Review of (500) Days of Summer (2009) by Dany L — 27 Dec 2012

Great soundtrack, I loved every single tiny piece of music included in the movie. "Days of Summer" is kind of a slow movie that won't leave you far away from where it picked you up, still -- it's interesting to watch because it makes you think about life, love and other little things. The most intriguing thing about the movie was probably that 'diary page' showing which day were we in, and the jumping backwards and forwards throughout their relationship.

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the movie, just toward the ending I got lost and asked myself 'why did she do that'. Then, after lots of thinking I got it (I think) --- The metaphor through which the movie is told is simply beautiful: Summer turns into Autumn and then into Winter and then into Spring, and that's also like love and most relationship go. I had so much thinking about this after having seen this movie.

Acting was pretty good, the script was fun, and images were original and colourful. "500 Days of Summer" is a really up-to-date movie that might be interesting to watch once or twice or maybe more. Recommended.
