Isn't that what our lives are like?

When a friend helped me find the address, I looked at it myself and said it didn't look very good. But I still persevered. I don't know why, but I wanted to write something about this movie tonight.

I saw a lot of people's messages on various websites, and I couldn't understand the heroine's behavior. But who isn't? When you were 17 and everyone was in love and sticky, you could only see your boyfriend for one day a year. He couldn't even hear his voice, and could only be comforted by letters that he didn't know when.

When we are young, what we need is a person who can grow up together, someone who can always accompany us, give ourselves warmth, and affirm ourselves. So she chose such a husband. She said they need me. I don't even know why I am like this. In fact, who is not so? Can emotions really support your whole life? How many people can guarantee that they can spend ten years of loneliness waiting for a person who can only meet ten times in ten years?

If John hadn't come back, she might have forgotten, and she still cherishes such a feeling in her heart, pure and unreserved.

She said: Can we meet again? I just need you to say it. That picture is very real, and when he drove away, I felt sad too. Isn't that how life is?

To be honest, I didn't really like the ending. Even if you want a happy ending, it seems too hasty.

By the way, the heroine's forehead tattoo affects my mood throughout the film, alas...

Dear John quotes

  • John Tyree: You're starting to make me a little nervous.

    Savannah Curtis: Why am I starting to make you nervous?

    John Tyree: Because I'm starting to think you might be too good of a person for me.

    Savannah Curtis: Oh. No, I'm not that good of a person.

    John Tyree: You're sneaking off every day to do manual labor on a house for charity. On your spring break.

    Savannah Curtis: Yeah, you're right. It's selfish, really, me being this generous.

    John Tyree: But no, seriously. You don't drink, you don't smoke.

    Savannah Curtis: Nope. Nope.

    John Tyree: You probably don't sleep around.

    Savannah Curtis: Absolutely not.

    John Tyree: Okay, look, you gotta have a fault.

    Savannah Curtis: I do.

    John Tyree: Okay, care to enlighten me?

    Savannah Curtis: I curse.

    John Tyree: No, you don't.

    Savannah Curtis: Yes, I do.

    John Tyree: I haven't heard you.

    Savannah Curtis: Well, that's because it's in my mind. There's a never-ending stream of curse words that I'm thinking at all times.

    John Tyree: Okay, fine, just say one then.

    Savannah Curtis: No, I can't tell you because it's filthy.

    John Tyree: Right.

    Savannah Curtis: Yeah.

    John Tyree: Okay, all right. Fair enough.

    Savannah Curtis: No, I have faults, John. Trust me, I have plenty of them. You'll see.

    Savannah Curtis: I hope so.

  • Savannah Curtis: The problem with time, I've learned, whether it's those first two weeks I got to spend with you, or the final two months I got to spend with him, eventually time always runs out. I have no idea where you are out there in the world, John. But I understand that I lost the right to know these things long ago. No matter how many years go by, I know one thing to be as true as ever was - I'll see you soon then.
