

hahaha lol i noticed that! ;D

ok, heres what else i noticed while watching the movie today :

1. when they show a clip of allie sitting in class, the teacher wrote "Leaves of Grass" on the chalk board which is the bok by walt whitman that noah likes.

2. when noah comes over to allies house for dinner, everyone is wearing white except noah - what do you guys think this means, if anything? i think, if the director meant to do this on purpose, he's trying to show that noah is different than everyone else.

yeah..I noticed that too! but a lot of people didn´t know anything about it´s relation to Noah..haha..

and that thing with the suits..I didn´t understand that! I mean, even Fin and Sarah are wearing white! so why just dress only him in white? but I can´t imagine him wearing a white suit, though

[ThoseSummerNights]

That's interesting, I never picked up on that whole white thing!

[1Notebookfan]

i didn't either! actually, it was my little sister who mentioned it to me .

[IHeartYou]

oh wow i never even noticed that!
