Based
on
the
celebrated
novel
by
Nicholas
Sparks,
THE
NOTEBOOK
tells
the
story
of a
young
couple
who
overcome
insurmountable
odds
to
experience
the
true
power
of
love.
In a
modern-day
nursing
home,
a
kindhearted
man
(James
Garner)
reads
a
tender
story
to
another
patient
(Gena
Rowlands).
The
story
begins
during
one
glorious
summer
in
small-town
South
Carolina
in
the
early
1940s.
Noah
Calhoun
(Ryan
Gosling)
is a
blue-collar
log-mill
worker
who
courts
the
wealthy
and
sheltered
Allie
Nelson
(Rachel
McAdams).
Before
long,
sparks
are
flying
and
the
pair
is
in
love.
But
eventually
Allie's
snobby
parents
force
their
separation,
and
when
World
War
II
arrives,
Noah
heads
overseas
to
serve
his
country.
In
the
meantime,
Allie
becomes
a
nurse
and
falls
for
another
man
(James
Marsden),
to
Noah's
dismay.
Nonetheless,
he
buys
and
fixes
up
the
mansion
he
promised
Allie
he
would
one
day
restore,
and
when
he
and
Allie
reunite
just
before
her
wedding,
their
love
blossoms
once
again.
Decades
later,
in
the
nursing
home,
the
story
reaches
its
heartfelt
conclusion.
Directed
with
extreme
sensitivity
by
Nick
Cassavetes
(son
of
costar
Gena
Rowlands),
THE
NOTEBOOK
is
aided
immensely
by
the
naturalistic
performances
of
Gosling
and
McAdams,
whose
chemistry
is
palpable.
