Review: "(500) Days of Summer"

"(500) Days of Summer" The genre of this film is a comedy drama, it was written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. The stars are Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tom Hansen) and Zoey Deschanel (Summer Finn). The film uses a nonlinear narrative structure with the story based upon its male protagonist and his memory-driven look at a failed relationship.The premiere of this amazing film was on October 26, 2009 in Mexico.

There was some things that I really liked about the film. First, in the poster says: " This is not a love story. This is a story about love. " , this saying symbolizes perfectly the movie. I like the role of "Summer" I feel a little identified with her because she guided herself by her beliefs and not by what people say. The story has been controversial, because Summer doesn't believe in love, neither in the relationships. Tom begins to narrate how he met Summer, how they started to go out but without commitment, how he fell in love with her and how all the good things started to change to bad.

The only thing I didn't like about the story was that I would have liked to know how it would have been if she had stayed with Tom.

This film give us another perspective about love and why things happen for a reason. I am unwilling to recommend to very sentimental people but I recommend it to people with an open mind who want to see a good movie.
