I watched the movie "Dear John" in my English lesson. It is an American romantic movie and it was released on February 5, 2010. It was directed by Lasse Hallstörm. The main characters are played by Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried.

In the beginning of the movie, John Tyree and Savannah Curtis meet and quickly fall in love. Unfortunately, John has to go back to the army. For the next two years they communicate through letters. When John comes back, he sees that Savannah is married to Tim. Soon Tim dies. At the end of the movie, John and Savannah meet and hug.

I personally enjoyed the movie. Firstly, it is interesting to watch, because the movie is full of emotions - it is positive most of the time, but there are also many sad and terrible events. In addition to that, the characters are very different- Savannah is outgoing and friendly, but John is more of a loner, who doesn't show his feelings. It is fascinating to watch two totally different people communicate and fall in love. Secondly, the actors are great; they play the characters very believably. However, I don't like the end of the movie, because it is not clear if they stay together.

In conclusion, I like it. It is a beautiful and heart-warming story about two lovers. I would really recommend that movie, especially to girls and romantic people.

The movie we decided to watch together was „Dear John". The movie is all about love. It is a romantic drama about two people who fall in love.
John is a soldier and he falls in love with a college student Savannah Curtis. John and Savannah meet in John's hometown, while the girl is visiting the town. They start to hang out together and they fall in love. Unfortunately, John has to leave home and he won't be around for a long period of time. He is not the only one to leave. Savannah has to go back to college, so they are going to be separated for a while. Even though they can't be together, they still love each other and they start exchanging letters. They do it frequently. But everything changes after 9/11. John re-signs on duty and it makes Savannah desperate. She can't stand being alone, so she stops sending letters to John. Then John gets the sad news: his father has died. He goes home immediately and discovers that Savannah has got married. He is surprised to see that her husband is the person who told John not to hurt Savannah. He's much older than she is, but the girl, as she says, married him because he needed someone beside him to take care of his son. John goes back to serve his country and Savannah stays in the USA. When he comes back, they meet and they discover that their feelings haven't changed.
The movie is kind of bittersweet. The saddest part is when John's father dies, but the happiest part is when they meet again. I like the movie and I also voted for it, so I am pretty happy to write about „Dear John".

I watched the film "Dear John" in my English lesson. "Dear John" is a romantic drama, which was directed by Lasse Hallström.
This movie has two main characters. The first character is John, who is played by Channing Tatum, and the second one is Savannah Curtis, who is played by Amanda Seyfried.
This film concentrates on love. It talks about two people - John and Savannah and their magical relationship. John is a young soldier at home on leave, and Savannah Curtis is a college student on her spring vacation. They meet and as time goes by, they start dating. In a few weeks John goes back to the army and Savannah goes to college. During that period, John gets shot and Savannah gets married to a family friend. At the end of the movie John's father and Savannah's husband die, and Savannah and John meet in a cafe.
In my opinion, this movie is average. Nevertheless, I don't like it very much. The reason for this is that it is a romantic movie. I hate romantic movies, I'd much rather watch a comedy or an action movie. Even though it is a romantic movie and has a lot of love in it, I enjoyed watching it. It is very well made and has good actors as well. I like the fact that after all John and Savanna have gone through, they still end up being together. My expectations for this movie were not very high, but I must say I had a great time watching it. I would recommend this movie to girls.

Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Michelle Seyfried is a 25-year-old actress and a songwriter. She was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the USA. Amanda is best known for her roles in "Mamma Mia!", "Dear John" and "Letters to Juliet". She is a trained singer. She worked with a Broadway voice coach for almost five years and spent two years training in classical opera. Amanda wanted to be an actress at the age of 10 after she had watched Romeo and Juliet with her father.
Amanda began her career as a child model at the age of 11. When she was 15, she began her career as an actress, starting off with uncredited roles and going on to have recurring roles on "As the World Turns" and "All My Children", which expanded into her television and film career. Seyfried made her film debut in "Mean Girls" playing Karen Smith.
Her first leading role was in "Mamma Mia!" in 2008. Her musical performance in "Mamma Mia!" was released on the film's soundtrack, for which she recorded five songs. Later in 2010, Seyfried starred in the romantic-comedy film "Letters to Juliet". In 2010, Seyfried received an award and was named "Showest Breakthrough Female Star of The Year" and was nominated for Best Female Performance for her movie "Dear John"
I think that Amanda Seyfried is a really good actress. I saw her for the first time in "Mamma Mia!" and I was really impressed. Amanda just has the sincerity that makes people want to look at her. She always manages to make the character she plays her own but that doesn't mean that her roles are always alike. I think that it is very important for an actor or actress to be able to do that. My favourite film with Amanda Seyfried is probably "Mamma Mia!" because she was just perfect for that role and her singing was wonderful. Amanda Seyfried is one of my favourite actresses and I am really looking forward to her next movies.

"Dear John" is a film based on a novel by an incredible author Nicholas Sparks. It was released in 2010. The main characters John and Savannah are played by Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried.
John is a soldier on a leave and Savannah a rich girl who doesn't drink or smoke and spends her spring break building a home for a poor family. In two weeks they fall in love, but Savannah has to go back to school and John back on a mission. They stay with each other through writing letters all the time. Their love still lives when John comes home for couple of days, but because of 9/11 John feels the duty to reenlist in the Army. And Savannah decides she can't wait forever.
I've seen "Dear John" twice now. At the first time, I really liked it, but for the second time it wasn't the same. I guess it's a film I can only watch once because at the second time it didn't have the same effect. Both actors look amazing, but as for the acting, I think that Tatum just can't reach Seyfried's level. However, they do have a wonderful chemistry. And of course there is an exception. The letter John writes to his father and Channing reading it – this is definitely the best part of the film, the most heartbreaking moment. I like the storyline and characters (but I guess that's where we should mostly thank Nicholas Sparks), but I don't like the ending. It just leaves too much hanging. And because I hate Tim, I really can't understand why Savannah gets married to him. Especially when she loves John, not Tim.
After all I think it's a good film, maybe not the best, but it's watchable. In my opinion, everybody can watch it, as it's great entertainment. And it's definitely a recommended movie for Sparks' fans.

The movie we watched is a romantic drama-war film starring Channing Tatum (John Tyree) and Amanda Seyfried (Savannah Lynn Curtis). It was released in 2010 and is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks.
The main characters fall in love and spend a lot of time together. Shortly after they have met and have spent wonderful two weeks together, John has to go back to the army. They promise they will write to each other about everything. Despite the long distance, they manage to keep their love alive.
This movie is about love. Love so big that it can survive in any conditions.
I think it is a very beautiful and lovely movie. It's true that some parts of the story are fairly expected – but then again, there are parts that aren't. It made me think about people who are so far away from their loved ones, because of the war. I would recommend it to people, who would like to see a really good romantic-drama and who are not afraid to weep. I think it's a movie, which is worth seeing and as this quote says, "A life lived in love will never be dull." /Leo Buscaglia/--
