What is it about movie theatres that they can take one hundred complete strangers and create a bonding experience by making all hundred people cry throughout a sad movie, or laugh at a comedy? I saw "The Notebook" last night and that's exactly what happened. When my cousin and I got out of the theatres there must have been twenty girls in the bathroom (including ourselves) wiping their eyes and blowing their noses and laughing at their ability to feel so much for the characters on the screen. We learned about this in my English Comp class. About how movie theatres manipulate the audience to feel. In a way it is manipulation...but I like it.

Go see the Notebook and read the book. When you are done, you will want to call everyone you love and tell them. Also, if you have a significant other, it makes you appreciate them so much.

I love you Dustin.
