(500) Days.. that everyone can relate to.

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2010)

I was blown away by this movie. Don't get me wrong, I love these kind of movies (more of an indie feel), but I never could call one of them a must-see, besides maybe Juno, but (500) Days of Summer surpasses that by far. The acting is superb, the story is great, but it's the ending that sold me. However, behind the scenes is what really gives this movie an extra edge; the directing. The layout of this movie, the camera shots, just so much is so different, but so good! There is one instant when you're watching two depictions of the same scene, the main role's expectations and the reality. So smart. In the beginning, the narrator says that this isn't a love story. In more ways than one, it truly isn't. However, in that one aspect it's a love story that everyone knows...that first love. Or that love you're hesitant about. Everyone should take an evening to watch this, you will honestly not be disappointed. If you still aren't sure, I place this movie as my third favorite right behind Shawshank Redemption and Schindler's List just so you believe I have a good taste in movies!
