The Couple Next Door’s Kiss Scene Right Out of “The Notebook” 🎬
It's a bit difficult to understand. It's supposedly the director's touch that brings something different to each film. But this scene seems like more than just a touch of #thenotebook. There is nothing original in that. The Couple Next Door‘s kiss scene mirrors the scene that occurred in "The Notebook," a 2004 film 🎬 directed by #Nick Cassavetes in many aspects.
It's called influence. Filmmakers do it. The point is whether the filmmaker can give a different touch to the scene. If not, it turns out as a blatant rip-off.

Everybody learns from someone, but you always need to give it your touch and don't just copy the scene blindfolded. He recreated the scene to look authentic to the event it was based on, but it is not clear what approach @driesvos could add to the scene in the #thecouplenextdoor series to make it different from the original scene of the film.
#thecouplenextdoor
There are plenty of other examples:
This scene from Pulp Fiction is copied from an older film. The inspiration behind it is a scene from Jean-Luc Godard's Bande à part and also borrowed from Fellini’s masterpiece: 8 1/2, but Quentin Tarantino adds his touch to the scene and It turns out to be one of the best scenes.
but I think you get the idea.
Now check this out:
This is an action sequence of a Bollywood film (below ) Awara Paagal Deewana (transl. Wayward, Crazy, Insane) an Indian film that shamelessly copies the Matrix scene (above) point to point without even trying to make it look any different and turns out one of the stupidest scenes in the film.
Detractors will call The Notebook clichéd and predictable. Fans (including myself) will embrace the familiar elements and point out the strong performances and the on-screen chemistry between the leads. You’ve seen some of what this romantic drama has to offer before but this movie pulls all of those elements together and hits it out of the park.
At a nursing home, Duke (James Garner) reads a story from his notebook to a fellow resident (Gena Rowlands). Set in the 1940s, it follows Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) and Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), the summer love affair that brings them together, their separation, and their insatiable longing while apart.
I’ll admit some of the big scenes feel a little forced. Passionate kisses in the rain, parallel stories with the nursing home patients and the couple in the notebook, unfulfilled love like the one here, are more cinematic than realistic… but they work. It's Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. You want them to get together. When they’re next to each other, the sparks are tangible. Even when they argue, you can tell there’s something special present. When she catches his eyes, you remember what it was like when you met that special person. When he convinces her to go out with him, it’s like the first time your significant other said “Yes” to you. The film is unabashedly romantic and knows it. The objective is to make your heart swell and keep you guessing. Not whether or not they’ll get together, but how and when. It’s the meeting of your expectations and the payoff that makes this picture soar.
Sure Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are treats for the eyes, but we all know we’ll eventually wind up as wrinkly old bags, which is why the film's wraparound story is so important. The Notebook assures us that life won’t end the minute you spot a grey hair. The period setting also helps bolster the romance. There’s something about the people of this time before. Their shyness, the way a first date’s climax might be the holding of hands or a single kiss. It asks you to be patient as the people involved slowly come together, going on many dates to truly discover themselves as a couple. Just like slasher films are best set before 1983 when cell phones came and ruined it all, romantic dramas get a solid boost by taking place in times we're nostalgic for; when seeing a woman’s ankle was scandalous and real men had to work with their hands out in the sun, their muscles glistening with sweat.
The picture resists the urge to introduce a villain, which is a relief. The obstacles are people who try their best and life, which often disagrees with our premade plans. In a world where people do wind up alone, where good guys lose in the end and some love goes unfulfilled, this couple’s passion is incendiary, a blazing testament to first love that ends on the perfect note.
Even the most cynical audience members - the kind who scoff at the idea of waiting for that one girl/guy for years - won’t be able to deny the picture's charms. When you’re in the mood for a sweet/sappy love story, you’ve gotta go with The Notebook. Nothing else will do. (On DVD, December 9, 2016)

Legendary movie director/producer/actor/writer, Nick Cassavetes, before/after pictures and patient testimonial: At the age of 60, I look and feel better than I ever have in my entire life! Switching my health program and hormone replacement therapy regimen over to Genemedics was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life! Genemedics and Dr George have significantly improved my quality of life and also dramatically improved my overall health. I have lost over 70 lbs of fat and gained over 20 lbs of muscle and I’m still noticing improvements. I have better energy, sex drive, mood, concentration, focus, and sleep than I have ever had in my life! Over the last 20 years, I’ve used doctors who many people considered to be the best Hollywood and Beverly Hills had to offer. Although many of my peers in the entertainment industry keep Dr George and Genemedics as their hidden secret, I believe that he should get the recognition he deserves for being the best of the best in his industry! All of my friends, some being the most famous and celebrated people in the movie/entertainment industry, have also discovered Dr George and they also rave about how amazing his protocols and services are and how he has made such a huge positive impact on their lives. Thank you for all you have done for me Dr George and Genemedics! I will be a patient for life!
