Don Jon the movie is more, or less a film about the habitual nature of healthy and unhealthy sexual relationships. Jonny, who is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes the lead role of a troubled young man who gets his jollies off by watching porn on a daily basis. Porn to him is a way to lose himself completely, and in his own opinion is much better than the real deal. After meeting a girl named Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) at a local nightclub though his life of one night stands, and porno watching is turned topsy-turvy. Jonny ends up coming to the realization that porn isn't exactly as great as it seems, and that there's more to a relationship than just one-sided sexual desire. During a chance meeting with a much older female classmate (Julianne Moore) Jonny finds a way out of his addictive behavior, and begins to understand the meaning of true love/true love making. Both Jonny, and this MILF acquaintance find much needed comfort in each others company, and in a haphazard sort of way solve each others life issues at the same time. Through repeated visits with friends, the church clergy, and his new found MILF lover the points of lust, and love are driven home in a repetitive fashion that will definitely seem very understandable to a lot of people in the real world. As humans we'll find as Jonny did that not everything is as perfect as the adult film performers portray it to be, and that not everything is less than perfect when it comes to true love/love making. This is what I believe to be the message that director Joseph Gordon-Levitt obviously tried to send to his audience.
