500 Days of Summer
Summer is my kind of girl.
The kind of girl I want to love if I were a guy, the kind of girl I want to be - independent, carefree, spontaneous, quirky yet cute.
I loved the show so much because I thought Zooey Deschanel was beautiful in there. Her dressing, her portrayal of the free-spirited Summer.
And I thought she got Love right.
Love is so unpredictable.
Someone can love you so much, put so much effort in it, but if you don't feel it, you don't feel it.
You can't force love.
It comes, or it doesn't.
I love how Love is portrayed as something spontaneous, something that just happens in the movie.
And fate? Coincidence? Who knows?
But I personally feel that they do play a part in Love.
Love comes in different forms. Tom loved Summer, and maybe Summer did love him the same way for awhile, but it quickly changed to something more platonic.
I think Love is special that way.
When you meet someone, and that person brings out that kind of love, the one that is raved about so much, I guess that's when you can fully commit yourself to loving that person.
Just like Summer did.
I feel sad for Tom not getting the girl of his dreams.
But I think those emotions came about only because it was shown in his point of view.
Ultimately, love is a battlefield.
There'll be other people fighting for the person you love.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Other than that, the movie was really nicely shot and produced.
I loved the thought and creativity that went into it.
I loved how it was timeless - it seemed current, yet from some time ago. No years were mentioned yet you know that no matter when it happened, it is so applicable to today.
I loved the scrolling through time, back and forth.
I loved how the lighting throughout was warm and the shots had sepia tones to it.
I loved Summer's wardrobe - vintage skirts.
I loved the little drawings here and there.
And I'm such a sucker for non-contemporary love stories.
