Dear John(2010)- User Reviews

The cinematic style was impressive as it was taken on location in South Carolina. The blend of serene sceneries contrasted to the shots in the battle fields was eye-catching. John was a kind soldier and his gesture to befriend an Afghan boy was a comfort - because he kept his childhood within him. The unsettled conflict with his father made him like he was still a child within him. The scene when he cried and was touched by the dying father was so dramatic, because it was meaningful for a child abandoned by his moher to get answer and comforted. His passion to Savannah and hers to him was so fresh and beautiful and the happy ending was so relieving.
