(500) Days of Summer
Because it was deserving of its own review.
Oh man. It's been like over a week since I last saw it so maybe I should have refreshed my memory by seeing it again (I loved it that much) but I think I'll be ok. Firstly when I first started seeing promos for this film I was quite excited because I love both Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Then I was a little worried because I thought Australia wouldn't get a release for it (considering Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist was supposed to and then it didn't but now it's straight to DVD). Then of course relieved to find out it was coming to a theatre near me :) But when I saw the trailor on youtube I was again worried because I thought it would be one of those movies characters constantly name drop obscure music throughout the movie. But luckily when the film started all these fears dissipated. I just sat there with glee the whole time. I loved the way it was filmed. How they added an array of different film techniques throughout. As well as a narrator. I loved the soundtrack, especially the use of The Temper Trap's song Sweet Disposition and I did like the references to Joseph's character Tom's favourite bands and how they influenced his ideas of love. I loved the way Tom's and Summer's (Zooey's character) developed and how they showed it by going backwards and forwards along the timeline of their relationship. I liked how it showed us that even though you can have the best time with someone and absolutely adore them, that one day you could just wake up and feel completely different about them. And I loved that their relationship wasn't perfect and ended like that, even though when their times were good it seemed so perfect. Lastly what I also loved was what happened at the very end with the girl called Autumn, even though it could have been predictable, because I didn't predict it. If you haven't seen it. Please do.
