Comments on: Paul Was Right: (500) Days of Summer is a Terrific Movie http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2010/01/21/500-days-of-summer-review/ Thu, 20 Jun 2013 04:08:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Sammy http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2010/01/21/500-days-of-summer-review/#comment-56574 Sammy Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:40:39 +0000 http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2010/01/21/500-days-of-summer-review/#comment-56574 I loved this movie. I loved it so much because I happened to relate to Summer’s character. I am on the complete other side of Tom. I’ve always been the girl to not want to put labels on relationships and not take things too seriously.
Sometimes I wonder what it is that I do to make guys get the way they do. Seeing this movie, and seeing Tom’s character immediately fall into lust over Summer, I kind of see what it is.
You treat a guy like he is the most special person in the world, and he’s going to think he’s special. That is exactly what Summer did to Tom, the way she looked at him, touched him, everything. This movie showed me that, and how torturous it really is.
This movie was great and taught me a lot. It definitely was not a normal romantic comedy.
I loved Summer’s character because she was so quirky. I don’t think it was over the top. It was funny that she liked Ringo the best from the Beatles and I thought it was funny how she played around like an idiot in Ikea. As I said, I can relate.
Nice review Madison, couldn’t agree with you more.
BTW I LOVED the dance to Hall & Oates and I blast it in my car…the song rules!

I also loved the quote about the movie: “This is not a love story; it’s a story about love”.

Also I liked this remake of a scene from “Sid and Nancy” with Zooey being Sid and Joseph being Nancy. It was pretty funny: http://content.foxsearchlight.com/inside/node/3590

It was one of the best movies this year, but on the other hand there wheren’t so many good ones, imho. The scene when he hopped into the elevator and then cut to a depressed version of him was brilliant. Anyway I have to agree with one of the comments here that Zooey’s character was not likable. It was kind of a problem for me during the movie, since I really really like Zooey. I couldn’t quite see why the main character would be that interessted in her and I also don’t quite see the chemestry between them.

@Drester: mhm, well I realize that I never really considered Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as a love story or somthing.

Btw. in the movie I liked the cursing girl telling him not to be a pussy. It’s of course the girl from Kick-Ass ^^

@Madion: do you know that somewhat unrelated dance clip for the movie? Youtube “(500) Days of Summer [Bank Dance]“

Fair enough, and well said.

And in my past, I’ve ignored some red flags that would have sent other men running for the hills, and I really paid the price later on. So my ability to relate to Tom must have gone a long ways in my enjoyment of this movie.

If you could relate to this then it really spoke to you. I did find it an emotional film but didn’t identify with male lead. I’m a betting man and like to think I recognize a bad bet when I see one. The female lead had bad bet written all over her.

Anyway, I certainly can’t knock a movie that speaks to people (even if I wasn’t one of those people).
