The story that Duke narrates is about a young couple, Noah and Allie, who are madly in love with each other despite their obvious social differences. Circumstances cause them to drift apart before they are brought back together. Whether they unite or not is what this story is about.
As the movie progresses, we come to know that the couple whose life is shown is actually Duke and Allie. Their love transcends time and all barriers. It is true love at its purest
The love chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams is cracking. Ryan is particular is passionate to the core. His 2 getups look majestic.
The scene when he asks Allie out for a date on top of the Ferris wheel, the couple's first date, their romantic escapades, the easy bonding between Noah and his father & the scene when an enraged, bearded Noah asks Allie to do what she wants are gems. The movie infact is a classic replete with more such impressive scenes.
Rachel impresses in parts while she overacts and becomes artificial at times. She is charming though. James Marsden is really lively in a small role as Allie's engaged fiancee, Lon.
The nurses in the movie have nice little roles while the elder couple make a mark too with their intense bonding in the sunset of their lives.
The movie has a moving soundtrack and some lovely locales that add to the endearing quality of the lead pair's romance. It's poetic on the whole
VERDICT: An intense romance that lasts a lifetime. Moving and Poetic.
