(500) days of summer




It's all about singles.

During my young age I had realized that it's not all about what kind of language you use during the conversation, it's about the special sign that the other one is sending. It's behind the scene, behind the pretty words, behind the tongue, behind her eyelids, behind her stiff shoulders to get the way to her world.

Not about "I'm fine!", not about "Nothing's bothering me, no.", not about "It's ok!", she's hiding behind her armors, her "being fine" shield and "I will take care of myself" sword or her fake smile helmets.

I've read many review from different guys and girls, basically their argument regarding "Summer"'s behavior is the spirit of this movie.
Men, don't understand women.
Women, hardly know what's in Men's mind.

She felt that a fake stiff smile is clear enough for him to understand that "I am not in a mood to have dinner with 'YOU'".
Tom thought if he presented a delicious, great option on the table, (of course he'd search in him mind through their dining history, what's her favorite restaurant or food) she'd happily join his dinner and finish the night together with alter ending.

He wants to prove he's qualified to be her boyfriend (according to the text book, if you kissed a girl held her hand hung out in IKEA that makes you her BF not BFF), she just wants to hang out and she can ignore the a-hole who trying to judge her friend (TOM), because she can easily take a comment from A-hole for granted.
He in the other hand not so there is a scene she definitely doesn't want to be included.

2 men fight for her? NOT COOL AT ALL!

-

They started alright, they hit on each other hard, they had disagreements, she got tired of his old joke, he lost track on her, they drifted apart.

What's the mistake Summer or Tom made?
No, nothing.
They are just too good to be themselves. She starts to get bored, he stops listening to her... one thing led to another, you know the ending.
That's what about this love. It's not a love story, it's a bloody real cruel food chain (from the outlook) or you can say, life of men and women.

If you had found her, listen to her for real.
If you had found him, tell him the truth even it could be ugly.
(Ha, it's so easy to say!)

Movies always try to tell us things, sadly... movie is just movie.

就像萬芳的那隻MV一樣
又有幾個人真能聲嘶力竭的喊出自己軟弱呢
