At the end of the day, no relationship is perfect. I have to say, I only watched this for Channing and Amanda. Their chemistry was mind blowing and the soundtrack was amazing..
I firmly believe Tim knew John would be with Savannah again and they take care of his son after he passed. At least that’s what I choose to believe. Awesome movie!
ending was totally fuked up... it should not happen. she deserves to die with this incomplete love... your love away from you physically doesnt mean he is away from you psychologically and spiritually... if he died and if he is breakup thats different...
@@studentofateacher5202ou’re the most negative person in the comments. 'Deserves to die'? Yo who hurt you like that, that you wish someone the death when moving on? My god, people are unhealed and crazy and we wonder why the world is f* up. Because people spread hate and negative energy like YOU!
I LOVED THE WAY SAVANNAH AND JOHN LOVED EACH OTHER IN THIS MOVIE. EVEN TIME CAN'T REALLY CHANGE TRUE LOVE. EVERY CHARACTER WAS CAST PERFECTLY, THE LOCATIONS THAT WERE CHOSEN FOR FILMING WERE BEAUTIFUL, AND THE ACTORS, CHANNING TATUM AND AMANDA SEFRIED WERE AMAZING AND PAIRED WELL TOGETHER. I LOVED THIS MOVIE.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
john was her truly and only love and they were meant to be together, despite of what happened. true love conquered all obstacles once again. the way they hugged each other in the end speaks more than words. such happiness on their faces. was like they both were saying in their minds'' my love'' . i love the ending , bcz they deserved to be together. such a powerful love could only have a happy ending. two of the most beautiful and talented actors with such amazing chemistry, recipe for success. one of the best casting ever made. i'm a man but in the end i couldn't stop crying .
I wanted them to end up together. Everyone saying that what she did to John was unforgivable clearly doesn’t understand that she married Tim so that she could look after Alan because he had an absentee mother and Tim was dying of cancer so Alan would go into care, she loved Alan and didn’t want to see that happen so she made a choice to be his mum so that she could be there in the best way possible through Tim’s illness. It was a choice to look after her dearest friends and she did it. I think when the time was right and Savannah and John where ready to begin again they did, the looks they gave each other at the end was hope for a fresh start with no illness or war to stand in there way. Life is messy and hard and sometimes people make tough or wrong decisions, but that’s life but don’t forget that it’s ultimately filled with so much passion and love and things happen for a reason.💛
So her real significant other gets dragged through the mud for somebody else? this isn't romantic, maybe for women? cause she got everything she wanted while treating john like his feelings genuinely didn't matter. Life is messy I agree, there's nothing romantic about this one-sided affair
Really? All she had to do was tell him. I love you but at the moment I feel obligated to this family. His reply would have been so what do we do for them since he clearly loved her. But no she left him out in the wilderness while she went about doing things her own way. That’s worse than the friend zone. And we call that romantic? If he had lost his life during the war he would have died knowing he was well and truly alone. Probably a military burial with no family in attendance since he had none. I don’t get this at all. Is a man’s worth tied to his capacity to suffer? Is that what constitutes romance to women?

My favourite „Sparks” movie all the time, so sad so beautiful, so life. Channing and Amanda perfect chemistry ❤❤❤ i hope that one day they play tohether in another movie again❤
In the book they didn’t meet again. He just watched over her from time to time over the years and Tim didn’t die. Which made her decision even less reasonable.

Savannah didn't need to do that. She didn't need to delete John. John tried against everything, but Savannah definitely doesn't deserve John's love. What would have happened if he died in battle. Isn't John human?
The ridiculous thing abt this movie is her saying she had no choice abt marrying Tim to take care of him and his son. If it was completely platonic and just abt security and making medical decisions, she could have had Tim do power of attorney over him for medical/financial decisions- and the boy- and legal guardian after his death. She still could have stayed at his house as a live in caretaker/friend if it was also abt being there 24/7. It didn't have to be a marriage unless part of her wanted it. Even if John came back early before Tim died, he's obv the type of man that would've understood and even helped. She needed to be needed romantically and needed a relationship/companionship- even if it wasn't like what she had w John. Loneliness- which is fine but she's being dishonest to her and him by not admitting that. My husband was military and we've talked abt Dear John letters and he said they should never be truthful abt breaking up w a deployed soldier in combat. That stuff could get him- and others- killed. Even if marrying another guy, keep it to herself- keep writing letters (don't have to be romantic ones) to keep his spirits up- and tell him on his next leave when he's safe to get his mind messed up. Her need to be honest w him is more about her feelings and wanting to be a "good person" and is very selfish, not considering his mental state/safety. Heck, athletes have to have their head right or it could cost the game- imagine war. 😒
@@Floyzl. Somewhere I read that this last scene was not originally in the movie and was later recorded and added as the end after they test screened the movie and the test audience did not respond well to the original ending. So with this ending it is more open whether they eventually end up together. The way I see them responding to each other seeing each other again, whether by accident or deliberately meeting here, seems hopeful to me. I suppose that they may have a second chance to end up together and pick up from the path they were originally on.❤️🩹😌
Savannah is lucky despite the fact of what she did to John in the end John still love and accepted her again. But if am John i just move on and find a girl who will love and waited for you unlike Savannah who broke his heart and trust.
In my opinion Savannah show actual love by taking care of those who need it and John show love by understanding her and forgiving and reuniting. Real love is something very big and includes sacrifices
@@aakoch6062 nonsense taking care of those in need does not mean marrying them and abandoning the person you love. Caring does not mean being a doormat. And real love is not about the desire to be needed. John should have moved on.
I love this movie! Savannah was someone who couldn’t be alone. She always had to be in a relationship. Her love for his son, Alan was the real reason she married the other guy. Also, some people love the idea of being needed in a relationship. I assumed there was a time lapse due to John’s facial hair. Besides it’s Nicholas Sparks, the romantic leads have to end up somehow! Haha
At the end of the day, it’s a mind-fked if you think about it. You have a guy who treats his dad like crap, and leaves when he wants to go do his thing in the military. He had a choice to stay but he wanted to go. I don’t blame savannah for leaving. She waited way too long. Glad I didn’t watch this movie with my ex chick 12 years ago 😆
I think its kinda amazing how US Americans already managed to depict relationships as exchangable goods. Like, how devoided of anykind of meaning has your society to be if you think something like that is something good. Not being able to be alone is one of the major factors to make yourself unhappy; because you'll end up in reality, in bad relationships. Then the whole process of actually healing and forgiving is completly skipped in those movies. And in the end, it doesn't matter anyway because the moral of such kind of movies is; got a nice body and smile, and it'll work out if you don't really feel emotions anyway - so just buy more stuff! Disguisting.
So this is normal, just left the guy when she felt like and got her back when she felt like. And Hollywood is portraying it as a love story. It's better to have a pet hamster than the lady like the one portrayed in this new age so called love story.
Good bc males like you will only have hamster to keep company. He broke his promise and left her for the army. She moved on and married. Yet she is bad person for not waiting forever for him ??
One thing I loved about this movie and what I saw was the love she showed to him and Alan. Even though she married someone else you have to read between the lines. It’s so much more then her marrying tim.
@@kabirsardana1282 lol, marrying someone doesn't show "love", it's just contract. Yeah it was much more than marrying tim, it was about her being selfish, cheating on john.
The thing I don't like most about the movie is how much to ending is different from the book. I thought it was good they didn't end up together because I honestly felt like because of what she did she didn't deserve him. Then I watched the movie and saw this ending and was bothered by how different it was. There is an alternate ending on the dvd that is just like the book that I really liked and I wish they had kept that one.
Not all of them; in addition to the previous ones mentioned: Message in a Bottle (1999), The Lucky One (2012), and The Longest Ride (2015). Arguably Safe Haven (2013) may technically be an extra marital affair, however Erin/Katie would have divorced him a long long time ago if she was not afraid of his retaliation. I would make an exception for that one and consider it not being an affair.☺️ Besides, in Dear John, Savannah is not having an affair, unless she cheated on John before she broke up with him. Somehow, I do not think she did. Mind you, I have seen the movies and have not read any of the books.
@@margaretstepanis7607 its not the same they dont end up together and in the movie, its a little ambiguou to wheter they would get back together but at least they reunited
God loves everyone as his kids that are made in his image and his undying love for us made him favor us among all his creation and he sent his only begotten son to come on earth and die for us, pay our debt which was death because of our sins. If he died to save all of us and gift us the gift of salvation so going to heaven is even possible. The least we can do is live for him meaning dying to ourselves and being born again, turning from our sins and choosing him above it all. God wants your heart all of it, as broken as it may be allow him in your life and watch him change it. If you saw people walk in a house that is about to burn you would warn them right, I am here to warn everyone that time is ticking and tomorrow is really not promised Jesus will come back for judgment take his obedient children with him and the rest will forever burn in hell imagine a world where there is no end. Where would you want to end up? Be blessed.
" I understand that I lost the right to know these things long ago" This is the saddest part of dating imo. You go from seeing someone every day to having to forget they ever existed.
Tim could’ve named Sophie as his legal guardian in his will. She DID NOT have to marry him. That was selfish as hell. To break up with him the way he did was wrong.
It was not mentioned in the film who donated for Tim's and what happened to the money after selling his John's dad mules. But I have a hunch that he donated it all to Tim.
I bawled my eyes out at the book's ending, it was soo beautiful, so when I watched the movie & seen they had deviated from the original ending ...ugh.😒 Took such a perfect, heart wrenching story and turned it into some Hollywood happy ending cliche. Sooo disappointing.
@@angeliccristal3647 at the end of the book, he watches tim and savahana from a distance at their farm. Acting like a married couple. He gives them all the money so they could live happy. Like a real sad ending.
What a stupid ending. If he had any self respect, he would have just walked away. As a combat veteran, I would have never given her one second of my day after what she did while he was deployed. Absolute cruelty on her selfish part.
It wasn't act of Selfish of Savanah. She always put herself by helping Tim and look out for Allen. For me, It was brave thing to do.. it wasn't easy the situation..🤗🤗🤗
She should've waited. Thats how real life works. Well, i already watched this movie for about 5th time. Today's July 27,2023. I will probably get back here next year or the next. Until then, that'd be my sixth.
to be TOTALLY honest romantically i did do and/or will SOMEWHAT like amanda seyfried because she's LITERALLY always had and still has an EQUALLY attractive face
Jesus is waiting for you to come to Him, He won't cast you away from Himself if you come to Him. He calls us all to repentance, He knocks on the door of our hearts because he loves us and wants to save us. when you do believe and the Holy Spirit will come in and lead you to repent of your sins and God will forgive you of your sins and cleanse you by the blood of Jesus and you'll get born again by His Holy Spirit and have His salvation, you will become a new creation. He is the savior of the world and he can save you, no sin is too great no mountain is too high, for he will come and save you when you call upon his holy name❤ Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
I think John took the money from the coin collection and gave it to savannahs new bf battling cancer. (I forgot the name, but I bet that was the anonymous donation
I thought this movie had a beautiful story but I think the plot was a bit too much. She loved him but betrayed him by marrying another man out of pity?? John needed her, even more than Tim and she turned her back on him. Although at the end they found each other, it begs the question, would she ever turn her back on John again? Would John be willing to take a chance of being betrayed by the person he loves most.
