The notebook

I absolutely love this movie, I saw it in the theater when it first came out, and whenever it is on television I watch it. This movie is unlike every other love story and it really touches me when I watch it, every time. There are so many things that make this movie great. The color enhances the mood, they use in full realistic color, even when the go in the past, the colors are bright and lively. Also, the sounds they use in this movie do not over power the scene the audience is watching, but just draws them in more.The effects they use in this movie and the acting, give this movie more of a subjective point of view than anything else. The entire time you feel involved, sad, happy, worried, which is nice to feel so many emotions, because they did such a great job at utilizing the colors, sounds, acting and performance, and the effects. The book explains that directors manipulate and distort sound for artistic ends, to put us inside a character so that we can understand what he or she is feeling. The scene when she get off the boat in the rain on confronts him on why he never wrote her, shows this sound effect well, because you instantly get a rush of emotions. This movie, for me, has more than just one of these scenes. This movie is different in the sense that Noah is narrating the flashbacks at some points, but it is also him reading the story. In my opinion this is the best love story of all time.
