Lets face it guys, we all had our share of those love-sicken romantic story line movies that are cute as hell but purely unrealistic. Yeah, you know those movies that will have you crying yourself to sleep and have Drake’s playlist on repeat for weeks cause you can’t and probably will never find a love like that. Yes, sorry to break it to you simp-atrons but those movies is utter bullshit. If you really want to know what goes down in the REAL world with REAL people you really should look into watching ‘(500) Days of Summer’.
The narrator bluntly is quick to let you know from the start that the story IS about a man and a women but it is NOT a love story. To sum the movie up in a few sentences, there is a guy name Tom who believes in love and well there is Summer, on the other hand, who says she doesn’t believe in love but ends up ditching Tom and later gets with another guy.
We all have been a Tom in certain scenarios and we may have acted like a Summer in other cases, don’t front. That is why this movie is probably one of the sincerest movies out there. We may have met someone that is completely flawless to us and we intensely believe is the missing piece in our lives and that is when the ‘chasing’ stage begins. Headaches, heartaches, mixed signals and all those crushing feelings are bound to occur but we are still in denial that they may not feel the same way just to find out it just wasn’t meant to be.
You really can’t be mad at Summer for leading Tom on cause in the real world we may have done exactly what Summer did to Tom. We may be a little curious and interested in the beginning, we test the waters out, try to make it work but it just doesn’t work out and resort to telling them you just want to be friends.
This movie is crammed with a cluster of things that some may say can closely relate to prior experience with an individual or even their current. Yes, it is a sad movie but in the end it’s life and happy endings are only for fairytales.
