Dear John (Another movie review)

“Dear John”, is a movie I just watched last night. I remembered I wanted to watch it on the day it first released, but I failed. It was hard to find a seat in the cinema. Now, three weeks have passed. This romantic film finally came to my mind. Therefore, I crabbed a bag of popcorn and enjoyed this wonderful love story with my boyfriend.
The start was like every romantic story. One summer, on the beach, the bag of Savannah fell into the sea and John jumped into the water and got it back to her. They quickly fell in love with each other. However, as the summer went to the end, they had to face the separation. Savannah, a college girl who was studying to be a doctor, needed to go back to school. John, a soldier, who only got two weeks off per year, had to be back to the army and serve the country. In the days they were separated, they wrote to each other regularly. Due to John’s dangerous deployment, their first reunion only lasted for one day. Then John got back to the army. After not hearing from Savannah for two months, he received a letter from her and it said that she was engaged and wanted to broke up with John. John was nearly devastated emotionally and he burned all the letters Savannah wrote him. John got injured in a battle but he chose to extend after cured.
Suddenly, one day he was brought a news that his father with autistic was about to die of illness. He went back to home and told his father all he wanted to say and expressed his deep love to his father. While driving through a country road, John accidently met Savannah, who was already married. He knew that her husband was Tim, a friend of them and was paralyzed due to a cancer. Tim had been in love with Savannah since she was in college. However, Savannah and Tim were suffering from a tough life because they did have enough money to cure Tim’s cancer.
John was sad. He could not believe that their life happened to be like this. He sold all the coins his father collected and donated the money to Tim, anonymously. Finally, Tim’s cancer was cured. Then, John went back to the army, where he considered he belonged to.
I am always a sentimental person. I cried many times while watching this movie. Not only the love between Savannah and John touched me, but also the love between John and his lonely, autistic father made me cry. Love, sometimes is not about always being together. It is also a kind of love that you leave the one love and let her to live a happy life. That’s what John did. His dangerous job could not bring Savannah a concrete home. So, he just left and let her to marry someone that could bring her happiness and a warm home.
