Dear john how does the movie end

John and Savannah continue to meet and soon fall in love. They decide to stay in touch once John is deployed, as he plans on completing his service in 12 months and then settling down. Just before leaving, the two reconcile and then keep in touch by sharing letters. When he hints that he might, Savannah is saddened, and the two have an argument.

Soon after John is redeployed, he receives a letter from her, saying that she must leave him and is engaged to another man. John continues to reenlist repeatedly, even against the advice of his Captain, who takes a posting back in the United States because he can no longer bear to stay away. On one of his missions, whilst saving a fellow soldier, John is shot twice.

After recovering in a hospital in Germany, he once again enlists in the army but is eventually posted back in the United States, where his father soon passes away after suffering a stroke. He then looks up Savannah and finds that the horse therapy farm she always dreamed of opening failed after a year. It is also revealed that the man she ended up marrying was Tim, who was subsequently diagnosed with cancer and had precious little time to live. I had a violin, guitar and piano. That's my wind-down method.

I was writing the song," she said. I was like, 'All right. Originally, the song was supposed to be a cover that had a pretty awkward backstory: "I thought I was going to play something that my ex-boyfriend Jesse Marchant sang because we needed to get the rights to it so I called him and I was like, 'Can I quick sing this?

So I was forced to sing my own song. Then they used it and had me record it in the studio and now it's on the end credits and the soundtrack. While audiences loved the film's hopeful ending, Dear John had a different ending just days before its release that was faithful to the book's ending spoiler alert: John and Savannah do not end up together on the page. In a real-life twist, the movie until three weeks before its release featured an ending that was much more downbeat than the one that played in theaters this past weekend, according to executives who worked on the film.

Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, the movie is about young soldier John Channing Tatum who falls in love with college student Savannah Amanda Seyfried while home on leave. That would leave a portion of Mr. Tyree's unspecified income free to invest in rare coins and amass a collection worth a fortune. I am just enough of a numismatist to know that you need to invest money in order to collect rare coins.

You don't just find them in your spare change. I know I'm being snarky. I don't get much pleasure from it. Of course John is overseas on a series of missions so secret that Savannah cannot be told where, exactly, he is. Apparently not in Iraq or Afghanistan, because it can hardly be a military secret that the men of Special Forces are deployed there.

But somewhere, anyway, and he re-enlists for a good chunk of her early childbearing years, perhaps because, as " The Hurt Locker " informs us, "war is a drug.

It matters not. In this movie, war is a plot device. It loosens its grip on John only long enough to sporadically renew his romance, before claiming him again so that we finally consider Savannah's Dear John letter just good common sense. Now that I've brought that up: considering that the term "Dear John letter" has been in constant use since World War II, and that the hero of this movie is inevitably destined to receive such a letter, is it a little precious of Sparks to name him "John"?

I was taught in Dan Curley's fiction class that when the title of a story is cited in the story itself, the story's spell is broken. But then Sparks never took Curley's class.
