My purpose
The purpose of my review is to highlight the aspects of the film that made it such a memorable classic, but to show that it is also flawed, which makes it sort of a flawed jewel. I plan to support my decisions by showing examples in the film.
Formulating Thesis
The 2005 film The Notebook, is a cinema love story classic. It captures young, undying love perfectly, as the chemistry of two loves sizzle on screen. Though flawed by some unnecessary pieces and a questionable ending, one cannot help but feel their heart strings pull as the watch this film.
