It's easy to hold a child's hand, but it's hard to grow old with a child

Perfect. Since Eleanor's reunion at the White House, it has been full of tears. After watching the movie, I still burst into tears and couldn't help myself.
The most romantic thing I can think of is that after I had Alzheimer's, you were still by my side and never gave up.
I have been a doctor for many years, and I think that the most terrible of all diseases is not cancer, but Alzheimer's. Although the appearance of the person in front of him has not changed, you have irreversibly disappeared bit by bit in his memory. In the end, it seems that you have never participated in his life. This is too cruel. Especially for someone like me who lives by memory, all memories, happy or painful, are treasures to me, so please God, please don't steal them from my body...
As for the end of the film, I The understanding is that the good director gave the audience the most acceptable double ending. The foreshadowing of the previous situation has already mentioned that Old Noah had frequent heart attacks in the past two years, so one day after Old Noah fell asleep, he was found to have "no breathing, no pulse and no blood pressure" and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. This is actually an ending that is closer to reality, but it's a bit cruel. When we see old Ellie staring blankly at the ambulance away, we can't help but worry about how Ellie will spend the rest of her life without old Noah's company, even though old Ellie may have no idea what's going on. Conversely, what if one day Old Ellie took a step forward? Old Noah loves Ellie so much, can he be strong enough to live alone? Either way, it's a sad ending for the audience. So I'm glad to see that the director immediately arranged an ending that met the audience's expectations: old Noah recovered from the hospital, and secretly ran back to the nursing home at night to visit the sleeping old Ellie. At this time, the old Ellie was no longer troubled by Alzheimer's, and recognized the old Noah at once. The two exchanged heartfelt feelings, snuggled up on a small bed, clasped their hands and fingers together, and went to heaven together peacefully... At the
end, the camera slowly zoomed out and fixed on the panorama of the nursing home, the main place throughout the film. It turns out that this is the place where Noah and Ellie made their love - the white house.
Perfect happy ending.
Thanks director.

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.
