I can't tell why I like this movie so much until I read this passage.

A long time ago, I thought about the future scenario many times, and I thought about how it was when I finally gave up on you one day.
I thought I would wake up on a sunny morning and find that I no longer love you, and then start my new life.
However, I found out that I was wrong.
In fact, after I started a new life, in a subtle, ordinary moment, I suddenly discovered that I had forgotten you for a long time.
This is very sad at first glance.
I always think that my relationship with you is great, and its disappearance should also be a sensation.
But in fact its disappearance is quiet.
One day now, I told an old friend that I seem to fall in love with someone.
Old friends will not mention your name, but quietly listen to my new relationship.
Occasionally someone will ask you-what about xx? Is there any contact?
Then I will think of you, and I will not know what to say for a while.
I used to love you so truly. I don't think I will have this kind of love for the second time in my life. A slight fluctuation in your emotions will cause my tears to flow into a river.
You are more than my God, you are my everything.
I still clearly remember what I said to you, what I talked to you, I still remember your evaluation of me, I remember the jokes or the truth you said.
I remember the first sentence you said to me, and also the last sentence you said to me recently.
I remember the nice things you told me.
Also remember the cruel words you said to me.
With so many words, I don't know how long I will remember, and I know I will feel a little bit happy or sad when I remember these.
But I don't think I will be in the drama like that again.
I don't know your recent life anymore.
I am no longer so interested.
I also no longer expect what kind of impression I will leave in your heart, nor will I imagine what kind of position I will occupy in your heart.
You either talk to me or don't talk to me.
You either appear in my life or disappear.
I don't mind that anymore.
I will no longer announce to others that I have given up on you.
Because real giving up is always silent.
A certain time, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month.
I vaguely and clearly find that I don't love you anymore.
And a long, long time ago, I thought this discovery would make me happy.
However, the fact is that at this moment when I type this text, my heart is sad.
The thing I fear most is not that I can't give up on you.
But one day like that, I suddenly don’t like you anymore

500 Days of Summer quotes

  • Summer: There's no such thing as love, it's fantasy...

  • Tom: Yeah, uh, this is... And Rhoda, no disrespect, but um, this is total shit.

    McKenzie: Tom!

    Tom: "Go for it" "You can do it"? That's not inspirational, that's suicidal. If pickles goes for it right there, that's a dead cat. These are lies. We're liars. Think about it. Why do people buy these things? It's not 'cause they wanna say how they feel. People buy cards 'cause they can't say how they feel or they're afraid too. We provide the service that lets them off the hook. You know what? I say to hell with it. Let's level with America. At least let them speak for themselves! Right? I mean, look! What-What is this? What does it say? "Congratulations on your new baby." Right? How 'bout, "Congratulations on your new baby. Guess that's it for hanging out. Nice knowing you."

    Vance: Sit down, Hansen.

    Tom: How bout this one, with all the pretty hearts on the front? I think I know where this ones going. Yep! "Happy Valentines Day, sweetheart. I love you." That sweet? Ain't love grand? This is exactly what I'm talking about. What does that even mean, "love"? Do you know? Do you? Anybody?

    McKenzie: Tom...

    Tom: If somebody gave me this card, Mr. Vance, I would eat it. It's these cards, and the movies and the pop songs, they're to blame for all the lies and the heartache, everything. We're responsible. *I'm responsible.* I think we do a bad thing here. People should be able to say how they feel, how they really feel, not you know, some words that some stranger put in their mouths. Words like "love"... that don't mean anything. Sorry, I'm sorry. I, uh... I quit. I'm... There's enough bullshit in the world without my help.
