(500) Days of Summer – Movie Review
(500) Days of Summer was released in 2009 and it’s comedy drama film. It’s directed by Marc Webb and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. The movie is starred by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.
The movie tells about Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), a girl who doesn’t believe true love exists, and Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a guy who falls in love with her. The story is not a love story but it is a story about love. Tom thinks that Summer is a love of his life, but Summer doesn’t even believe in love. They still start to date with each other but that doesn’t work out very well.
The movie is presented in a nonlinear narrative, as the movie jumps from various days within the 500-day period of Tom and Summer’s relationship. That’s why you need to focus on the movie that you know what day it is.
A soundtrack of this movie was released on July 14, 2009 and it includes 16 songs. The music is indie rock, alternative rock and folk.
I like the movie and I think it is great but sometimes I feel that it was hard to keep up with day it was because of that jumping back and forth between days but it also makes the movie interesting. I also like how the movie ends.
I’m agree with the writer (possu). Sometimes the movie was difficult to understand because of going back and forth with days.
I thought the movie was very good too. I especially liked the narrative choices, even if they made the movie harder to follow. Also the soundtrack was great.
