The Notebook



This scene from 'The Notebook' clearly replicates a romantic film. The slow music in the background sets the scene of sensitive emotion of the characters, because the sounds are so gentle. The frail body language of the characters suggests warmth towards one and other therfore signifying their attraction to each other. The passion in Allies voice when shouting 'Why didn't you write me' to Noah implies the lust she has felt towards him since not being with him. In the scene the producers have used pathetic fallacy to reflect the mood of the characters. By using rain in the background whilst the characters are rowing along a lake, it represents the sheer pain the pair have felt whilst being away from each other, we can notice this by how hard the rain is falling. The fact that Noah and Allie are rowing along the lake together alone with no distractions, is romantic in itself - all they have is each other to talk to which also reflects how whilst not being together, a part of them feels very alone.
