Synopsis:
"This is not a love story. This is a story about love." The tag line pretty much says it all. This movie is about the story of a boy, falling in love with a girl who in reality was never really his. He falls head over heals in such a short matter of time with this girl who doesn't believe in love. When the two break up, Tom goes into a deep depression full of anger and a lot of drunken nights. He starts to throw all of his anger onto his work, which is making greeting cards. He decides to quit his horrible job and become an architect. While pursuing his career, he finds out the girl that brought him so much pain is engaged to be married! In the end, he realizes his rights from his wrongs and ends up meeting the next possible love of his life.
My Opinion: If I didn't love this movie I probably wouldn't have chose it to be my favorite movie. I've probably seen this movie over 100 times and I still love every moment of it. This film has a lot of different camera angles and several lens changes. The directer used music to show how Tom's mood changed in every scene. Marc Webb also would split the scene so on one side you could see the possible out come and then the actual outcome. All of the aspects in this movie just made me truly love this film.
Would I Recommend It?
Yes! The dark humor and sarcasm between actors is worth the watch. I think every one should give (500) Days of Summer a chance!
