Dear John


Movie Title: Dear John
My Rating: 8/10

Yet another great work done by Nicholas Sparks! Comparing this to The Notebook, I think that this has a total different feel. It is a love story between a US Soldier and a ordinary college student. But it was more than that. This movie tells how love for one another can be created so quickly and can be sustained.

The main leads fell in love within 2 weeks and the male lead had to go back to serve the US Army while the female lead had to go back to college to finish her studies. It was a moment where their love for one another is being tested. They wrote letters to each other despite being far apart from each other, their love for one another grew deeper and deeper. You can really feel the emotion in the story, it felt tough for the both of them.

But other than the love between the two, there was another love in the movie - the love of a Dad. The saddest part of the story isn't really about the two of them but it was what happened to the Dad! This movie really reminded me that we should never ever let our family become drifted apart from us. No matter how busy we are, how involved we are in any relationships or commitments, we must never let our family drift apart from us.

Dear John is totally different from any other movies! It really shows real situations relatable to our everyday lives.

I think many parts of the movie was being cut so I've decided! I'm gonna get the book! (if possible)

Yeah, if you've never watched The Notebook, please watch it!
