The Grand HarbourView Rooms have gas fireplaces, private furnished balconies, and epic views of the Waterfront Park and Pineapple Fountain. Your room, of course, will be one of the best the Inn has to offer. So picture this, as soon as you arrive at HarbourView Inn, you’ll see a dozen roses set up in your room. So what exactly, do you get in this package?

For the tiny sum of $2,000, you can dive into your own version of The Notebook with Allie & Noah’s Timeless Romance Experience. You and your bae, might not be star-crossed lovers living in the 1940s–separated by war and family, but you can probably pull off an epic rain kiss either way.įor those of us who will be forever obsessed with The Notebook and that stunning white house, HarbourView Inn in Charleston, South Carolina is legitimately offering fans and travel fanatics the ultimate Notebook romance package. Now you can recreate scenes from The Notebook, with an insanely romantic hotel package. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams slayed our lives as Allie and Noah. That would be fine, if only I could figure out what all this was meant to stand for.Since 2004, every time we’ve needed a brutal, ugly cry, or if we wanted to believe in romance again, we turned on The Notebook. (As in “Drum,” there is a scene of sex with an older woman that seems a gratuitous attempt to shock, as well as other odd episodes that lend “The Notebook” the flavor of magic realism.) Yet the ending is not just bizarre, but emotionally unsupported.

Inseparable throughout the film, they agree to do something at the end of the movie that is utterly preposterous, even given the bizarre occurrences that have already taken place. Like Oskar from “The Tin Drum,” the unnamed twins - who are only ever referred to as “bastard” by their grandmother - aren’t real people so much as, I don’t know, manifestations of the schizoid post-war Hungarian national psyche, or something. It would be unfair to expect verisimilitude from a tale like this. Rather, their actions seem dictated by the necessities of the fiction, the point of which is never clear. To all appearances, they are motivated neither by ideology nor human feeling.

Most bizarrely, they befriend both the Nazi commander of the concentration camp (Ulrich Thomsen), a creepy pedophile who admires their Spartan regimen, and a kindly old Jewish shoemaker (János Derzsi) who gives them free boots.

They compulsively kill insects and then - in a shocking and, quite frankly, implausible series of escalations - do much, much worse. The old woman is a thoroughly nasty person, and it’s no wonder that she’s known to the locals as the “witch.”īut the boys quickly begin to evince behavior that goes well beyond what one might expect from children in similar straits. They forgo food, roll in the snow and walk in the open during air raids in an attempt to become impervious to hunger, cold and fear.Īt first, these seem like understandable reactions to abandonment, compounded by the mistreatment they receive at the hands of the grandmother, who smacks them around, treats them like slave labor, withholds food and steals care packages mailed to them by their mother. The boys beat each other with belts and hurl insults at each other, hoping to inure themselves to physical pain and insult. After being left by their mother (Gyöngyvér Bognár) with their grandmother (Piroska Molnár), an abusive alcoholic who lives in a hovel near a German concentration camp, the children gradually turn into monsters. Set in Hungary during the final months of World War II, “The Notebook” centers on twin boys (played by real-life brothers András and László Gyémánt) who become twisted into sociopaths by their experience of brutality. On the most superficial level, the film shows how war hardens the human heart. This adaptation of Agota Kristof’s 1986 novel is impossible to take literally, yet too obscure to read between the lines. As with “ The Tin Drum,” Volker Schlöndorff’s surreally allegorical 1979 film based on Günter Grass’s book about a strangely ageless German boy, it’s hard to interpret the events depicted in “ The Notebook” - another book making the leap to the big screen - as anything other than metaphors.
