No One Would Deny That Movie Is an inherently visual medium. Character, plot and dialogue May Be The bedrock That Makes a movie work, to the Visual Their Stories Are the funnel reach us through. It's Not An Accident That Many Of The best directors come from artistic or photographic background year; The Ability to Think Visually and Produce beautiful Image is essential. It's Not Surprising That Most Of The Best Movies Have exquisite set design and lighting That Would make Rembrandt Green With Envy.

But It Can Go Too Far. In the quest for perfect pictures, It Is not at all unusual for filmmakers to keep going past sets and Their Cast Their home movies THEY Would like choose a prop, eyeing Their Leader for proportion and symmetry and who cares if Their dialogue sounds like THEY Always 're reading it off of a cue card. I'm not naive Enough to question Why are Successful Actors Necessarily attractive goal When That Become the Determining Factor In Their place in a movie, you are setting yourself up for disaster.

Case in point: "Dear John."

An adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel "Dear John" Is Already at a Disadvantage Before the first actor appears on screen. Sparks' stories are contraptions Designed to Deliver Usually mild heartache and banal characterization (and "Dear John" is No exception), goal He Does not Have the copyright is EXACTLY That Particular problem. Hollywood loves nothing So Much as easy emotion, Because It Is So Easy To Sell, Which Explains Why Certainly Sparks has found a comfortable niche Such There.

The telling difference That thesis film to Canon Bring lots of Things Is In The humanizer of the Word, in the Way people Actually Speak the dialogue. A talented (or Even journeyman) actor Cdn add layers to The Most simple phrase or sentence, Creating the appearance of depth WHERE none really exists.

Looks do not Necessarily Have Anything To Do With That Ability, if you aim for cast looks Alone Without really considering The Rest, that's how you end up year Spending hour and 45 minutes With The human totem pole That Is Channing Tatum.

In What Is (sadly) The Greatest Dramatic challenge he has yet faced, Tatum stars as John, a young Special Forces soldier Who, while Spending a rest leave With His Father is Charleston's beaches, Meet the woman (Amanda Seyfried) Who is Probably The Love of His Life.

Certainly he Look the part, how can you Possibly to feel Anything for gold care about a person Who Says Everything as if he Were a book reading in front of deferral history class?

The son of a semi-autistic Obsessed With Coin Collecting father (Richard Jenkins), John has historical Developed Problems in communicating with Others, MOST Keeping people at a distance and breaking out Into Violence Become When situations too complex or frustrating. That Despite disability, it looks like college student Savannah (Seyfried) Might Be Able to Provide The Same structure for historical emotions thats the military has done for historical violent impulses. With Something to look forward to he Begins Counting the Days Till His enlistment Is Up and He Can finally get On With His Life, Passing the time-through letters back and forth to Savannah As They desperately try to Keep Their Relationship Alive.

And Then 9 / 11 Happens.

"Dear John" Would not Be a Better markedly movie if it didn't sentimentalize the terror attacks of 9 / 11, But It Certainly Does not Help That it does. The Thing Is, It Probably Can not Help Itself. "Dear John" Is it built and it mawkishness Brings Everything it touches down to That level. It Rubs The metaphor of coins and Coin Collecting Deeply Into the hearing so you're sure to face Have a welt By The time the movie's over.

Even Then, Something Could Have Been salvaged. There Are Some Real adult issues at play, Even If They're Only There For melodrama, and good Actors ha.
