I asked the stewardess just after the plane had taken off: “Do you know what movie is going to be shown today?” “The Notebook,” she replied. “It is a chick flick, but it is really good.” The film turned out to be a love story where everything goes right. When misfortune seems to deliver a fatal blow to the bliss of the charming young lovers, a force intervenes to keep the story moving toward its happy end. If you want to take a break from the challenges of earthly romantic life, this film provides you an escape into fantasyland. The big advantage over “Titanic” is that the fiance who stands between the match made in heaven is a real nice guy. But don’t expect to get a deeper appreciation of your own life. This is all about what life could be…if it were a fantasy.
