    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "500 Days with Summer", it is precisely because director Marc Preston Webb has experience in handling small segments in music television, he also uses similar techniques to tell the whole story in this film. He does not talk from beginning to end like a regular movie, or completely recall the past, but irregularly connects some special days in the 500 days together by date, and at the same time has a strong narrative. Sex does not make people feel fragmented. This unique approach not only shows the relationship between Tom and Summer in the past 500 days and their true feelings of love, but also has been unanimously praised by film critics .
