It's all because of preconceptions

I just want to say that it was so painful to watch, and I finally finished it.

The fiancé worked hard for the war, for his career, for love, and for Ellie's parents to like him, but Noah did nothing. When Ellie's parents questioned whether his work could give their daughter a stable life, Noah just made Ellie a lumberjack's wife for a lifetime, and the cheap little favors of dancing on the piano to attract Ellie, but Noah got everything.

It makes me so sad that it is possible that you do everything you can for a person, you are the right match, and you have a chance to love each other and fail just because you didn't show up early enough, and that's not something you can change. Powerless.

What if the person you met first was Laurent?

ps I feel that the lotus leaf lake with big white geese in the pool is very romantic.

The Notebook quotes

  • Young Noah: It's not about following your heart and it's not about keeping your promises. It's about security.

    Young Allie: What's that supposed to mean?

    Young Noah: [yelling] Money. He's got a lot of money!

    Young Allie: You smug bastard. I hate you for saying that.

    Young Noah: You're bored Allie. You're bored and you know it. You wouldn't be here if there wasn't something missing.

    Young Allie: You arrogant son of a bitch.

    Young Noah: Would you just stay with me?

    Young Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fightin'

    Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.

    Young Allie: So what?

    Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.

    Young Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.

    Young Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT?

    Young Allie: It's not that simple.

    Young Noah: What... do... you... want? God damn it what do you want?

    Young Allie: I have to go now.

  • Young Noah: If you're a bird I'm a bird.
