Now this is the only real "Chick Flick" that i ever enjoyed and I still don't feel like it is a chick flick. It is the story of Tom. He meets Summer. The End. This movie is my 2nd Favorite movie because it shows real life situations. I had a similar expirience with a girl named Tiffany and the depression I felt was similar to toms. I saw the movie around that time and the music really comforted me. The movie tells the story in a wierd way. It starts with some day later in time (Dont expect me to rewatch the movie just for you.) He is sad because Summer Just left him. Then it jumps back to day 1. He lives his life up until about day 5, when he jumps back into the future. Although the story is told out of order and it doesn't have many surprises, the aspect that makes this a good movie is the fact that it is realistic. (I hate to compare it to this but it is the only example i have,) Just like The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. (Don't hate me because I refer to a book that will never be made into a movie.) The movie repeats the jumping up process over and over. This movie made me love Joseph-Gordon Levitt (Not so much Zooey Deschanel.) His acting in this movie is Superb and after i saw it the first thing i did was search every movie ever made under his name. The cinematography is amazing such as the Expectations/Reality scene where Tom goes to a party and they simultaneously show what he expected and what actually happened. Also the "Suffering" Scene was great. This soundtrack is in my opinion the best and most well blending soundtrack ever to have existed in a movie. This soundtrack is the only one i have ever bought. It introduced me to WolfMother, The Doves, Mumm-Ra, and most importantly the Iron horse of all artists in the (500) Days of summer Soundtrack, Regina Spektor. On a youtube video of the song Hero by Regina Spektor (Which is featured in the movie) the top comment is: Whenever i hear this song I feel Tom's Pain. I felt that the same was for me. It all leads up to Tom moving on with his life and i hate to quote a John Lennon Song but:
"I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go round and round"
"I really love to watch them roll"
"No longer riding on this marry-go-round"
"I just had to let it go"
(Think about the importance of this quote.)
In conclusion this movie is genuinely funny and also heartwarmingish. <---- Real word!
I definitely reccomend it.
P.S: I don't have to mention the Hall and Oates Flash Mob scene because if I did it would be considered a sin among fans.
p.p.s: What i meant was i don't want to spoil it.
