The Notebook was a big hit in 2006, but there's a scene in the movie that hits very differently 15 years after its release.
Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling), a poor young lumber worker, spots Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), a rich out-of-towner, at a country fair.
He is immediately obsessed. Within a few minutes, he is climbing a Ferris wheel trying to get a date.
The Ferris wheel scene in The Notebook
When she knocks him back, twice — because, presumably, who the heck is this guy climbing the Ferris wheel? — he basically threatens to fall to his death unless she submits.
