The book of a perfect couple? No not all. Hollywood, that's what the people want. Even arguments were romanticized. Lets take another look and see the darkness behind this story.

So we have boy meets girl they fall in love. Immediately the family says he is trouble, and Allie needs to stay away. Allie's family takes her away for her protection. This is where we start to see the darkness inside Noah. He writes her a letter everyday trying to get her back. However nobody ever told Noah, the address. How did he get it? Later we find out that he went to the house. Noah was,stalking and spying on her from an outside window, clearly upset she's happy.

Later Allie sees his house in the newspaper and merely goes to view it. She tries explaining to him it's over, and he gets angry. Tells her it still isn't over and forces himself upon her. Allie stays for a few days and then tries to leave. Noah chases her and doesn't allow it. Not being able to get away from him, she leaves her fiance. Then Noah and her fight, she asks why do we do this, wanting to end it. Noah insists that just what they do name call, scream and fight its how they are.

Fast forward to the kids at the nursing home and what do they say and do. Tell their father that he just needs to leave her alone, let her be in peace. He states that he just can't do that. Another detail is they never even show Noah proposing to Allie, or a wedding. He wears a band but she does not. Never once during him reading is a wedding mentioned either. It's really sad. This poor woman got Alzheimers and was finally able to forget and move on from this psycho. Noah just couldn't have that everyday he forced her to remember.
Hollywood depicts it as being romantic but any woman who's been a victim can see beyond that.

Let's summarize this story. Clearly its not about two people being in love. It's about a woman who no matter how hard she tries, just can't get away from this guy.
