"The Notebook" Directed by Nick Cassavetes ; "Main Title" by Aaron Zigman

In the Notebook directed by Nick Cassavetes, the song "Main Title" by Aaron Zigman is constantly being replayed. The song is smooth and sounds beautiful and calm. The song is played at every love scene in which the characters ( protagonist) interacts and make love. Every significant scene such as being together the song is played. The song indicates the love between the two protagonist in the film. "Main Title" is played during the time of when Noah and Aile makes a connection. The song is introduced in the opening of the film. The sunset and an individual rowing towards the sunset calmly with flocks of white birds flying through the sky.

The film is about a man and a woman who loved each other over coming many difficulties. Even though their parents does not approve of their love, they still managed to be together. The woman then writes down her whole story within her diary of the events that takes place. When she realized that she has Alzheimer's, and does not remember their past. She tells the man, "Read this to me, and I'll come back to you." The man reads her the story every time when he visits. 

The music was used in the opening when the birds are flying through the sunset. You see a man rowing the boat calmly as the sun is setting. The song is also played with the man and the woman, protagonists, are on the boat rowing through the same pond and the woman asks about the swans in the pond.  It is also used during the end where the birds are shown once again flying through the sky of the sunset.  This song makes me recall all of the experiences that the couples experienced and lived through, throughout the movie. It makes me want to cry and feel the heart aches and pain of Noah, the man, when he sees his lover not remembering him and having a hysteric attack. It makes me very sad and remember back to all of the times that they have to work hard together to get to their marriage and love that took them so much work to get to. 

The song in the scene was very crucial. It help the audience remember back to when they first heard the song in the beginning where you can see a flock of birds flying into the sunset, a man rowing on the calm waters of the pond, and a fragile old lady looking through the window  into the sunset. The music succeed in evoking the intended response because it was suppose to help the audience feel the calmness and happiness of the film and the character's love for each other. Although they went through many hardships, and her memories are always degrading, their love is the strongest and they will always be together no matter how far, even during death.
