I'm dead inside.
All I've heard from everyone who has seen it is that The Notebook is a real tear-jerker, tissue soaker, heart wrencher of a film. I mean, it's good and all, but I didn't even shed one sorry ass tear. My eyes got a little misty when his best friend dies in the war, but war scenes always make me cry. It's all that the needless death. I mean, I had tears running down my face during the first scene of "Saving Private Ryan". Matt kept having to pause it so I could run to the bathroom and blow my nose. I cried during the war scenes in Forrest Gump too. Not when she rejected him, OH NO, but when he was sloshing around in the mud and blood of war I cried buckets. Apparently war movies starring Tom Hanks are especially effective for me.
Anyway, back to my point. I didn't cry, I didn't even think it was sad! What's sad about it? Two people meet, fall in love, split up so that they can really appreciate each other later, get back together, spend their lives together and die in each others arms in an old folks home. That's not sad, it's heart-warming.
Dude, I'd give my left pinky toe for a life like that, a love like that.
Okay, not my left pinky toe, because I need ALL MY PARTS as discussed in my previous post. But I'd really, really give almost anything (except body parts or my soul) to be so lucky.
