The Ugly Truth of Love

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2012)

I like Zooey Deschannel. Never watched her movie before, but I like her huge eyes, innocent face, the suitable hair do. When I moved my TV channel randomly, I found there were '500 Summer', and Zooey became the lead actress. Wow, I have to watch it! In the beginning of the movie, we were warn : this not a love story. Then what? But I still watch it, since Zooey in the movie. And, what's more attracted me with the appearance of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Why his name so familiar? and of course, his face. When every scene, described as what days in those 500 hundred days, I just knew this was not an ordinary movie. This was something!
The scene opened when Summer Finn became new employee at Tom Hansen's office. Tom just grabbed with Summer's beauty and interested to know her better. In karaoke night after office hour, Paul reveal to Summer that seems Tom fancy her. By that time Summer and Tom become getting closer, they spent much time together. They were very closed, but there was no official statement what kind of relationship they had. But Tom, officially, in love with Summer and assumed they had something, while Summer? No, she still tag Tom as her friend. They have floating relation, as Tom find out is there any possibility he and Summer become a couple as he wish?
What I love about this movie is the right lighting and beautiful images. It was in sepia color, made romantic ambiance. and don't forget about the playful narrator, and lesson we can take in love matter. Punch me hard and slap my cheek, instantly. :)) You can keep quotes of this movie, to remind you, love is not like a fairy tale, but love is still, something beautiful to fight for. Oh yes, have to noted about Rachel Hansen here. a 12-year old girl, Tom sister, giving him advice in romance. :)) Overall, really recommend movie to watch. :)
