“Dear John” is centered on
the unexpected love between
an all-around good girl,
Savannah Curtis (Amanda
Seyfried), and an Army boy
with a troubled past, John
Tyree (Channing Tatum).
Through the good times and
the difficult times, only time
will tell if the couple’s love is
strong enough for them to last.
After saving her purse when
it fell under the dock, John and
Savannah meet for the first
time, and an unexpected love
blossoms. They spend the next
few days getting to know one
another over spring break and
quickly become inseparable.
The couple shares a romantic
first kiss in the rain that warms
the hearts throughout the theater.
Two weeks later, John’s Army leave comes to an end,
leaving the fate of the couple in
letters shipped across seas.
It is a struggle, but the longdistance
relationship lives in
their hearts. A portion of the
story is told through letters that
are written, and the love is felt
more than ever.
The letters are poured with
all the emotions the two are
going through without each
other, and John finally makes a
trip home to see Savannah. He doesn’t have long, and when
he leaves once again,
Savannah is filled with doubt.
Two months pass as John
attentively waits for mail.
Nothing ever comes for him
and he begins to wonder why.
Eventually he receives a letter
from Savannah, although it
was not what he was anticipating.
With an unexpected twist,
the love they share is burdened,
but never lost.
