The film was released on June 2004 and the studio that produced is Worner Bros Studious. The director of “The Notebook” was Nick Cassavetes, one of his earliest works was drama and criminal film “John Q” and the fact that the same director of romance and drama film (e.g. “Notebook”) has directed criminal film as well shows us that Nick Cassavetes as a director quite developed in a different area of cinematography.
The film (the beginning of the film will be telling us about life of the main characters in late 1930s in America) is about young relatively poor man that falls in love with a rich girl. At that time, it wasn’t common to date someone not from your working class. Soon they will have to break up and maybe in the future they will meet again, maybe not...
The cast was as follows: Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, Gena Rowlands and James Garner. Major part of the cast became or initially where popular actors, so I can probably say that that film was successful.
One of the fun trivia facts about “The Notebook” is that Ryan Gosling (an actor who played main character) was preparing for his role by living in Charleston, South California and made a piece of furniture every day. For me it is a quite interesting one, because not every actor would do that just to “become” that character that they would play on the screen.
When I was watching that film for the first time it was straight after I have finished reading a book “The Notebook” by Nicolas Sparks. I found that book interesting and emotional, so I decided to look at the film interpretation of “The Notebook”. I found it as emotional as a book, however, in a film the director missed some of the parts. When I was watching the film for the first time, I was going through not the best part of my life. I had many mental breaks down at that time period, so that is probably why the film felt that emotional for me.
This film is one of my favourites, if not favourite, because in my opinion it has best cast and nice scenario, that is making you to be fascinated by every scene. The cast in my opinion was really suitable for the roles, Noah (Ryan Gosling) look pretty much like an average working-class young man and Ellie (Rachel McAdams) looked pretty much like an average girl from a wealthy family for that time (1930s America) .
I also enjoyed the film because of the area where it was film at. It really suited the description of the town from a book. The town was provincial and at the same time beautiful, and minimalistic.
Concluding, I would like to say that I would recommend this film to those who like to watch romantic, drama films and especially to those who read the book before.
