(500) Days of Summer [DVD] [2009]

Perhaps its because I waited to see the film After it had already generated a descent amount of positive feedback. But by the time I got through to the rolling credits... suffice it to say I was hardly thrilled. Thematically, the film hits on some interesting ideas-- meeting the expectation set by the narrator that it was indeed Not a love story but rather a story about love. It certainly defied the conventional love story plot points. But, in a sense, I felt like the main ideas were pushed so far to the forefront that it kind of ruined the journey for me as an audience member. It almost felt like, in their attempts to Defy the expectations of a classic love story, the filmmakers flipped too far to the opposite, making the movie seem equally as predictable as the typical romances they were attempting to revolt against.

Zoey.!!

Arrived as scheduled.

Der Film an sich ist nicht schlecht. Der Trailer verrät allerdings schon einen beträchtlichen Teil und viele Pointen des Films.

This definitely wasnt what i expected from this movie, but i really enjoyed it. It was so true. This is how things seem to happen a lot. I would definitely recommend it. You just need to understand what it really is.

Days of Summer is a splendid 2009 love story about a pair of young adults in a large city (pegged at 3.8 million at one point in the film) who meet at work, develop love for each other, and pursue that. The story is told in the 500 days it takes for the male, Tom, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was so excellent as a confused fall guy in

Really good movie, its a little slow but its really good

Good movie

Im a big fan of Zooey Deschanel in New Girl, the genius comedy by Liz Meriwether. So I thought Id check out another of Zooeys works. Unfortunately 500 days is a rewrite of the age-old belle dame sans merci with a few strokes of color and music for added interest. Summer is a cold, distant, yet exciting young woman who easily captures the misguided passion of Gordon-Levitts character. As she sends him mixed signals, he becomes more smitten, until she suddenly breaks up with him. The end has a redeeming twist in which Tom realizes that he wasnt exactly the attentive lover that Summer needed, and their chemistry wasnt all that perfect either. Save for that flash of clarity, the rest of the movie is a sickening ride through the angst of unrequited love, which I didnt particularly enjoy. Ill be sticking to Deschanels more flesh-and-blood, lovable character Jess!

I love non-linear film making styles and this lovable little film does that as well as you could want! Zooey does a great job alongside Joseph in starring roles. Film looks great on bluray!
