Every film has a style. There is comedy, drama, romance, action, horror, etc. I would like to focus on one movie specifically and that is Dear John. John is a soldier who meets a college student and falls in love with her. Their relationship is based mostly on letters because they live so far away from each other but every time he comes home they get together and they act as if they see each other every day. He has 2 weeks left of his contract until he can come home to be with Savannah forever but he signs on an even longer contract because of the 9/11 attacks. This hinders their relationship. 


It does not end like every other romantic movie does either. Her letters come less and less until she writes her final letter. She says that because he has been gone she has fallen in love with her best friend and she plans on marrying him.


John is very upset but when he comes home he finds out that her husband, which was also his friend is suffering and is very sick. He is about to die and is trying to raise money so that he can have the surgery and continue to live. John makes an anonymous donation which single-handedly covers the cost of the surgery and saves his life. Although he cannot be with the girl he is in love with, he wants her to be happy. He says, "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."
