[Trivia]-

Ryan Gosling was the director's (Nick Cassavetes) first and only choice for the role of Noah. Before Cassavetes, Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise and Justin Timberlake were also once attached to the project but backed out.

Ryan Gosling built the kitchen table featured in the movie in preparation for his role as Noah.

[Reader's Review] -

The movie was based on the real life of Nicholas Sparks' wife's grandparents. I know Hollywood dressed it up and added more drama to it, but it was also set in a time that is totally foreign to a lot of people. Read the book - its always much better.
