This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of (500) Days of Summer, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true to life and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year-and-a-half of one young man's no-holds-barred love affair.
Tom, the boy, still believes, even in this cynical modern world, in the notion of a transforming, cosmically destined, lightning-strikes-once kind of love. Summer, the girl, doesn't. Not at all. But that doesn't stop Tom from going after her, again and again, like a modern Don Quixote, with all his might and courage. Suddenly, Tom is in love not just with a lovely, witty, intelligent woman—not that he minds any of that—but with the very idea of Summer, the very idea of a love that still has the power to shock the heart and stop the world.
awesome movie love to watch it agian
Honestly, I was not interested in watching it at all when it came out. But everyone said it was great. So the other day I rented it and...
I loved it! Such a good movie!
This movie is absolutely FABULOUS. I love it. Zooey Deschanel is a new favorite actress of mine. I love that it's set in Los Angeles, one of the most beautiful cities in the world (as it was said in the movie... I love there). Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a amazing actor, with adorable boyish charm that will captivate the hearts of viewers worldwide. This movie was definitely #1 on my list of top movies of 2009. The soundtrack's also pretty great. I love everything about the film. :D
