    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Ryan Gosling prepared for his role by living in Charleston, South Carolina before filming began. For two months, he rowed the Ashley River every morning and built furniture during the day.
    • Goofs
      The narrator says, "And after two years of chasing Erwin Rommel through the North African desert..." American forces fought in North Africa from November 1942 to May 1943 - just 6 months.
    • Quotes
      • Noah: I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and for me that has always been enough.
    • Alternate versions
      The love scenes had to be toned down to avoid an R rating in the United States. The footage is featured on the DVD as deleted scenes. There is no explicit nudity or actual sex shown. Any "sex" scenes were edited down to implied sex instead.
