Summer of the 500days (2009)

Summer of the 500days

   This movie is told general love story. So I want to know general story, so I saw this movie. But this movie is not general, some special. Some say they’re annoyed by the way it begins on Day 488 or whatever and then jumps around, providing utterly unhelpful data labels: "Day 1," "Day 249." Movies are supposed to reassure us that events unfold in an orderly procession. Firstly, story line is simple, Tom who believes deeply the fate woman to make him be happy is falling love to Summer and start the 500days. He is interested in her but he don't have chance to meet her. After some days, he met summer in elevator, soon they are familiar. But Summer who doesn't believe in love say "we are friend". So their relationship is odd. Not friend, not couple, so Tom worried about their relationship.  And they are soon broken up, because they are friend not couple. Summer said first, she doesn't want to be a serious relationship, so she said "we are friend". He is sad and recall her memory, and after one month, he forgot her, and he looks forward to become a architect, because it is his dream. Finally, he meets another woman who is autumn in architect interview.

 This movie is special in many sections. we may understand that Summer is bad girl. Because their relationship is broken up by her. And she marries other man. But the director's opinion is different. He blames him because his passive attitude. Summer act everything firstly than Tom such as said, meet, be a friend, kiss him, apologize. But Tom is very passive person. He thinks about her, he imagines about her, he defines her hobby, attraction, and don't approach her, protect her, blame her. This is very important thing in this movie. And he is changed his attitude after meeting her such as he quits his job and challenge to become a architect. Lastly, he approaches Autumn firstly. This movie says us "we have ever met Summer". Because Summer's existence is to change out passive attitude. I think this movie is very special compared other romantic comedies.
