(500) Days of Summer

Lise:


I can't believe there hasn't been a thread started for 500 Days of Summer! It's a way refreshing take on the "Boy Meets Girl" story, and if you haven't seen it, you should. It may be indie, but it isn't pretentious at all; it's a very honest and bittersweet portrayal of how a relationship can deteriorate over time. To quote the writer, "it doesn't take two people to fall in love."

Both Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel do fantastic jobs acting, and the supporting cast brings much needed humor into the movie. For dealing with a rough subject like love, 500 Days of Summer is pretty lighthearted. Plus, it had an awesome soundtrack (yayyy, they included The Doves!)

For those of you who've seen it, what do you think? Can you relate more to the Summer character, or Tom? How realistic was the movie at depicting relationships?

A review in the New Yorker called it "a plastic void". That's all I know about it.

Haven't seen it, but from what I've heard this review was pretty spot on...

Then again, I live in a town of hipsters.

I just saw it today. It was incredible.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no! It's a shitty hipster Annie Hall ripoff. Run for your lives!
