Rediscovering Rachel McAdams in Nostalgia
Earlier on social media, foreign netizens were surprised to find out that the female lead in the movies “The Notebook” and “Mean Girls” was actually the same person.
This discovery has resonated with many netizens and has also brought renewed attention to Rachel McAdams, a talented actress – a representative of “drama throwing” who has maintained a beautiful impression in our hearts for twenty years.
Typical appearance of a female lead in a movie
In ‘The Notebook’, Rachel McAdams presents the typical appearance of a female lead in a romantic movie with her elegant temperament, lively eyes, and gentle voice.
In the film, her relationship with the male lead Ryan Gosling was initially not harmonious and even required the director to mediate. However, the love in the movie seems to have extended beyond the screen, as the two fell in love and dated for three years after the filming ended.
Ryan Gosling once told the media that his love with Rachel was even more romantic than Noah and Allie in the movie, and the two even won the “Best Kiss on Screen” award at the MTV Awards and passionately kissed on stage, becoming a legend at the time.
The Queen of Love’s “Time Travel” Story
After “The Notebook,” Rachel McAdams quickly became the “queen of romance films” in Hollywood, appearing in multiple romantic films and often related to time travel themes
《The Time Traveler’s Wife》In this 2009 film, Rachel played the role of the wife of a time traveler, a character who waits deeply in the long wait.
《Midnight in Paris》In 2011, Rachel played the fianc é e of the male lead in the film. The male lead unexpectedly travels to the 1920s in Paris and meets several well-known historical figures.
《About Time》In 2013, Rachel’s character once again accompanied a time traveling partner and learned the importance of cherishing the present through the process of time travel.
Life is Like a Movie: The Beautiful Ending of Rachel McAdams
Despite appearing in numerous romantic films, Rachel McAdams in real life is more intelligent and independent than her on-screen roles.
After becoming popular in “The Notebook” and “Mean Girls,” she reached the peak of her career, but chose to retire for two years at the time of her fame, contemplating the life she truly wanted. This choice shows people her emphasis on family and self-development, rather than just pursuing the pinnacle of her career.
During this blank period, she declined invitations for several popular movies, including “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Mission: Impossible III,” “Iron Man,” and more.
She later explained that these “push play” decisions were made to spend more time with family, balance career and family, and achieve self satisfaction.
Perhaps not every actor pursues sensational achievements. For Rachel McAdams, inner peace and family harmony are the life pursuits she cherishes more.
She is still active on the screen today and has become a mother, living her own ‘happy life’. If her life were a romantic film, then this story would undoubtedly have reached the ending of ‘Happily Ever After’.
