Well I know the book and the movie had their differences.. but I really liked the movie and the book... they were both romantic in their each own way... I know this might sound crazy but..... I want the book and the movie together to make a super long movie.. You know more detailed... LOL.. Im crazy but... its more romantic to me that way...

That would be good, I think that they should have shown more of when Allie went back to noah rather then just her running into his arms, it should have shown more of thier life t least a wedding, thats my opinion

Like mentioned before...there are things that is fitting on the movie screen and fitting in a book..and i think the writer and director did a fine job on the direction of the story in the movie...it could have gone so many other ways and i'm so happy on how it turned out... i think what was important is that nick casavettes was able to capture the heart of the story...
i feel that what made the movie all the more magical is because of the great talent of Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams and the incredible chemistry & passion that they shared.

This movie could've steered in a totally different direction from the book. when realizing how this type of story can be played out so many different ways, i think the film turned out exceptionally well. BUT it was also, more importantly, because of the amazing chemistry between Rachel and Ryan. They could've been great by themselves, or even better, but if their chemistry sucked, the movie would've sucked. I'm eternally thankful to Nick...who chose to go with Rachel and Ryan rather than more well known people, because they truly captured the essence of noah and allie. I'm more thankful that he cast Rachel as Allie than Ryan as Noah, however. Ryan did an excellent job, don't get me wrong, but if anyone else had played Allie i think they'd be lacking something that Rachel naturally brings to Allie's character. some popular "A-list" actresses would've totally butchered the role of Allie. like Ryan said...it's really Rachel's movie...and if Allie wasn't good, nothing would be.

I'm so happy that they chose to focus on the younger Noah & Allie...rather than the mid-age Noah & Allie in the book...it brought so much more life, beauty & passion to their lovestory seeing how they were when they were young and in love...
That scene with Allie looking out a glass window when Noah was in the hospital...it made me so sad...thinking about how radiant the young Allie was...and years after because of alzheimer's...she's right there in a hospital gown...doesn't even have a clue who she is anymore...
