The movie Dear John is a romance film that came out in theatres on February 5, 2010. According to The Hollywood Reporter website the movie is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks who is also the best-selling author for “The Notebook”. This is a story about a 23 year-old Special Forces soldier named John Tyree (Channing Tatum) that falls in love with Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried).
Years into the relationship, John goes off to a mission for the forces and they stay in contact by sending each other love letters overseas. As time went by letters weren’t enough, Savannah fell in love with her neighbor Tim. In the next letter John receives, Savannah starts the letter with “Dear John” and tells him that she has gotten engaged with Tim. Now John tries to find a way to make Savannah happy even though it hurts him that she is with somebody else. John has to make a harsh decision on choosing his country or the love of his life.
“I think that movie will touch all the hearts of those with a sensitive touch,” said Blanca Siordia, a junior. Then she added, “Dear John and The Notebook are definitely tied for best romance because it’s the same author, of course it deserves it”. “I think the movie was sad and romantic at the same time, it was the best romantic movie I’ve ever seen,” said Jackie Antillon, a junior at SEHS.
According to the Box Office website, the romantic movie was number one to make $30,468,614 on the week it was released. Since the week the movie came out, it was a big hit. SEHS students are looking forward to watching it.
