thoughts on 500 days of summer

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2019)

(500) days of summer does a great job of executing a realistic relationship that people of different ages can relate to in different ways which is why I think that it's so great.
As the story jumps around the timeline of their relationship it keeps it continuously engaging as you can clearly see the development without waiting the whole movie to see the development.
This movie also ages really well. If you watch it in different points in your life you will certainly have new perspective and interpretations of the characters/the story line in general. They keep the dialogue interesting and realistic along with the soundtrack/score. Also the incorporation of the unique style (showcasing the expectation/reality for example) makes this movie very aesthetically pleasing to look at.
I have conflicting feelings on the musical number as on one hand it was a nice change of pace/tone but it did feel a little out of place. This movie is able to change tone really well without feeling messy or chaotic.
I found this movie really impressive and one that you can continue to rewatch as you get older.
