500 days of love quagmire self-extrication manual

I like the way this movie is edited. Looking back on a lost love is to constantly replay clips from different times, some sunny and some cloudy. In the process of our pursuit of true love, it is like stumbling and rolling in a forest full of mud. When you are willing to fall into one of them, you can enjoy it like a mud hot spring, but when you feel that you are about to get it To be submerged and suffocated, you will do your best to extricate yourself from it.

TOM fell in love with SUMMER, a netizen said something interesting, it is a story of a girl who doubted love since she was a child, and was deeply in love with a boy who believed in true love and destiny since she was a child. Or from my point of view, SUMMER is relatively complex in thinking and rich in experience, while TOM is relatively simple and can become more mature in the subject of love.

Although it is two weeks after watching the movie, and many interesting ideas were not immediately written down, there are certain details that can be linked to this discussion.

promise. When I watched how TOM and SUMMER's love fell, I thought of this cliché. SUMMER said at the beginning that she thinks that no one in the world belongs to anyone, and it is a great thing to belong only to herself, so she does not want a boyfriend. But TOM doesn't mind because he's with her and he thinks she can change her "don't care about forever, only about having". SUMMER acted like an old lover in this early move. Even if you want to separate in the future, because of this pre-declared agreement, you can't accuse me of it. And when the relationship between the two heats up or there is a rift, TOM can't help but ask, who am I to you?

Fear comes from not knowing what's ahead, not knowing where I'm going. TOM doesn't know if his feelings can blossom and bear fruit, but SUMMER said that as long as he is happy, even if SUMMER says, "I will accompany you to the end", TOM can settle down, but SUMMER has long since admitted that he is not willing Stable thoughts.

And why can't TOM bind SUMMER's heart? Is it because their personalities don't match up, not because they're not happy when they're together? I don't think so. Anyway, their relationship is always like you and me who have experienced setbacks. They end up without a problem in the abrasion of countless minutes and seconds. When one party wants to settle down and the other party is hesitant to decide, they return in different ways. When we think about it in the future, Why does he or she have to be the one to accompany us to the end? The love that blossoms and bears fruit is meeting the right person at the right time. You may not love him or her the most, and he or she may not be the most suitable for you, but when you finally choose, you must be grateful and cherish it.

So when SUMMER told TOM how she met her current husband, she regained the kind of love that was destined to be, and TOM, after going through the sinking, decadence, and obsession that a lovelorn must go through, faced this The person who once deeply loved but ruthlessly destroyed him, sincerely wish her happiness.

People say don't hold grudges when you are broken up, you should be thankful, because past relationships have taught you something, and you must at least learn something from it. TOM should have matured a bit on the subject of love, but I don't want to say more about how he got out of the quagmire of love. Anyway, I can't tell the reason, and time is the best medicine.

At the end of the film, TOM went to a new company for an interview and met a beautiful girl AUTUMN. When TOM was hesitating whether to invite the girl for a cup of coffee after the interview, the narration was very interesting: "If Tom learns a lesson, It's just that you can't attribute some special significance to ordinary things, it's a coincidence, all things are like this." Yes, every thing is a probability calculation, what do you like, what makes you like it, Even if you came into the world it was a coincidental combination of sperm and egg, and the butterfly effect is everywhere. Later, when TOM summoned the courage to invite, the narrator said: "Tom finally understands that there is no miracle in the world, there is no such thing as fate, and nothing is predestined." Because, in the face of opportunity, everyone has right to choose. How many people have passed us by, and how many people have made our hearts unforgettable, even if there are seven points of destiny, it is useless without three points of personnel.

Love is beautiful, we must have faith to embrace beauty, and we must have the courage to strive for happiness. When AUTUMN was struggling for a while, he agreed to TOM's invitation. TOM's 500 days returned to zero, and the uncertain love journey began again.

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.
