After leaving the army to visit home, John met Savannah, a gorgeous but extremely conservative college student.
However, after the events of 9/11, John had to return to the army and Savannah often wrote him letters starting with the words `Dear John`.
.
The movie Dear John is about the romantic but tearful love story of John and Savannah.
Savannah is a pretty perfect girl, at least in her mind.
I always thought that Savannah’s kindness was what made John love her, fiercely and sincerely.
People often say that distance extinguishes small fires and fanned big ones.
John decided to meet Savannah again after a period of separation, enough for him to calm down, after the broken love, after the departure of his beloved father.
John, with all his love and respect for Savannah, silently became a sponsor, helping her husband have a short, happy time with his family.
Dear John ends with John and Savannah meeting again, by chance, the way they once met and wrote a touching love story…
