Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
zahraa97hisham The only movie that I really hate but also really love at the same time!
barkinunluer 500 Days of Summer is a complete modern classic. The fluent story, the acting and the chemistry between Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are exceptional. Also the director, Marc Webb was a music video director before this first movie he made. He directed a lot of emo band's videos like My Chemical Romance and AFI which he gained so much experience from using music in a video. That's why, 500 Days also look like a very long music video with its 1:30 hour time and its largely usage of the soundtrack album. This perfect album is full of modern and classic indie bands with quality.The storytelling is absolutely adorable. If you are a man, you can relate yourself with Tom and love (and hate) Summer. And if you are a woman, well, i don't know lol.In my opinion, the most important thing of a work of art is the ability to make you watch / listen / read again. If you like a song, you listen to it once again, right? And i really love that movie which make me watch over and over again.Just like the storyteller said in the movie: This is not a love story. So aware of this beautiful truth and enjoy it!
willeasyer Before today I've never got the chance to watch it and focus on it from beginning to end, so I needed to give it a nice watch because I genuinely identify it plus I love the smiths, and I've been waiting to find that sparkle of true love since ever. Besides the obviosity of its visual beauty, excellent directing, writing and music it's a movie that describes what's like to be in love in a non conventional way, where the characters aren't the main subject. It's mainly about love and all phases of relationships with all its ups and downs and in such a stunning detail starting from the secret crush to honeymoon phase until reality catches up. It's about true love, and how unexpected and random it is, it can never be planned it just happens. That's why it touched me on a personal level if a relationship is over it means it wasn't the right one yet the most important thing is moving on and focusing on oneself and love will come at the right time without rush and that's what happened to Tom.
