最後一封情書
Dear John
Cast
Plot
In 2000, John is on leave when he meets Savannah Lynn Curtis (David Andrews) (Amanda Seyfried), a college student on spring break. In a matter of days, Savannah and John fall in love. John meets Savannah's family as well as her neighbor Tim and Tim's autistic son, Alan, who looks up to Savannah. Savannah meets and befriends John's father, a reclusive man who is only interested in his coin collection. John tells Savannah that his father has always been obsessed with coins and has not been much of a father to John, whose mother is not in the picture. Savannah mentions to John, that his father, like Alan, may have a developmental disorder, Asperger's. John returns to the army and he and Savannah begin a long distance relationship through handwritten letters. John believes that year will be his final year of enlistment, but, following the September 11 attacks, is torn between returning home and his sense of duty. He is given eighteen hours off, which he spends with Savannah and her family as well as with his father. He asks Savannah for her opinion on whether or not he should re-enlist, and she tells him to do what he feels is right. Like the rest of the soldiers in his unit, John chooses to re-enlist.
Over the next two years, John faces increasingly dangerous missions and begins to live almost entirely for Savannah's letters. However, John and Savannah find themselves drifting apart. Finally, Savannah, sad but resigned, sends John a Dear John letter, informing him that she has become engaged to someone else. John is deeply depressed and frustrated by the news. He decides that he will make a career in the Army and stay enlisted for as long as possible. He is informed after another mission that he is being sent home, because his father has had a stroke. John spends the last few days of his father's life by his side, and writes him a letter. His father has difficulty opening it, so John reads it to him. It is then that the viewers find out that John's speech at the beginning of the film addressed his father, not Savannah. He and his father connect in a tearful moment, and his father dies. John decides to go see Savannah, and discovers she married Tim, not her rich friend. Savannah tells him Tim has cancer, and is not allowed to leave the hospital. She says that the only way he can come home is by having an experimental drug that they cannot afford. John visits Tim in the hospital and leaves Savannah. John then sells his father's coin collection and donates the money anonymously to finance Tim's operation. The next scene shows John back with his unit as he uses one of his father's coins to use for "fate", John then gets an unexpected letter from Savannah. In the letter Savannah writes about how she knows that John sold his father's coin collection to help Tim with his operation and thanks him for giving Tim a chance spend his last moments with his family. Moved from Savannah's letter,John gets a new lease on life and decides to leave the Army after his last tour. In the last scene of the film, John sees Savannah on the street and they embrace.

Reason:
I'm impressed scenes in the movie, by far, were John and his father in the hospital. John reads the letter which he writes to his father to him. I am much moved by the scene and the love between John and Savannah. The film reminds me the importance of family and love.
我印象最深的片段是約翰和他的爸爸在醫院，約翰唸他親手寫的信給他父親聽，我被這一幕感動，莎凡娜和約翰之間的愛也很令人動容，這部電影也提醒了我親情跟愛情的重要。
