Cherry on Top!

so, today, i watched dear john at moi, at first, i was totally excited, i jumped up and down at blitz megaplex and said 'yay yay yay, finally i could watch dear john, this is totally unexpected' :P the first thing that i realized as soon as i sit on the cinema is... i forgot to bring my 'dear john' novel, i don't know why, i thought about bringing it yesterday, i guess so i could compare the movie with the novel. and my comment for dear john is: a lil bit dissapointing..

there are a lot of differences between the film and the novel.. and the novel is way way WAY BETTER! it's more interesting than the movie, i found some scene in the movie is pretty boring.. you know what, when i read the novel, i already saw the trailer of the movie, so everytime i read the novel, i use my imagination to play with the characters and the story, channing tatum as john tyree (which is easy) and amanda seyfried as savannah lynn curtis (which is kinda hard, savannah is a brunette, and amanda is blondy).. every moment, i capture it perfect on my mind, every expression, every place and scene, all of it!

many people said, the scene where john's father is going to die, it made them cry.. for me, nope, i didn't cry.. why? the scene in the novel is more touching than this! i mean, oh gossh, cmon! this is not what i expected, seriously, some of the scene were not even mentioned in the novel! the movie is meaningless! i was dissapointed, i ended up getting up from the seat and saying this to myself 'gosh! it doesn't end like this!'.. so, now, i'm trying to read my novels, again, and i'm just gonna forgot what i watched in the movie make my own dear john movie with my imagination, let it happens slowly and more meaningful.. well, call me a freak, but i love 'my own' version of dear john!

you're looking for a bright side? well, at least there's channing tatum, and the war scene was kinda fun, but that's it. one thing that made dear john not one of my fav movie, this film doesn't mention the sacrifice of true love, which is the message of the novel itself.. :P ohh, well, they got a limit of duration, don't they? everything that nicholas sparks, the author wrote in dear john was beautiful, but i found nothing in the movie that's written by him :( especially this: “I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
