Refreshing change from the typical romantic movies with those sickeningly predictable montage's!

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2009)

The only reason i give this movie a 9 is that giving a 10 raises expectations to a very high standard!! But, if like me you are sick and tired of movies in which everything corrects itself and becomes perfect in a montage of a some sickeningly heartfelt song then this is a wonderful change!!
(500)Days of Summer is a movie about young love and its naivety. The director perfectly depicts the various emotions Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)goes through and to Tom's credit he displays even the subtle ones to near perfection.
The cinematographic style is quite fresh and interesting, and for those who love Quentin Tarantino , also showed in a non-linear fashion. The narration is spectacular and to top it all it's an indie(for which i always had a soft-spot).
All in all its a refreshing change and in my opinion the best portrayal of a near love story since Love Story and The English Patient.
