Though the film The Notebook is a very sweet love story, that will for sure have the audience wiping away tears, it’s not really much of an accurate portrayal of what real-life circumstances of Alzheimer’s may be like 50-80% of the time (alz.org). For this film, I feel that it was based more on “make believe” rather than actual realistic symptoms of Alzheimer’s. This is not a bad thing of course, but if you’re looking for something a little more realistic for this disease, I would suggest trying a different film.
