movie recommendation: (500) Days of Summer

Friday, September 9, 2011

I've seen this movie countless times - and when I mean countless, I literally mean that I can't even count how many anymore. It has easily become of one my favorites. For some reason, I just love it so much!

Maybe it's the fact that the story itself was such a great surprise in the first place. Or maybe I love it because of the extremely realistic and believable characters, or the fact that the actors who played these people are some of my favorites. I've always had a huge crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt ever since 10 Things I Hate About You and have also always just adored Zooey Deschanel! Or it could also be because of its amazing soundtrack, its fresh script, its unique way of story telling, or the number of quotable quotes that can be discovered. Perhaps, it's because the story is honest and true; perfectly relate-able. Or really, maybe it's because it's just so darn adorable and heart wrenching at the same time that despite the fact that I can't pinpoint the exact reason, I know I'm so in love with it.

Well, last night, I saw it again. And even though this is the millionth time I've watched it, I have to tell you, it just doesn't get old. The heartbreak, giddiness, and everything else that comes with the movie felt exactly the same.
If you haven't seen it and you like good stories... then this might be for you.

  1. I love 500 Days of Summer! Though Summer is a bit if a biatch, I just never understood why she treats him so badly! But I adore the structure, styling, soundtrack and the stars! That's a lot of 's's...

  5. This is a great movie.

    Zooey is pretty fab. My husband and I were just talking about her. I was saying, girls want to be her friend and boys love her. I've actually never met anyone that doesn't like Zooey.

    I like that the story is realistic. The path to love is rarely easy.

  6. I love this movie too! It was so well done and I thought it was wonderful that it didn't have your average rom/com ending.

  7. Kathy - Very cute, isn't it??

    Belle - It's interesting; people will always have different opinions about Summer. Some hate her and think she was just cruel, and others would find that she's just a normal, human being who was honest enough about what she wanted. I actually am the latter :) But then again, I did feel incredibly horrible for Tom :(

    Aly - I really think you will like this!

    Marce, Pepca - I recommend it!

    Juju - Ahh 'the path to love is rarely easy.' I feel like this movie depicted that very well, I agree. Oh and Zooey is my 'girl crush!' She's just super classy and adorable! Sings well too :) Have you heard her song, Change is Hard? Very good.

    Melissa - I agree. It was very unexpected but really nice to see.
