The movie is about an old woman who has Alzheimer. She lives in a home for the older people. In this home it lives an old man who reads for the woman every day. This time he is reading a book that is set in the early 1940's. It is about a rich girl, Allie Hamilton, and a poor boy, Noah Calhoun, they are both seventeen years old. Allie comes from a rich family and she has it really easy in life. But Noah is poor and has to work for living.
Allie's family lives at a summer resort over the summer and Noah lives at the small town where Allie's family comes. Noah and Allie start to know each other and really soon they get to like each other and start a relationship. They have fun together and really like one another, but because they come from different classes it gets difficult for them and Allie's parents do not like their relationship. So the parents take Allie with them and go home to the city without Noah and Noah and Allie lose their contact.
After a while the Second World War starts and Noah goes out to war. It takes seven years before Noah and Allie meet again and then everything is different.
My thoughts about the movie:
I really like the movie! It is now one of my favourite’s movies. It is a movie where you are both laughing and crying.
If I should get it a grade I think it would be 5 of 5!
