The romantic drama, directed by Nick Cassavetes from a screenplay by Jeremy Leven and adapted by Jan Sardi from the novel, is a rollercoaster definition of true love. It is told in recollection of memories as Duke (James Garner) reads excerpts audibly from a love story to Allie Calhoun (Gena Rowlands) a patient suffering from Alzheimer 's.The theme is going above and beyond for someone who you genuinely love, and how sometimes you will never stop loving someone no matter what happens between you and them or the struggles and hardships that may get in between. Allie’s heart is so troubled by this love story about Noah, a poor Southern boy who works in a lumberyard, and his wealthy girlfriend, who is also coincidently named Allie, that for terse moments his readings re-generate her cloudy memory into focus. “The Notebook” shows how miracles can happen by having Allie remember memories from many years ago despite her
This film also shows that people of different backgrounds can too be in love. This movie illustrates that even though there are differences between two people, doesn’t mean they cannot be together. In the world today, people of all different types are falling in love. This used to be unheard of, but is now becoming a way of life. I feel that this movie did a wonderful job of showing many aspects of love and the difficulties that people may come upon.

I’ve heard people refer to the notebook as ‘cheesy’ and a ‘chick flick’ this is not at all true. No matter who you are the movie manages to squeeze out a few tears, because of the inspiration the movie puts across. If you love emotional, romantic movies then the notebook is perfect for you.
The Afghanistan and Iraq War were one of the most well known historical American wars. This modules film's were both based off these wars, but both taking a different approach. "The Hurt Locker" was a narrative fictional film based off the war in Iraq, focusing on the Army's bomb-disposal unit. "Restrepo" was a documentary that captured actual footage of real soldiers and their time spent in one of the deadliest valley's in Afghanistan. The main difference between these films were the different approaches these filmmakers took. "Restrepo" didn't use any special effects, lighting, or sound effects to create the intensity of this film. The film used actual footage and interview actual soldiers. The way Restrepo had an impacting effect was by
In the Oscar award winning movie Crash, directed by Paul Haggis, a network of characters portray the lifestyles of different races in Los Angeles. In the movie, characters “crash” into one another, similar to pinballs, to spur new emotions and explain their actions. A main character Anthony, an African American male, steadily tries to prove why he does not and will not fall into the black male thug stereotype. He was slightly close minded and repeatedly had a negative outlook towards his environment. Anthony created contradictions between what he said and what his actual intentions were. His actions were guided by his environment and further analysis of them will prove his motivation.
The Notebook (Cassavetes, 2004) is a love story about a young couple named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who fall deeply in love with each other. The Hamilton’s are financially stable, and expect for their daughter Allie to marry someone with the same wealth. Noah on the other hand works as a laborer, and comes from an underprivileged family. Throughout the film there were several negative behaviors, and interpersonal communications within the context of their relationship, which relates to chapter nine. This chapter explores relationships, emphasizing on affection and understanding, attraction, and the power of a relationship. The focus of this paper is the interpersonal conflict with Noah, Allie and her mother, Anne Hamilton.
“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul and to me, this has always been enough.” That is a quote from The Notebook, a famous book written by Nicholas Sparks in 1996. This quotation inspires people to have faith that love is the only thing in the world that they need. They need not have prosperity or fame. They simply need an individual to love with all their hearts for all eternity. The world is a place where love seems to somehow find its way through in the most difficult of times. Nicholas Sparks is a dedicated author, father, husband, and donor who sees that clearly and demonstrates that in his novels. To understand the genuine significance of Nicholas Sparks and his novels, one must know his background, the truth about what the critics think about his novels and his influence on today’s society.
I chose this film over many other similar romantic – comedies simply because it is relatable. I’m sure this film relates to many people who’s been in a romantic relationship. The film has an outrageous premise about a writer literally writing his dream girl to life. Presented in a fantastical way, I feel Ruby Sparks is a perfect metaphor to realistic courtship. Also being a fan of Little Miss Sunshine, I couldn’t give this one a miss.
In conclusion, the exchange theory is represented throughout the film of The Notebook within the relationships of Allie and Noah, and Allie’s mother and her mysterious lover, as they both challenge idealism over romantic love. Allie’s relationship favoring what people were really like, verses her mother’s belief that social factors determined life course decisions and therefore a persons

The Jesuits were the teachers for the natives; Teaching them not only the Christian religion but also civilization. Father Gabriel, a Jesuit, is first introduced in the film when he is showing his respects to a former Jesuit priest killed by the natives. He walks through the South American

A Walk to Remember’s narrative is somewhat that of a classic love movie. The “bad boy” which in this case is Logan turns all heart warming and falls in love with the nerdy girl also known as
The mourning process of the psyche is one of detaching libido from the lost love-object, where libido is the psychic energy, neither positive nor negative, that drives and is attached to objects. The process of detaching libido from the lost love-object is motivated by the ego’s narcissism and occurs via working through each of the individual memories and expectations associated with the lost object. In pathological mourning, there is also the process of identification with the object, the most primitive manifestation of love that comes in the pre-Oedipus stage. In the Oedipus stage comes the sexual and cultural aspect aiming to fulfill the desire and then immediately disappears. Though the vast majority of Lost Highway occurs within Fred’s dreams, it seems likely that Fred has identified with Renee as the essential object, by being resurrected within Fred’s dreams for his own narcissistic fulfillment. Transference is the core practice, but it takes restaging, which is what is being done
Analyzing the movie helps to look at love in a broader window. Humans normally will assume that they are “the only ones” to experience love, and see love threw their own glasses. But one can see that love has no limits, shape, or form, and every human being can experience it in some level.
