Dear John is a romantic drama film from 2010. The film is about a guy named John and a girl named Savannah. John is in the army and is only home for the summer to visit his dad who is an autistic. One day he met Savannah at the beach were he picked up her purse from the water. She thanked him and they started talking. After some days and a couple of dates they fell in love. The time pasted quickly by and John had to go back to the army to serve his country. The distance didn’t change their feelings for each other, so they kept in touch by writing letters to each other. In that way they’ll always be with each other without actually being with each other physically.

At the end of the film Savannah chooses to leave John, so she wrote him a letter to tell him the bad news. The reason why she left John was that she had decided to marry her old friend, Tim who was very sick so he needed her to help him with his boy, Allan. Allan is an autistic so he really needed one who could take care of him if his dad died like his mother did many years ago. Her choice really hurt John but the pain was mutual she really loved John and was still in love with him, but she felt it was the right thing to marry Tim. A short time after that, Johns’ dad got really sick so John went home. A few days later his dad died, which was very hard for John. John visited Savannah where they talked a lot about what had happened. Right before John left Savannah said “see you soon then” but all John said was “goodbye, Savannah” before he walked out the door.

The last thing we see in the film is, that John passes a café where Savannah sits and they got eye contact.

The ending of the film gives us something to think about. What is going to happen? Is he just going to pretend he didn’t see her or is he going inside to her?

I personally think the film is brilliant. Among all the films I have seen, it’s undoubtedly one of the best.
