If You're A Bird, I'm A Bird

I can't even begin to express my feelings that I have for the movie The Notebook. I've seen it at least 50 times, and it never gets old. It actually just keeps getting better and better. The silly thing is, is that it's just a movie. Usually when I watch movies I can't help but think about how it's not real, just about every damn second throughout a movie or show. But when I watch The Notebook, I see something so real. You can tell that there's more than just acting between Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. And when I watch it, it gives me so much insight on life. The beauty of everything. Everything from the scenery in this movie, to the characters, the wardrobes, the love... everything about it is so wonderful. It gives me hope and makes me want a love like that. I love the plot behind it as well.

It's weird because tonight, for the first time as I watched this movie, I didn't feel afraid of getting old. If I find a love like that, I am not afraid of getting old. I seriously saw so much beauty in getting older. Because I know that this is not the end. Not only is it a part of life, but a part of eternity. Our bodies are decaying and withering from the day we're born. Like a seed that grows into a beautiful flower and slowly begins to wilt and lose its petals, and then eventually die.

But it doesn't really die, it's seeds float on and once again it will bloom and become a beautiful flower again, and then the cycle repeats. I saw and felt all of this at one point in this movie. It's not that I've never realized it before, but I've never seen it or thought about it as much as I just have. Anyways, I definitely give this movie a 10.5/10. It will never get old, or worn out. I can't wait for true love to find me, and when it does, I hope it's nothing less than what is shown in this movie.
