The Notebook movie is 20 years old

Tweet

It feels like it has been around longer than that. I don't remember if I read the Nicholas Sparks book first or if I saw the movie first. My bet would be that I read the book first. I used to religiously read his books but I haven't in years. The Notebook is a movie that I watch every time I see it on TV. I probably have it here somewhere on DVD but who knows. It is a wonderful story of a man living in a nursing home who reads parts of a notebook to a woman who has Alzheimer's living there. *spoiler alert* Long story short--he is reading the love story/relationship that his wife wrote to the woman/wife who can no longer remember it. The movie is a masterpiece. I've seen it dozens of times and it still makes me cry every time. As soon as I saw the headline "One of the saddest romantic movies of all time has now been making us cry for 20 years" I immediately knew it was about The Notebook. Sheesh. Now I want to watch it again.
