love education

Although it belongs to the category of romantic light comedies, the theme of 500 days of Summer has nothing to do with the light comedy's optimism and happiness.
It is about a state that occurs in many people's emotional experiences: loving him or her more than he or she loves you.

Tom met Summer and firmly believed that Summer was his one.
Summer doesn't believe in so-called love, including all assumptions about true love.
So, after obtaining Tom's consent, the two started a relationship without a relationship that was indescribable.
Summer's motivation is pure, just have fun.
Tom, on the other hand, hopes that Summer will change for himself.
After 300 days, the fun is no more, and Summer withdraws in time, leaving Tom's overwhelmed ideal of love.
After 500 days, the two meet again, a thought-provoking conversation, and the summer officially ends.

In fact, if I count the love stories I have heard, there are indeed only a few people who are happy with each other. There are only two endings for unequal emotional pay: unbearable disintegration, and continuing to endure in order to change.
From this perspective, 500 days of Summer is a love education: educate people how to get rid of the blindness of love, educate people how to treat their lovers rationally, and educate people how to continue to believe firmly after being burned by love.
Anyone who has truly loved knows how difficult it is to do the above three points.

Love and career, the two major pursuits in life, are in essence one, and both are ways of self-affirmation. Love is to confirm one's own value through the recognition of a certain opposite sex, and career is to confirm one's own value through social recognition.
I agree with what Zhou Guoping said.

The ultimate meaning of love is to experience one's existence for a long time, so a true lover must be a person who projects his own values, ideals, and hopes. Summer is such a person to Tom. It's hard not to fall in love in the face of a person who has concentrated all the good things one can imagine and recognize.
But the ending is not ideal, true love, what's wrong?

The story of 500 Days begins with a hypothesis: Summer is supposed to be the right one.
When Tom was immersed in all the good things he found in Summer that fit his ideal of love, he ignored the door in Summer's heart that was not willing to be the one for Tom open door.
So, Tom assumes that Summer is his true love, assumes that Summer will accept him one day, and assumes that the romance will continue after the reunion.

Most people assume that after an unforgettable encounter, because assumptions make the story complete.
Tom endowed Summer with too many values ​​and pursuits that he hoped for, and eager to gain her affirmation, Summer pulled away and Tom lost the ideal self projected on Summer.
So, the reason why love is blind is not in its object, not in emotional disturbances under the influence of hormones, but in our fear of self-denial.

People who are lost in love will have such an experience, until you find the part of yourself that you lost in the last relationship, you can completely walk out of that person's shadow and see the light of day again.
In the end, in the words of Summer once and after the reunion, Tom regained the dream of an architect and the ideal of love that was denied together with himself, and rebuilt himself when the summer was over and the autumn was approaching.

This romantic light comedy filled with the troubles of young Werther is unique and ingenious. It is unique in that a young man and woman are immature in a sour love, but they obtain a wise answer in the process of persistently interrogating the truth of love; ingenious in the time of 500 days of love The clues extend from the middle to the two ends. Maturity and innocence are like two intertwined colors. The gorgeous collision brings romance, wisdom and fresh light to summer.

500 Days of Summer, grow in love, love and be loved in growth.

    The second brush, the relationship movie, the dialectical flow of beliefs in true love and fate; the director is a music-related background, using a lot of ingenuity (what is the so-called database narrative), the timeline is edited out of order, and the editing points are mainly emotional and similar. Scenario, there really is a positive version at station B; is Shamo considered green tea? She said at the very beginning that she would refuse the relationship with her lover, and Jiao Zefu promised to make an exception in her heart. After all, the two have different ranks and goals.
