Sometimes there is such a mood when you want to watch a tearful melodrama. Such a movie will become a good pastime for lovers, and for girls who have not yet found their soul mate, it will allow them to plunge into the world of romance, empathizing with the heroes.
The Notebook
American film in 2004 starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, Sam Shepard, Gina Rowlands, Joan Allen, Tim Ivy and others. The plot of the film is not as sad as it might seem at first glance. It is a love story that makes you think about a lot.
Initially, the main male role was to be played by Tom Cruise, then the role was offered to Matt Damon and Robert Duvall, but as a result, both old and young Noah were played by Ryan Gosling.
An elderly man once reads a story to a woman in a nursing home from an old, old notebook. The relationship of young lovers from North Carolina flashes before the eyes of the audience. First, social inequality, condemnation of parents, and then World War II stand in the way of their love. The years passed. Ellie's girlfriend decided to marry a successful and wealthy man, and the hero of the film, Noah, closed in on himself and lived in memories, wandering around the old house. Once Ellie read a story about Noah in the newspaper and decided to find her lover.
In a hurry to love
This sentimental melodrama was released in 2002. It stars Shane West, Mandy Moore, Peter Coyote, Matt Luts, Daryl Hannah, Al Thompson, Pas de la Huerta. The movie is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. Viewers will immerse themselves in the world of American teenagers.
The novel takes place in 1958, but the writers transfer the events to modern America.
The situation is classic. He is the hero of the school. Handsome, independent, successful. She's a nondescript nerd girl. The main character Landon Carter has managed to get into an unpleasant situation and as a punishment has to deal with the laggards and play in the school play, and the trouble-free Jamie agrees to help him. But help will be only on one condition: he must promise that he will not fall in love with her. Of course, the oath was taken in the blink of an eye, but life put everything in its place. Curiously, the film was shot in less than 2 months. And this despite the fact that the actress who played Jamie was a minor and had no right to spend more than 10 hours a day on the set.
Sweet November
Like the previous films described, Sweet November was filmed in the United States. The film was released in 2001 and after a few months entered the annals of American cinema. Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Liam Aiken, Lauren Graham, Jason Kravitz, Michael Rosenbaum and others starred in the melodrama.
Actress Charlize Theron was offered the lead female role in the film "Pearl Harbor", but she liked the script for "Sweet November" so much that she refused to play Evelyn in the film about the war.
In the center of the plot, Nelson Moss is a successful advertising agent whose life is completely subordinated to work. For the sake of a career, he sacrifices everything, including the opportunity to arrange his personal happiness. But one day fate confronts him with Sarah, who is so different from all the women he knew before. The carefree and cheerful girl manages to snatch Nelson out of the maelstrom of endless meetings, business fuss and feigned smiles. She shows him life from a completely different side. Only at the end do viewers understand why Sarah is not like everyone else. It turns out that she is seriously ill and lives every day as if it were the last.
The film makes you realize that life is too short to live it on a "draft". To be happy is to look at the world with wide open eyes, rejoicing in every new day. The film makes you cry and laugh, and after the end of the viewing it does not go out of my head for a very long time.
