Description of the film "Diary of Memory"

This tape can be safely attributed to the genre of classical melodrama. "Diary of Memory" (reviews about the film are, of course, different, depending on the opinion and personal preferences of the audience) begins with a very touching scene. At the beginning of the film, the spectator is shown a nursing home, where elderly people, through the will of fate, live out the rest of their lives with different fates. One of the wards of this house is a beautiful and elegant woman, who all the time mysteriously stands at the window. Her nothing can not interest and please, she even refuses to walk on the street. The only thing that gradually returns to her any interest in life is the story of a love story read by a man from the same nursing home.

The main story

The film "Diary of Remembrance" (Rachel McAdams in which she performs the main female part) tells of the love of a young man and a girl who, on her way, overcomes many difficulties. The main hero of history - a young man named Noah, belongs to the middle working class. He works in a sawmill, his father does not have practically any material income and the only thing he can do for his son is to instill in him a love of literature.

Familiarity of the main characters

One day, after another working day, the young man goes to the amusement park, where he notices a beautiful girl named Ellie. He does everything that is possible in order to attract her attention and persuade him to meet with him. It is immediately evident that Ellie is the daughter of wealthy parents. She looks chic, well-dressed, her hair is laid in a fashionable hairstyle. After closer acquaintance, it becomes clear that her days are occupied with studies and various activities. In the future, she plans to go to college and all the decisions she takes in her life are dictated to the girl by her family.

The film "The Diary of Memory" (2004), shows how young the souls are really clean and devoid of various social prejudices. Ellie and Noah are not at all interested in the material condition and social status of their families. Having spent an unforgettable summer together, they fall in love with each other forever. But the girl's parents do not support her choice, arguing that Noah is not able to provide her with a decent life. Noah becomes an occasional witness of a conversation between her beloved and her parents, after which young people quarrel and part ways.

Temporary separation

Then the plot in The notebook (the original title of the film) develops in such a way that the girl's family decides to move. Realizing that the beloved is no longer around, the young man begins to write to her every day for a whole year. But all these letters are received by Ellie's mother, and, of course, she hides them from her daughter.

And without waiting for an answer from his beloved, Noah decides to go with his friend to the war (by this time, the Second World War is unfolding).

The life of each hero, it would seem, begins to develop according to his own scenario. Ally has a new boyfriend, who this time is happy with the parents, and she accepts his offer of the hand and heart. Noah after the war begins to realize his old dream - restoring the old house.

And by the will of fate young people meet again. Before the feeling, which, it turns out, was mutually unforgettable, they are powerless. The fact that true and pure love has arisen between the young people is finally understood by Ellie's mother. She gives her daughter the right to make her own choice, and Ellie chooses her lover.

Unexpected outcome

"Diary of Memory" (reviews of the film are often praised for this turn of the plot) has a very unexpected ending. Over time, it becomes clear that an elderly man who read someone's notes from a notebook to a neighbor's wife in a nursing home is Noah. And the woman herself, not who else, like Ellie.

It turns out that even after Ellie and Noah reunited their destinies and even raised three joint children, the evil rock did not leave them alone. Having reached a certain age, Ellie falls ill with such a terrible ailment as Alzheimer's disease. Over time, memory begins to fail her, and she forgets all her loved ones. Realizing that she can not help it, the woman tries to somehow preserve the story of her love for Noah, a long one in life. She herself is the author of the story, which was read to her by Noah and so she liked. The man could not abandon his beloved even in old age and specially, staying in full mind and health, living with her in a specialized institution. Despite the persuasions of the children, he could not leave his beloved one and stayed with her until the last minute of his life.

Many say that Ally performed by McAdams and Noah in the performance of Gosling on the screen managed to live a lifetime. These actors are not just brilliantly played the scenes prescribed in the script. They were able to show the transformation of a person, his views and priorities in the process of becoming and growing up. Especially it was possible Rachel McAdams, who managed to show the process of transformation of Ellie from a thoughtless, spoiled attention and a rich girl to a girl who works as a nurse in a military hospital during the war and before a woman, making a conscious, difficult choice in favor of a beloved man.
