Broadcast text: The notebook

This is a film set in the early 1940's about a poor young man who falls in love with a rich young girl over the summer. They ar eput in between adversities and difficulties because of the idea that women must marry men of high social standing. This links to Marx's class ideology, because of the diea that there is a divide in society between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.

This film represents femininity because of the roles of women in the society at the time. Also because of the expectations held by society as to what women should do, such as working and who they marry. The film also represents era through the use of costume, setting, dialogue and idea represented. It also appeals to the female audience, because of the idea of love and romance.

Review: 10/10

I went to see this film with my sister and my Mum and we were the only ones in the cinema. Not the best start, but I continued to watch it anyway and am so glad I did. This is probably one of the most beautiful and romantic films I have ever seen! From the relationship of the two characters to their surroundings, every scene is breathtaking! The Notebook tells the story of a summer romance that turns into a romance never to be forgotten. Allie and Noah are the two lead characters and they are wonderful. You immediately fall in love with the characters and you want to follow every step of their doomed love story. it is one of the greatest love stories ever told. Look out for the lake scene, unbelievable! I came out of the cinema wanting to go back in again and watch it all over again. It feels like you are reading a diary watching this film, thats how detailed and wonderful this film is. Cannot really give too much away about the story, all I can say is if you haven't seen this film yet, be sure to see it. I cannot think of a film more perfect for Valentines Day!
