Movies with journal/journaling

[ofpwriter]

Just wondering if we could list some movies with journals or journaling (or notebooks in general) as one of the themes. This is something I find myself noticing and paying attention to when seeing it: how it's been done, is it somehow phony or...

 

To name a few that I recall:

 

The Notebook

Dances with wolves

Into the wild

Valkyrie

 

Thanks for your input,

I've seen that. I agree, not very... But I missed the journaling thingy. I guess I'll have to check it out again. :blink:

 

Are there any more?

[Bookman]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

[ZeissIkon]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

 

Fifty First Dates as well.

[MaxQ]

The Brothers Bloom

[Bookman]

Biloxi Blues

[humblescribbler]

Through Master and Commander the doctor/naturalist keeps a journal, and on Galapagos(?) teaches the youngest midshipman to journal beetles and insects. It's a small theme but genuine. All the great explorers like Cook and Darwin and even Bligh kept men who extensively journaled the expeditions for scientific memory.

Those reminded me of few more:

 

The Last Samurai

Indiana Jones, The Last Crusade

Bridges of Madison County

The Pillow Book.

 

Ewan McGregor is, as usual, mesmerizing in it. Synopsis from IMDB: "As a young girl in Japan, Nagiko's father paints characters on her face, and her aunt reads to her from "The Pillow Book", the diary of a 10th-century lady-in-waiting. Nagiko grows up, obsessed with books, papers, and writing on bodies, and her sexual odyssey (and the creation of her own Pillow Book) is a "parfait mélange" of classical Japanese, modern Chinese, and Western film images."

Julie & Julia, though that's really a blog more than a journal per se.
