500 Days of Summer [spoiler]

I waited a long time to watch this movie and finally watched it last night. Overall, I think it was an enjoyable movie. Loved the “feel” of the way the film was pieced together and the music was great too.
It seems that in general, most guys hated the movie and most girls liked it. I know that that sentence has a few implications to it and it might imply that I’m a girl. I’m not. But here’s how I see it:
Summer was definitely messed up. That doesn’t mean to say that Tommy wasn’t an idiot. In one scene, Summer tells Tommy that she can’t give him what he wants and at that moment, he was OK with it. Lets just say he was thinking with his wrong head. But is it so absurd that someone can not want something they don’t fully understand? To Summer, she never experienced love and that’s why she never wanted a serious relationship.
So how did she end up married just a few months after breaking up with Tommy? She found the love of her life. That’s it. What she did was definitely wrong, but in THIS SCENARIO is it so far fetched? I don’t think so.
In any case, true love as media portrays it is not considered true love in my book. As Christians, we love because Christ loved us first. When we model that love to one another, it’s a beautiful thing.
Oh, and that Zooey Deschanel? Yeah, she’s freaking cute.
loveeeeeeeeeeee this movie. joseph gordon levitt <3

Couldn’t agree with you more brotha. I talked with some of my guy friends about this movie, and we all agreed that we all had that “summer” in our lives. It was spot on, especially the reality v. perceived scene. Anyway, besides Zooey, I also liked how they portrayed LA. It actually looked like a real city. Peace.
