" Dear John is a 2010 American romantic drama-war film starring Amanda
Seyfried and Channing
Tatum. It was released theatrically
in North America on February 5, 2010. The film was directed by Lasse
Hallström, and it is an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's novel
of the same name. It follows the life
of a soldier (Channing Tatum) after he falls in love with a young woman (Amanda
Seyfried). They decide to exchange
letters to each other after he is deployed to the war. The movie was filmed in
2009 in Charleston, South Carolina. "
Again, this is definitely not a book review nor a movie review.
This is just my random thoughts after reading the book last week and watching
the movie yesterday.
I know I am bit late for this, as this movie was released two years ago and the
book was released last 2006. I really want to read it years ago but for some
reasons it's just a few days ago that I finally took time to read it. And
I'm glad I made it!.. :)
I was really touched on how the story goes. It doesn't dwell only to the love
story of John and Savannah, but also to the father and son
relationship between John and his father. Nicholas Sparks is really good in
writing novels like this. I felt the emotions of the characters. I actually
cried while reading it. Every pages of it is really a must read, that you can't
stop yourself reading every detail of it. There was never a dull moment in each
chapter. I was able to finish reading it for two nights only after
arriving at home from work. :)
After reading it, I decided to watch it's movie more seriously. It's not
because I wanted to compare the difference between the book and the movie.
(Although, most of the time there's always a difference between the book
versions and movie versions, and the book versions are much better than
movies.) I'm just curious.. since, I haven't watch it before. Yes, I have
watched some scenes of it, but the not the full movie.
Honestly, I like the book of Dear
John than it's movie. As I
said, books are better than movies. :)
