Is not your typical love story

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2019)

Opened on July 17, 2009 in the United States. Directed by Marc Webb. The movie boats the talents of Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tom) and Zooey Deschanel (Summer). Nominated for two Golden Globes.
The film is about a couple who dated for 500 days, but one of them was so dissatisfied with the break-up of the relationship that he decided to revive these days to find the answer to the question: " why did this happen?".
As Tom says this "is not your typical love story" because when the film start you imagine it will be a beautiful love story but it is really to put a damper. I love when Tom remember scenes and shows "the expectation" and "the reality", because when you are falling love you do not see the reality. The soundtrack represents the film faithfully.
Memory is a very important tool in dealing with relationship. What we remember will either help us or hurt us in the grand scheme of things. In Tom's case memory hindered him from achieving his personal goals in life. It wasn't until he realized his relationship with Summer wasn't meant to be that he was able to go out and get better. Summer looked back at her relationship with Tom and used that as a tool to find the man she would fall in love with and eventually marry. Memory is exactly what it is, so I recommend it, if you are looking for an unusual romantic film.
