In the Picture: The Characters from "Don Jon"

A movie I have wanted to see for some time and it was more than worthed. I loved it and I loved the characters. I picked the three most important ones and I will tell you a little bit about them.

Jon Martello
Played by: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Jon is a modern day Don Juan, with a short list of things he cares about: his body, his pad, his ride, his family, his church, his boys, his girls and his porn. He thinks porn is more satisfying then sex with an actual woman and doesn’t get how women can like romantic movies.

Barbara Sugarman
Played by: Scarlett Johansson
Barbara catches Jon’s attention, but when he finally has her, Barbara insists on a traditional long-term courtship, which proceeds for over a month without sex. When she catches Jon watching porn she is disgusted, but he promises her never to watch it again. Off course Jon doesn’t keep that promise.

Esther
Played by: Julianne Moore
Esther meets Jon in school, where the both take the same class. At first Jon doesn’t really want to have anything to do with her, but soon it turns out that Esther knows Jon even better then he knows himself. With Esther, Jon feels things he never felt before, including certain emotions while having sex. Esther has lost her husband and child and is very vulrenable, but also wise, open and kind.
