(500) Days of Summer is undeniably good. As much as I wanted to hate it for its cuteness, it really is a great movie, full of great dialogue, acting, and filmmaking. Nearly every scene was memorable, from the one pictured above where Tom and Summer have an endearingly awkward convo about the Smiths to the Hall & Oates song and dance number. Zooey Deschanel made me swoon, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt made me, well, can't just about every melancholy-ish guy out there relate to his character?The thing about this movie that really got me though was how realistic it was. You see the little idiosyncracies that every couple has. Summer and Tom play the penis game and pretend that a kitchen in a department store is their own. This is the kind of stuff that really gets an audience to pay attention and develop a profound connection with the characters. It ended brilliantly as well, sort of the same way Adaptation ended if I remember correctly.
I really hope this movie becomes the next Juno or Little Miss Sunshine. It's certainly the best thing I've seen this year.
