The so-called love is not a coincidence, let alone fate

500 Days with Summer is a low-budget independent film, but good enough to make you laugh, break your heart, and think. Many people say that this is a movie that heals broken love, but people who are deeply in love and can't extricate themselves will evoke painful memories after watching the movie. This movie is more suitable for those who have gone through broken love and know how to let go. Putting a pretty woman at the heart of the film seems like a stale sequence, but Mark Webb has a new twist. The film tells the story of how a man who was dumped by his girlfriend reminisced about the old days through interspersed time clues. Tom Hansen is a young man writing greeting cards, full of whimsy, hoping to get the true love of his life. Summer Finn is a wild and beautiful stunner who likes to be independent and doesn't want to be bound by anyone's feelings. Many people regard the process of two people's encounter, knowing each other as fate, and they believe in fate. It was fate that the hero and heroine met. Tom saw Summer and immediately determined that she was the love of his life. Her appearance brought endless vitality to the listless work. When a man meets the woman he likes, he will not take his eyes away from her. He is always paying attention, fascinated. Even though his heart is infinitely impulsive, Tom has never confessed. Emotionally, he is a shy and timid person. Like many men in reality, they only pay attention to the people they like, but dare not open their mouths to confess. They will only fantasize wildly. , but did not dare to take a step forward. If it wasn't for Tom's good buddies to help him express his feelings to Summer, I am afraid that the hero and heroine will always be friends on parallel lines. Unlike most women, Summer is a woman who yearns for independence and freedom. She believes that love is an illusory fantasy, and does not want or want to be an accessory to other people's feelings. This very casual point of view makes her look more like a playboy. , look around for excitement and satisfy your madness. Summer's apparent debauchery is rooted in her unhappy family. Her parents divorced at an early age, and a deep sense of insecurity is deeply rooted in her subconscious. She liked two things as a child: one is her beautiful black hair, and the other is to cut it without feeling, Tom's feelings for her are like beautiful hair, even if it is cut, it will not hurt. The relationship between the hero and heroine is doomed to be separated from the beginning, because they cannot meet the emotional needs of each other at all. Tom does not have self-confidence. His major is architecture, but he is content with the status quo and designs greeting cards; he is indecisive emotionally and needs his buddies to help him convey his thoughts; Inquiring, he was afraid and did not dare to confess, but just watched the other party turn and leave; he met her in the copy room, but did not dare to take a step forward, but Summer took the initiative to kiss him; in Summer's room, she opened up to Tom Heart, telling about the lonely dream, which marked the complete disappearance of the gap between the two, Summer put him into his heart, but he was overwhelmed, entangled in fear and doubts, and did not dare to take a step forward. Many people criticize Summer's debauchery. In fact, her randomness is just a manifestation of lack of security. She is afraid of being hurt in love and repeating the mistakes of her parents. If she doesn't ask for it, she will not give. She enjoyed the feeling of being ambiguous with Tom, but she also had a deep fear in her heart. In the relationship, the distance between the two people will retreat, and Tom's stagnation gradually brings this relationship to an end. Watching "The Graduate" in the cinema, Summer burst into tears, Dustin Hoffman is desperate for love, but she doesn't feel this kind of safety and fulfillment in reality. Don't forget that women are duplicitous animals, even if they say no, but their hearts desire it more than anyone else. The woman is also realistic, and when she sees the end of him and Tom, she proposes to break up at the pancake shop. Tom is emotionally useless, but also lovable because he is infatuated. He likes to listen to British sad pop music, and he is sure Summer is the love of his life. The party who was dumped in love will always recall all the good things in the past, because they are not reconciled and do not want to lose a sweet love. Tom was decadent in the days of breaking up. On the one hand, he wanted to forget Summer, but on the other hand, he was desperately remembering her beauty. Bad mood affects his life and work, the advice of friends is of no help, the care of colleagues is of no help, he spends his life in ignorance and curses the world hysterically. The reality is cruel, but fate often opens a skylight for a person who has no way out. By chance, Tom and Summer met again, and they happily talked, danced, and reminisced about the past. Tom seems to have returned to the past again, and once again has precious happiness. Summer invites him to his own private party, which he fantasizes about as a chance for them to start over. The joy is maddening when a desperate person suddenly gets a coveted treasure. At Summer's party, there is a huge difference between ideal and reality. Tom finds that Summer not only regards him as an ordinary friend, but also wears an engagement ring. It was a bolt from the blue, Tom slammed out the door, and at this moment, his world was completely over! Many strong-willed people can calmly face lovelorn, draw strength from lovelorn, and face work and life better, but it is obvious that Tom is not such a person. He is easy to be emotional, and it is easy to vent this emotion on himself and others. On the body, he collapsed and finally lost his job, leaving all things related to Summer behind him. Anyone who has experienced a lovelorn will have a time to come out. In the last fifty days, Tom began the process of spiritual reconstruction. He regained his architectural knowledge, continued to study, composed and painted, and looked for work everywhere. Over time, new architectural drawings appeared on the refreshed blackboard, marking Tom's final breakout. When the hero and heroine met again, Tom finally unraveled the knot in his conversation with Summer, and everything was relieved. There is a small detail in the movie, Summer took the initiative to hold Tom's hand, this is a hint of emotion, Tom's face in the camera has a very deep change, of course he knows the meaning of this hint, if he wants to. , he and Summer could still be lovers and have the same good times as before, but he didn't, he was indifferent from start to finish. After Summer understood, he got up and left. At this time, Tom stood up and gave his sincere wishes to Summer, wishing her happiness. So far, the story of the two has come to a successful conclusion, and they have become friends on parallel lines forever. At the end of the film, Tom meets another woman in an interview, and he takes the initiative to strike up a conversation, understanding that everything is not destiny and needs to be fought for by himself. Because as long as you act, there is a half chance. The narration at the end is very meaningful: most days of the year are unremarkable, and the day begins and ends without lasting memories. If Tom has learned one thing, it's that you can't attribute great cosmic significance to mere Earth events. Coincidence, everything is like that. Just a coincidence, nothing else. Tom finally discovered that miracles do not exist, that there is no such thing as fate, that things are not destined. He knew, he was sure now. In love, no one is right or wrong, and there is no rule about how to pay or whether to get something in return. We should not simply define whether the love of others is real or not, but in love, we must know how to cherish it and learn to take the initiative. Whenever we hesitate, the sweetness will slip away from us. Remember: Love is a willingness to improve oneself and others in order to develop the mental maturity of oneself and others.
