Beautyfully composed

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2009)

The intro of the movie really makes you visualize the characters, Tom and Summer. Tom, the sad boy who just can't find happiness - which for him is the one girl. The melancholic and unstable mood of Tom Hansen makes your mind feel sorry for him, and you can recognize yourself in his situation. He finds himself in a situation where nothing is important in his life, he is making greeting cards for living, but in a way he can't express his own feelings. A normal day at work, Tom Hansen is feeling love at first sight. Summer. The girl he has been dreaming of. Tom really seems to be sorting things out with Summer, and never has life itself gone that way for Tom Hansen.
One of the things i love most with this movie is the composition. It goes back and forth in days, and you can see from day four in their relationship, and the next day could be sixty five. The musical choices are delightful and really matches with the feelings you sit with in the movie. This is no regularly romantic comedy, and maybe not so entertaining. But you sit with an impression after you've seen it, and thats why i've chosen to give it 9 out of 10 stars.
