M!D! SUPACHOICE : 500 Days Of Summer

There’s absolutely nothing to watch. That’s it. I’ve declared it for the rest of the month that you’ll end up sitting alone at home going through every single HBO movie you can find just because it’s in High Def. Well there might be some good offerings at the cinemas but highly doubt it’s The Last Air “Gender” Bender (if anyone has actually see this movie, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors). So for now I’ve decide to write up on some past movies, golden gems and diamonds in the rough which you might or might not have heard of. First up is the romantic love tale staring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel entitled 500 Days of Summer.

Hallmark moment no. 235

The story revolves around Tom who works in a greeting card company. Naturally this hasn’t always been Tom’s ambition as he is secretly inspiring to be an architect. One day however, the company hires a new administrative staff that goes by the name of Summer. Not too long soon, Tom starts to find himself drawn to the ever quirky and attractive Summer and decides to pursue her. But as most love stories, nothing is ever really that easy.

Is your father a baker?

Firstly, I think both actors fit their roles perfectly though I did have some reservations for JGL but all that has been clearly justified with the film’s success at the Sundance Film Festival. JGL plays the nearly man (the one who is struggling to make it but hasn’t quite got that inner belief to make it, which probably quite a huge representation of the male population) while Zooey plays the girl next door (the one that you easily fall in love with but you just know will never be able to hold on to). The story looks back at the love between them and it is told without a timeline (i.e not from start to finish but more like jumping from back and forth just like the Delorean in Back to the Future). The style to which the movie was shot was refreshing, fun, young, quirky, artistic and full of life (which is what love is basically all about). By doing the jumping timeline, it keeps moviegoers at the edge of their seat and excited to try and figure out what went on between Tom and Summer during those 500 days.

Deep down Tom knew those weren't ordinary brownies

Well I just have to say that I absolutely loved this film. There have been quite a lot of movies depicting romance and relationships but this is definitely one of the few movies which I think most guys can relate to. In most cases you’d go to watch a love film and half the time it is told from the girl’s point of view, but this isn’t the case with 500 days of Summer. It is bursting with male sensitivity with a touch of realism. HU-AH. We tend to watch sappy love films to have this dosage of falling in love and getting the girl and they all live happily ever after. 500 days of Summer takes you back to a time where we have all loved and lost and tried to make sense of everything. It’s funny how re-living the moments where things didn’t work out is something we cherish and think about more than a happy ending itself.
