Notebook Kiss
The Notebook Kiss is considered the very best movie kiss in recent history. If you don’t know it yet, the 2004 movie starred Rachael McAdams and Ryan Gosling and it won the MTV Best Kiss Award.
The story is a familiar one. Boy from the wrong side of the tracks meets a rich girl. Her parents object and the two love birds are separated. This time the story unfolds in 1940 in Seabrook Island, South Carolina. At first they are not attracted to each other, but that wouldn’t make a good movie! So their friends kind of push them together and the next thing you know they realize they were meant for each other.
The notebook best kiss award was not won in the beginning of the movie. Nope you had to wait for that special moment. Before the two love birds are separated by the evil parents, Ryan promises Rachel that he will buy a 200 year old house and fix it up for her. I bet home depot loves him.
So now for the big notebook kiss scene. Nope not yet. Rachael gets engaged to a rich lawyer. Which in most cases would be a good thing. But she keeps seeing Ryan’s face whenever she looks at her fiancée.
The one thing you can say for this movie is that there is a lot of notebook kissing going on. Seems that the people down south consider it a hobby, something to be practiced in your spare time. Back to the 200 year old house.
Ryan buys the house. Who cares if he doesn’t have the girl. You still need a place to live….right?
Well, Rachel still loves Ryan but that darn fiancée needs to be handled. We are getting closer to the famous notebook rain kiss. Rachel and Ryan go rowing on a lake. Does any of this make sense to you? Anyway they go rowing on a lake and get into an argument about not writing to each other when they were spit up. Seems Ryan did write to her but her evil mom hid the letters.
At just the perfect climatic moment, rain pouring down, music ramping up, the passionate and now famous notebook rain kiss takes place. Finally got it out of the way. After the kiss they make love all night and order out for pizza.
As far as kisses go I’m not sure this is the best one I’ve ever seen. But it did win the kiss award: Notebook 2004. So who am I to argue with that? So now every teeny bopper wants to watch the video of Notebook The Kiss. Not to be confused with Kiss the rock band that will kiss anything including a notebook.
So if one generation had Dancing In The Rain with Gene Kelly then I guess it would make sense that this generation will have Notebook Kissing In The Rain.
Maybe the Notebook Kiss will turn out to be a classic. The type of movie that kids will keep watching for years to come. Forget about Casablanca….now we have South Carolina.
So there you have it….a movie that you can now rent and watch with your girlfriend. Assuming you can’t get out of it. But you will always have the Notebook Kiss.
