One thing I don't like about the movie Notebook, an otherwise pretty good movie.

"Notebook" went south for me when he shoves her off to a nursing home at her first stage of Alzheimer's. Seems he could have easily hired a live in aide - or a 'daytime aide' - allowing her much more time at home. He didn't even wait until the going got tough -

He checked himself into the same nursing home.

Good point. Never thought of that. I think, though, that is counterbalanced by his choice to live there with her.

I like the whole movie until the very end, first, when they’re dancing he uncharacteristically panics when she loses it, and second, his inferred voluntary death thing.

but he lived there too... their children wanted him to come back home, but he would not leave her... you didn't realized he lived there too? he was about as patient as anyone could be...
