The director warned the audience that this is not a love story, just like he borrowed the actor to say to everyone at the company meeting before his resignation: "It's all music/movies/cards that hurt the public, love, you know what love is?" The director is not trying to make a love movie, he is trying to interpret love and marriage from another angle.
The most mysterious line in the whole article is that after summer got married, he ran into Tom on a park chair. Tom said that you didn't want to be someone else's girlfriend, but now you are someone else's wife. Summer said that he couldn't believe it either, saying that fate is such an impossibility. Predict that at a certain time, instead of going anywhere, you go to a bookstore and stand in front of a painting you like when the man who becomes your husband walks in, impartially. And then summer said, "I was not sure when I was with you before..." That was the crux of the whole story, and apparently, when she met her husband, she was sure. And soon entered the palace of marriage.
The childhood part was laid foreshadowing. Tom was deeply influenced by "The Graduate" and believed that his destined girl would appear. Until the card company held a regular meeting, the boss introduced the new assistant summer, the charming summer. He was convinced, and the two who got his wish became good friends, eating, visiting art galleries, watching movies, and even having sex in the shower room. Little Tom was happy and happy every day, although summer said that he did not want to establish a relationship for the time being, It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy, I am happy too. Until one day, summer told him that we should still be friends. From the cloud suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. He feels deceived, the world is gray, and lovers are going to open a room, and he has become a lonely little pitiful. He was so happy that he didn't see Summer's hesitation and uncertainty. He looks more like a boy in summer's eyes. but not her husband.
When summer was a child, she liked to grow her beautiful hair, and then cut it off with a click of scissors, without any attachment, just like she decisively cut the relationship with Tom, she is very beautiful, even with a lucky symbol, she can be in the park Shouting out male genitalia with Tom... Ignoring passers-by's glances, she is a girl who pursues happiness and does her own way. She stubbornly said that she doesn't need a boyfriend, but she will be in the photocopying room, and her red eyes will kiss Tom actively, and she will take the initiative to kiss Tom in IKEA. Holding Tom's hand, she waited silently in her heart until he appeared. Then she made a clear distinction. She made no promises at the beginning, and gave the other party incomparable happiness, but in the end, she also hurt people deeply, but can people grow up only after being hurt? Without a summer, how can you give up your job at a card company to apply for an architectural firm, and how can you find an autumn?
PS: In my eyes, this is a love sketch, but it took a lot of thought from the screenwriter and director. It is definitely a fine and delicate work. Those who say that this film is pretending to be forceful should carefully consider whether they are pretending to be forceful? In my eyes, it is still a fashion film, I like the style of summer 80s, and the cute male protagonist's small suit.

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.
