Back in 2004, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams gave every teenager a vision of what love should be like by starring inThe Notebook.Being an action hero, Gosling had a great but terrible passionate idea that never made it into the film.
As per director Nick Cassavetes, Ryan Gosling came up to him with an idea that was very passionate and symbolically true but it didn’t mean anything. With the dream house that Gosling’s character of Noah builds for Allie, Gosling wanted to burn the house down in an act of passion!

As per director Nick Cassavetes, Gosling came up to him and said that he wanted to burn the house down. The house that Gosling was referring to was Noah and Allie’s dream house that Noah had built with his own hands.Ryan Goslingstated that the burning of the house represented the character arc of Noah and that he was“cleansing my fire”.Director Nick Cassavetes, on the other hand, had no idea what Gosling was trying to say.
“Gosling thought it would be appropriate for Noah to burn down what had become his character’s life’s work. ‘Ryan wants to talk to you about what he’s going to do. He wants to go prepare for it, feel it, live it, explore other options for it. He’d come to me and say, ‘Why can’t I burn the house down?’ I’d say, ‘Because I don’t even know what that means.’ And he’d say, ‘Cleansing my fire!’”
Well, the scene was not allowed and hence, never made it to the final version of the movie. Not taking sides, but the scene would have indeed symbolically signified the change in Ryan Gosling’s character arc.
