The same theme is not as good as Love Notebook

The film is adapted from the 11th novel "Breakup Letter" by Nicholas Sparks, the "king of pure love novels" in the United States. The English title of the film is "Dear John". John is the name of the male protagonist in the film. I guess because the whole film is set up by the correspondence between the male and female protagonists, the title of the film is named after the beginning of the letter. As for why it is Dear John and not the heroine's name Dear Savannah, there may be such a mapping: the heroine is full of difficult words to say goodbye to her beloved and wrote a belated letter to the hero after many years. The male protagonist is played by Channing Tatum. He fits all my imagination of John's calm and fiery heart. He even feels inferior in front of the beautiful, kind, and fraternal heroine. In the end, he has to bear the consequences of Savannah's fraternity. And in the name of love, it is sweet. It seems that it is very rare to see pure love in American movies. In my impression, Americans are the type of people who respect their own emotional feelings and cherish the moment. Love is love, not love is not love, love is together, and no love The prejudice of this fixed pattern will inevitably bring a sense of incongruity to the film, which is the main reason why I scored 6 points.
