Looking At Summer's 500 Days From A Different Angle

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2011)

''This is not a love story. It's a story about love.'' sentences probably best explain what this movie is about. However, a deeper explanation is needed for the main characters Tom and Summer.
Remembering the scenes 'expectations and reality'', for our couple Tom and Summer it could be said that they don't match with each other. Besides, to my mind, this is not a ''miserable'' movie. In the end, everybody just follows their own path in life. Summer may be indecisive and have some unbalances in her relationship, whereas Tom has exaggerations about love and some biases on feelings that two people have for one another.
After watching it over and over again, I came to the conclusion that this film has its own philosophy. Love is weaved so delicately in it. Let me say, when you watch 500 Days of Summer carefully, take the gist of it out of the motion picture's brilliant magic.
Finally, I'd like to say that they don't need any relationships. They need 'real'ationships without dreams and high hopes.
