500 Days of Summer

Finally, after a series of thrillers and fantasy movies, here comes the 500 days of Summer, the first romance-comedy on this blog.

The story is about Tom, a greeting card writer, meets Summer, a girl that he fell in love with almost at the first sight. The problem is - Summer never believes in true love. The film then narrates - in a fun way - the subsequent 500 days over the pathyway of love.

Watching this film is like enjoying a large bowel of fruit-salad, you got spoonfuls of mixed taste of love in a row, from romance, sweetness, passion to disappointment and heartbreaks. Well, right, love is definitely the most complex chemical reactions that ever exist - its unpredictable, non-reproducible, and - not quite scientific.

The tidal love between Tom and Summer might be quite a realistic mirror of all the lovers in the world. The emotional complexity and irrationality involved is what keep the couples exploring on. Putting together two people with different backgrounds and personality in such an intimate relationship would of course, from time to time, generate tension. But perhaps, it is the difference that make one attractive, and make him/her the unique and irreplacable one.

P.S. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is so charming!
