My Favourite Movie of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2015)

"Why?" A simple question that my friends and acquaintances seem to always ask when I start talking to them about how amazing this movie is. The answer is simple, I believe that this movie is amazingly beautiful and relatable. It shows the ups and downs of being in love. It's aesthetically pleasing, it's light, it's quirky but not off-puttingly-weird, if this movie was a edible, it would be a macaroon. Think about it, a macaroon is sweet, light, pretty and yet, it looks weird -- I mean, seriously, what is a macaroon, is it supposed to be a mini sweet sandwich or something?
Aside from all of those obvious characteristics, this movie gave me one single virtue, "Love, such as life, is not always as we plan". Not so much to the extent as 'all-events-in-life- are-random-yet-interconnected-the-whole-Pulp-Fiction-vibe', but it gives insight to the beauty of life in itself.
The relationship that Summer and Tom developed was unhealthy, it was rushed, it was too much of a fantasy. Life isn't like that. I think that's what makes this film amazing, it tells us that life and our hopes and dreams don't always align. Yet, as the movie in its entirety shows, it's beautiful. Even when it's not always happy, life is beautiful. That's why this movie is amazing.
