Director: Lasse Hallström.
Based on a recommendation I went to see this movie a few hours ago. Have to say it captured the pain of love with someone who is on active duty in the military – commitment, not only to to your loved one but your duty as a serviceman in a time of peril.
The theme of commitment runs in 3 paths – to one’s loved one, to one’s duty and to those whose family members need care.
I thought it was a beautiful movie and in staying for the credits (a trick that a friend of mine, a movie connoisseur, taught me) – co-star Amanda Seyfried is multi-talented having sung in some of the movie’s soundtracks.
One of the posters here expressed disappointment in the movie; having read the book. Each to his own, my opinion is certainly no better or worse than the others, but in my humble opinion, movies based on best selling books rarely run in perfect parallel; those movies that do follow a book 100% in the screenplay can be disappointing (Flags of our Fathers is one example for me).
I think most people would enjoy the movie.
I was really looking forward to watching this movie – although, my expectations were not very high – but it turned out to be worse than I expected.
I knew Channing Tatum was not the greatest actor – although, he is gorgeous – so I wasn’t expecting very good acting. It was decent but I just didn’t feel the chemistry between the two actors.
What made ‘Dear John’ different from all the other love stories we’ve read and seen was taken away in the movie.
I don’t know how I would have understood what was going on in the movie if I hadn’t read the book. Scenes were rushed (especially the two weeks where the two main characters fall in love), and characters weren’t well developed at all.
