I've already seen Twilight twice. I've been doing that a lot, watching things twice. I bought the first book too, almost done. I'm a sad human being. My persona is a shame.... damnit... no. Um, I've seen a lot lately, Office Space for one. Amazing ^_^
Continuing with the initial topic:
I have no right saying anything about The Notebook, I really don't. Its like Donnie Darko. Not in the literal sense, but they are both movies people say you should see. I tried, for both. The latter just bored me to tears and as far as The Notebook goes... it did the same, who am I kidding. So, in light of that, I skipped through the movie, stopping when something caught my eye, and here is my analysis of the film.
The were young, fell in love, god knows how.
SKIP
Girl parents disapprove of their love I guess, he's a country boy, she's a city girl. Whatever.
SKIP
She is with a friend and some kid, she's older now, then she sees him, Ryan Gosling, or, Noah as he is called in the film.
(note: I've never spelt "sees" before in my life and damn does it look weird... I've said it....)
SKIP
Girl, oh, well, her name is Allie. Anyway, she runs to the shore when Noah is pulling in a boat, they kiss, they go inside, lame sex scene follows, and I mean LAME.
SKIP
Stuff happens briefly between them and this other guy. Old man finishes reading the story.
SKIP
Old woman says that the story is about her and this man supposedly named Duke, reading to her. He is actually Noah and the old woman is actually Allie. Yeah, like I needed to watch the first hour and a half to know that was fucking coming. I saw it in the first 5 minutes! Plus, I knew nothing of this movie to begin with.
SKIP
Old woman in the hospital, old man sneaks in, they die in their sleep, together in a hospital bed it would seem.
So fucking lame. Everything in between was useless filler. This movie could have been 10 minutes long and still conveyed the same point. I won't fully trash it because I didn't watch the whole thing, its just didn't grab my attention whatsoever. But, that being said, its a typical love story film. Boy meets girl, falls in love, parents don't approve, thrust apart, meet up later in life. The twist here was this whole youth love thing was being told as a story, from a book, read by the old man Noah. The story he was reading was Allie's journal, and Allie was the old woman he was reading too. I guess she had some issues with her mind and didn't remember anything until her diary was read to her.
Yup... that'll be all.
Not a fan. Can't say I like wasting 2 hours of my life on filler. Dunno what everyone else is so happy about this movie for, honestly. I could have been watching Hot Fuzz.... um, I also didn't like the time period. It pissed me off...
