It turned out not to be another vulgar romantic comedy movie. Although it is a clichéd love story after all, the fancy and interesting narrative techniques, the outstanding male and female protagonists, and the beautiful soundtrack make it a true "old bottle of new wine". The story jumps randomly on a timeline spanning 500 days. At first I thought it was superfluous, but later I discovered that this "randomness" was perfectly integrated with the style of the whole movie, full of vitality and did not disrupt the narrative rhythm. There is a certain logical and emotional connection before and after. The eye-catching performance techniques have also appeared many times. It can be seen that the director strives to innovate and avoid unconventionalism. For example, Tom goes to the Summer party in hopes of saving their love. Here the director uses the left and right screens, and the left screen is what Tom expects to experience. At night, it's a perfect romance, reuniting with Summer. The picture on the right shows reality. Tom was alone all night, and finally found that Summer was engaged. Another thing worth mentioning is the scene when Tom desperately left the party. He walked alone on the street late at night. Suddenly everything around him turned into gray lines, and then gradually blurred into white. Only Tom was left. A person stands in the middle and gradually disappears...
It turned out not to be the hero and heroine of the vase. Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance was too eye-catching. Tom’s dance on the street in the morning after sleeping with Summer for the first time, and the Tom’s collapse scene at the card seminar on Thursday. The ending Tom met again married Summer in the park. The two rivals, Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed very well! Zooey Deschanel is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it works seamlessly with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
It turned out not to be what we thought, everything was beyond our expectations. After watching "He Doesn’t Like You That So much" at the beginning of the year, and after the recent THE PROPOSAL, (500) Days of Summer really gave us a huge surprise. It turns out that Hollywood romantic comedies can be unconventional and don’t rely on vase faces. It can be so sensual and delicate, so that people can't put it down.
