over obssesd with "the notebook"


Everyone knows of the movie "the notebook" it's about an epic love story about a young man who falls in love with a rich lady and gives her a sense of freedom. But the question is about this movie is why is everyone so obsessed? Im almost positive there are other movies out there that are very similar to this movie for example "dear john" or even the movie the "evening". So why is everyone in love with this movie? According to IMDB (the internet movie database) more than half the people who posted, rated this movie a 9 or a 10 out of a 10.im not arguing that this movie is bad, I like this movie a lot but I just don't understand the crazy obsession of this movie. On another website there are 10  different advice's from the movie the notebook. Considering that people listen to advice doesnt it explain the obsession for this movie? I know how crazy girls are about this movie but do guys like this movie as well? The answer is no most guys dont like this move. So therefore there are two opposing point of views out there. So according to database majority of girls are obsessed with "the notebook" and almost all guys don't like this movie.

  1. Shannon,

    Thanks for your post! You picked an interesting topic and included some research from IMDB which is awesome.

    I wonder why it is that women love sappy love story movies while men are more geared toward action and suspense. It's a great question to explore. We can also try to figure out what makes a movie great--is it the story? the acting? the directing? the scenery?

    Maybe it's just anything with Ryan Gosling :)

    Thanks for your post! Next time add a visual component.
