Ryan Gosling
by Alex Andy Phuong
Within The
Notebook, there is an interesting story about
an ordinary man named Ryan Gosling that might be
somewhat melancholic. His best friend,
Sebastian, asked him, “Are You Afraid of
the Dark?” Ryan was not afraid, of
course, but he did feel like a Blue
Valentine after breaking up with his
girlfriend. The breakup with Emma broke
Ryan’s heart, but he simply reminded himself
that the real world is not La La Land.
His relationship faltered on The Ides of
March, but Ryan was determined to move on
through personal motivation and Drive.
Sebastian asked Ryan if he wanted to be the First
Man at Sebastian’s wedding to his
fiancé named Mia, and Ryan was more than happy
to do so simply because Ryan was one of The
Nice Guys. Relationships might have
given Ryan Gosling Goosebumps, but
that is simply the nature of Crazy,
Stupid, Love.
