500 Days of Summer (2009) REVIEW

 



















500 Days of Summer (2009)

PG-13 | 1h 35min | ComedyDramaRomance

This film revolves around a twenty something relationship delving into the meaning of love and fate.  It gives you plenty of emotional ups and downs. The film is showed out of sync which is popular these days.  You’d think that would make it hard to follow, but I liked the way it was presented.  They even have a narrator here and there.  I’ve seen films in the past I couldn’t follow that would have benefitted greatly from a narrator. 

The female lead (Summer) is beautiful and the acting from everyone is top notch.  I like how they displayed heart ache and reality vs expectations.  Your details may be different, but the film does a great job of exploring love and fate and soul mates.  Ups and downs are part of everyone’s life and we just need to keep getting out there and doing stuff we enjoy.  Join a group, take walks, and remember you can learn to do almost anything in 5 years if you are dedicated to it.  My point being, change things if you are in a rut.  Even if that new thing doesn’t work out at least you tried.  Keep going. You have lots of time left.  Norman Lloyd is age 106 and still working in the film industry.    One life touches so many others – it would leave an awful hole if you weren’t there.  Trick is to never quit.  Your time is just around the corner and don’t forget many people out there need you.  Whether you realize it or not.  If you need a friend – be a friend.  And before you know it you’ll have one.
