500 Days of Summer

PLOT SUMMARY OF THIS PHENOMENAL MOVIE..
After it looks as if she's left his life for good this time, Tom Hansen reflects back on the just over one year that he knew Summer Finn. Despite being physically average in almost every respect, Summer had always attracted the attention of men, Tom included. For Tom, it was love at first sight when she walked into the greeting card company where he worked, she the new administrative assistant. Soon, Tom knew that Summer was the woman with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life. Although Summer did not believe in relationships or boyfriends - in her assertion, real life will always ultimately get in the way - Tom and Summer became more than just friends. Through the trials and tribulations of Tom and Summer's so-called relationship, Tom could always count on the advice of his two best friends, McKenzie and Paul. However, it is Tom's adolescent sister, Rachel, who is his voice of reason. After all is said and done, Tom is the one who ultimately has to make the choice to listen or not
MY REVIEW
Basically this is a story about a boy ( Tom ) and girl ( Summer ). He falls in love and he feels she is too in the beginning but she doesn't and from the start she told him she didn't want anything serious and he was okay with it but in the back of his mind you know he wasn't but he fell pretty hard for her and it became to much for her and she leaves him because she doesn't feel the same way he does, but what this movie is about is how Everything happens for a reason which is something I truly believe, I feel they met each other for a purpose to the next chapter of their lives, he was working in a greeting card company but in his heart he really wanted to be an architect but he wasn't going for it at all nor thinking of it until he met her and she believed in him and with her, she didn't believe in love. She felt as if that word had no meaning behind it and didn't know how to express herself when it came to that although she didn't get that feeling with him she learned there was such a thing of love and it was real you just had to feel it when you got it. So once they broke up the next chapter of their lives began. He went on to pursuing architecture including meeting someone special from it and she found love. So you see Everything we do, everyone we meet, its for a reason. There aren't always happy endings or what you expect to happen or want you get Reality and thats what life is. We hit to reality and move on with our lives on to the next chapter. So this is why I love this movie and Suggest you who ever you are reading this to watch this great movie. Not only is the story line great and real the actors in it were perfect for the roles they played and the directing and editing was  epic. 
Here is the trailer of the movie..................


Zooey Deschanel talking about her character Summer Finn

Here are some quotes from the movie that I loved:

Tom: What happens when you fall in love?

Summer: You believe in that?

Tom: It's love, it's not Santa Claus

                                                                     

Tom: It's official. I'm in love with Summer.
[while Montage of Summer plays]
Tom: I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. 

I love how she licks her lips before she talks. 

I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. 

I love it when she sleeps

                                                                     

Rachel Hansen: Just because she's likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate

                                                                     

Partygoer: So Tom, what is it that you do? 

Tom: I uh, I write greeting cards.
Summer: Tom could be a really great architect if he wanted to be.
Partygoer: That's unusual, I mean, what made you go from one to the other?
Tom: I guess I just figured, why make something disposable like a builing when you can make something that last forever, like a greeting card

                                                                       

Summer: We've been like Sid and Nancy for months now. 

Tom: Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy, seven times with a kitchen knife, I mean we have some disagreements but I hardly think I'm Sid Vicious.
Summer: No I'm Sid.
Tom: Oh, so I'm Nancy...
[Pancakes arrive]
Summer: Let's just eat and we'll talk about it later. Mmm, that is good, I'm really glad we did this. I love these pancakes... what?
[Tom gets up and walks away from the table]
Summer: Tom, don't go! You're still my best friend! 

                                                                         

Rachel Hansen: Tom, I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Next time you look back, I think you should look again
                                                                         
Summer: You weren't wrong, Tom. You were just wrong about me
                                                                         
Narrator: This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.
                                                                          
Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew. 
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.
                                                                          
Narrator: Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday

                                                                            

Tom: You don't want to be named as someone's boyfriend, and now your someone's wife?

                                                                           

Tom: Either she's an evil, emotionless, miserable human being, or... she's a robot.
