(500) Days Of Summer

Ahhh.. 1st blog so i really don't know what am doing ;)

Went to see 500 days of summer a the cinema.
It was about a couple who met at work and got closer throughout the days together.
They both liked each other but they weren't "official" as they didn't wanted the same thing.

The movie played at different times of their time together skipping from the 3rd day to the 140th day back to the 54th day etc. I felt this made the film more unique than other rom-coms as you never got the story from the start to the end. But more of in a random sequence which was completely different to anything i had seen before. I did really enjoy it as i could relate to a lot of the scenes myself compared to some other films of this genre.

I also liked how the film was only viewed through the mans thoughts as this made it almost mysterious as you did not know what the girlfriend was thinking even though it was all her choices that determined the relationship between them.

The ending was completely different to any rom-com i have seen, as it ends on a disappointing note rather than a happy one. They don't end up getting back together as you would of thought, but actually goes off with another man and gets married.

Overall, I really liked the film, and the realistic view of the film made it far different to any rom-com I have seen as it was not "obvious" what was going to happen.

I give this movie.. 7/10 :)
