Unsweetened (No Sugar Coating); The Most Honest Romantic Movie in my Opinion

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2012)

500 days of summer is probably the first in a romantic genre to earn a near-perfect score in my favourite list. It has the perfect, unconventional and almost totally un-clichéd method of telling a love story, which by the way is perhaps the most truthful description of the complexities surrounding relationships with a high failure probability in the end.
I also truly salute some of the statements made in this movie -- some examples being the blame on the materialistic nature of the modern world for casting a plastic veil on the integrity of love and why fate is not what it is -- they were so boldly made because they are definite taboos to be mentioned in other romantic movies! Not to mention the ending is probably one of the best i have seen in years! Well, to fall in love with a movie that shows love does not always win but it is not an emotional sore loser either, as one moves on with life from the experience as a better person. Perhaps I may be among the rare breed that feels this is the most honest romantic movie yet.
