500 Days Of Summer (2009) 4/5 Stars

SPOILER ALERTS starts from here.
Do not continue reading if you do not want to get any spoilers.

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel this movie shows upon reality in about that delusional relationship most people have even experienced before.

It is a story that shows us in some relationships they do not always have a good ending. That in some baseless love stories, one person always love more than the other.

Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a guy who worked as a greeting card writer. He has actually always fancied the matter of architecture but never really pursue it. His whole life, he always have a perception that love is beautiful, love is grand, he watched “The Graduate” when he was a kid and therefore he has a strong believe in love and the idea of a soul mate.

When Summer (Zooey Deschanel) the new staff walked in the office where he worked, Tom felt instantly (love at the first sight) that Summer is the girl that he has always dream of meeting aside from her average looking posture.

This movie get a top-notch grasp of some love stories that do not told a lot in movies. We always believed in this fantasy that when we meet our “the one” it will all be like the Cinderella story or at least like Titanic. But no, sometimes we want to believe so much in love that we become delusional and biased, and that is where reality of love is laid down in front of us.

Unless you are a sucker over a total happy ending story, this movie is highly recommended. It has a good script, good actors, nice directing.

It is easily one of the best movies of 2009.

4 out of 5 Stars
