500 Days of Summer
Classical romance movies can be
found anywhere at anytime these days. Even just a few clicks on our tv remote
we can watch one of it. But sometimes love stories are just a love story,
knowing, being close, and getting attached to each and some problems are
enclosed. Then i found this one is quite different from others. People always
think this film is about a love story, even
though the narrator said
“This is a story of boy meets girl,
but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.” 500 Days of Summer by a genius Marc Webb.
Telling about Tom Hansen, someone who really
believed in an idea of a true love.
He thought that he’d never be really happy until the day he
met the one. Tom radar’s caught Summer Finn, his boss’ assistant. He thought
Summer was the one for his life in the first time he met her. Summer was an idenpendent girl and someone who
couldn’t be tied by commitments.
Firstly,
Tom didn’t believe in his heart. He kept avoiding Summer until he found out
that Summer had some things in common with him. It encouraged him to get closer
with her. Unfortunetly Summer wasn’t looking forward to getting attached to
someone. They got theirselves in a friend zoned kind of relationship for a
quite long time.
Suddenly,
Summer said that what they had been doing was not right. Tom was startled and said that he was happy being
with her.
“Aren’t
you happy ? I’m happy.”said Tom
However Tom’s happiness wasn’t
Summer’s. This could be and could not be
said as a breaking up part because Tom and Summer was never really in a
relationship. Tom heart was cruelly torn apart. He got so depressed until he
made his bestfriends and sister worried. Yet still Tom wanted to get Summer
back, but then Summer moved to another city. Tom got more shattered then he
decided to sign out from his job.
“ Most days of the year are unremarkable.
They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days
have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday.”
Tom was
sitting on a park bench when suddenly Summer came over. Summer said that she
was already married. Of course he was shocked because she never believed in
love.
“ I
just... I just woke up one day and I knew. “
“Knew what?”
“What I was never sure of with you. “
Tom couldn’t say anything but wished
Summer a happy life. Then Tom walking to an office to apply a job as a architect,
his real dream. Arriving in the office he met a girl. A girl that said that she often saw
Tom in some places but Tom didn’t realize. A girl that said that Tom hadn’t
been really looking. A girl named,autumn.
Firstly, viewers were directed
to imagine their own plot of this movie but then they’re amusingly surprised
that the plot they’d made were wrong. Marc Webb made this story very light to
accept but rich of contents and moral values. The dialogs were brought casually
but implicitly deep. That’s why i put some of them in this review.
I thought this movie is
different also because the plot was going forward then backward then forward
again, but still understandable. It started on the 488th day of “Summer” and
ended on the 1st day of “Autumn”.
Joseph Gordon Levitt as Tom
Hansen starred this movie perfectly. He could act his part like he was really
feeling it. Beautiful actress Zooey Deschanel could be Summer Finn perfectly
too. Their chemistry in this movie were what made it was really nice to watch
also.
However i still believe that the director Marc Webb and
the writers Scott Neudstadter and Michael H. Weber are geniuses behind this
movie. Marc who was really experienced
by creating many well known music videos made this movie really epic and Scott with Mike really made a genius high
class literature in its dialogs.
