MOVIE REVIEW ABOUT 500 DAYS OF SUMMER (2009)

The movie really gave the thinking that there is perfect love that are not meant to last, a
perfect example of perfect love at wrong time. Particularly when reflecting on a broken romance,
we never remember events in chronological order. We begin at the end and move back and forth
between the happy and painful moments. People frequently advise starting at the beginning, but
we weren't aware that it was the beginning at the time. A movie that does this is "500 Days of
Summer."

Movies are supposed to comfort us that events occur in an ordered succession, and others
say they're disturbed by the way it starts on Day 488 or whatever and then bounces around,
delivering unhelpful data labels: "Day 1," "Day 249." However, Tom recalls his love, Summer,
as a succession of delights and mysteries. What kind of lady has your complete and undying
affection, is single, and has no desire to ever get married?

To play such a woman, Zooey Deschanel is a wise option. She would never play a
clinging vine, in my opinion. too feisty. She looks at Tom calmly and is who she is as Summer.
Her intelligence, charm, and beauty are genuine; it's Tom's unfortunate luck. She always tries to
be honest with him. Tom cannot have her because she is unique.

Have you ever encountered someone similar? We believe what we want to believe in
romantic relationships. "500 Days of Summer" is so enticing because of this. Tom is smitten
with Summer the moment he first meets her. Perhaps his views on love are not as profound as,
example, those of the Romantic poets. He creates greeting cards, and you wonder if he believes
them. Amazingly, people are compensated for work like that. Summer is the new assistant to his
employer, and I could say, "Love is a rose, and you are its petals." She decides to transfer over
the Xerox machine one day since she likes his appearance.

Can he understand that she only likes him now and not always? Tom struggles with that
truth throughout the hilarious comedy, which is the subject of the film. Marc Webb, the director,
appears to be looking for examples from other movies to use as a guide when telling this story;
this is not out of desperation but rather humor. There are some black and white, musical
numbers, and Fellini references, which are always effective in conjuring images of men in the act
of yearning. Tom spends the entire film in the same psychological predicament as Mastroianni in
"La Dolce Vita," with his hand always extended toward his unreachable ideals.

Perhaps because we keep expecting her to give in with Tom throughout the entire movie,
Summer stays enigmatic. We perk up when we understand that she is not compelled to do so in
this movie because it is not abiding by Hollywood conventions; anything might happen. The
chaotic time structure escapes the three-act grid's constraints and thrashes about with the freedom
of amorous uncertainty.

Men enjoy instructing women, among other things. It is advisable for a woman to pretend
to be a man's pupil in order to charm him. This deceives men. Tom didn't set out to become a
poet of greeting cards; he wanted to be an architect. He leads Summer on an architectural tour
and they both have the same favorite Los Angeles vista (which you might have never seen
before). This is entertaining not because we get to see beautiful structures, but because it happens
so infrequently in movies that characters defend their aesthetic principles. What does the typical
character portrayed by an A-list celebrity think about goodness and truth? Has Jason Bourne ever
spent a day off visiting a museum?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is highlighted in this role as a believable, likeable guy who is
hopeful but often disappointed, a little Tom Hanksian, and has appeared in a variety of films,
from one of the "Halloween" sequels to the indie masterpiece "Brick." He is resilient enough to
want love and vulnerable enough to be wounded. Zooey Deschanel conjures the way some ladies
can make you envious while never seeming to think twice about it. Although the film's bizarre
supporting cast concealed it, she also possessed such trait in the underappreciated "Gigantic"
(2008).

Tom declares at the movie's opening that it won't be your normal love story. Are you like
me and get irritated when you realize a movie is running automatically? How long can the
characters maintain their denial about the plot's outcome? Rarely does a movie start by telling us
how it will finish and about a hero who doesn't understand why.
