(500) Days of Summer
Boy meets girl
Boy falls in love
Girl doesn’t
First-time filmmaker Marc Webb brings us an unparalleled postmodern love story. (500) Days of Summer is a story about love in real life. I saw this movie over Thanksgiving, and I fell in love. The split screens are brilliant, the team up is perfection, and as for the soundtrack… well that deserves it’s own post. Webb lets you see the City of Angels in a whole new way. Zooey Deschanel is one of my favorite actresses, and I think this is one of her best movies. This is a must see in my opinion. Personally, I’m looking forward to (500) Days of Autumn.
In one scene, Tom questions Summer about her previous relationships, and when asked what had went wrong, she replies, “What always happens. Life.”

I just saw this on the flight home from CA to NY. Amazing. For once it was nice to see something other than a hopeless romantic comedy.
You should also check out “Little Manhattan” – it’s about a boy falling in love for the first time at 4th or 5th grade. It’s great. You actually empathize with the character in so many different ways from the first time he holds the girl’s hand to the heartbreak. Seriously check it out and get back to me for feedback.
