From the moment I saw this "500 Days of Summer" became my new favorite movie.

sounds like an application of the small penis rule could be useful here.

I'm almost certain that that line was just filler. Because Tom was a bit of asshole in the film, and was in like, Neville chamberlain levels of denial. Summer, while not exactly warm, was not a bitch in any sense.

Begins seeing another man while in a relationship with Tom, gets engaged to other man. That's cold.

I thought the same thing, but re watch the movie a few times... You'll see how much of a bitch Summer was. She was emotional, flighty, and would play with Tom's emotions like a damn puppet master.

How so? She told him from the beginning that she wasn't good at relationships. He was jealous and possessive and obsessed with her, to an unhealthy extent. He thought The Graduate was a good depiction of love, which it really, really isn't. He was a dick, and not for her. She even says at the end that she didn't love him, and she was good enough to end it when she realised he was far too in love with her.

He was an emotionally crippled man-baby the whole movie.

the whole point is that it was a bad relationship by both parties.

[–]rampantdissonance 29 points30 points ago

First, I think it's really impressive what he filmmaker accomplished. The movie was about him looking over the failed relationship, and the fact that we're discussing it right now says a lot of good things about it.

Both had their problems. But she dealt with hers and was honest about her intentions. He was needy and irrational and rejected reality to insert his own.

[–]CalBerks 36 points37 points ago

Jealous and possessive? How? She kissed him in the copy room, shared her dreams and history with him, ran back to him after a fight (that he was basically shafted in to, the guy at the bar was basically calling him out and treating both JGL and Summer like crap), then the kicker... this is the one that fucking pissed me off more than anything:

Summer sees him on the train, goes UP to him, starts conversation, etc. etc. The wedding scenes, the dancing, the semi-flirting, the whole things just reeks of her having feelings for him again. The train ride even shows her letting go again and getting comfortable with him.

Then... This is where she turns in to ultra bitch. SHE INVITES HIM TO HER OWN ENGAGEMENT PARTY! She even lies about it at the end of the movie! JGL was around her the entire time during her party, and there was no scene of her getting proposed to. She basically lied about the whole thing!

[–]daffodilhill 10 points11 points ago

Was it really her engagement party? I thought it was just a party she was having at her apartment. I mean, she shows someone her ring at it, but I didn't think that was the point of the whole party.

      Upvote for "manbaby". That's precisely what I thought of his character throughout the movie. I still thought Summer was a bitch, though, for reasons stated above.

      I found that instead of being an emotionally crippled man-baby he simply suffered from the Disney Effect. He was too much of a hopeless romantic.

                  I went to the high school they filmed it at (San Clemente High School). A few friends of mine received cameo roles, but sadly I did not. BUT I did get to go to the premiere so that was fun.

                  The first time I tried to watch it, I felt that way (couldn't get past the party scene.) I watched it again in a Film Study class about a year later and ended up really liking it. It's got a lot to offer, if you can make the jump and get invested in it. At the very least, it's well crafted.

                  I agree. You just have to try not to take it too seriously. If you go into it imagining that these are real high school kids you'll have a hard time getting past how cheesy it is. It's really just like any classic Noir film, just in a strange setting.

                            I have him tagged as "be interested in midget pornography"! I have no idea why and there's no way I'm going to browse his comment history to find out why.

                            I was bored and interested and his account was only 2 months old so I looked through the comments. This is why.

                            I have him as "likes midget porn". I feel like it's something he won't soon live down.

                                        This is by far one of my favorite movie scenes off all time. The home-run metaphor cements it for me.

                                        I finally hooked up with a girl I'd been chasing for 6 months about two weeks ago. Got home and played that song.

                                        Now I'm doing this routine:

                                        No. Don’t pull that with me. Don’t even try. This is not how you treat your friend. Kissing in the copy room, holding hands in IKEA, shower sex- come on, friends my balls.

                                        Sorry, guys. Just had to get that out there.

                                        I have you tagged as "upvote always." Sadly, this is only the second time I've had a chance to do so. Not only do I wish I remembered what prompted me to tag you as such, but I also wish you would comment more so I could do past-me's bidding.

                                            There's also a post-breakup Hall & Oates version, which wasn't included in the film.

                                              It's from 500 Days of Summer. Great movie. Sort of a romance, but not the typical one.

                                              No it isn't, it's a story about love. It resembles but is legally distinct from a love story.

                                                That's a good way to put it. I will say though, it's really fun to tell people it's a wonderful rom-com then see their horrified faces when it's done.

                                                      you're joking, right?

                                                      It's possibly real from a guy's point of view, but if you look at it objectively, it's not that much more real. We never learn ANYTHING about Zooey's character as far as motivations, thoughts, or emotions. She is presented as an inscrutable mystery.

                                                      That's not to say I don't love the movie (and the soundtrack) but let's be real about what it is.

                                                      I thought that was kind of the point. The guy wasn't in love with the girl but with an idea of her. He projected so heavily he had little chance to reach through and actually know her.

                                                              Right? I hate romcoms and such (being a cynical asshole 101) but it turns the manic pixie dream girl love story on its head.

                                                                        I liked this film but wanted to like it a little more. It ultimately fell just a little flat, I think good movies about love incite retrospection into your own personal relationships but here it was a little too contrived and artificial. On subsequent viewings rather than relating with the movie more I found the story either deteriorated or stayed the same. I think it was the ending that I disliked, a little too cliche.

                                                                        "Literally" is the opposite of "figuratively", so many authorities object to the use of literally as an intensifier for figurative statements. For example "you literally become the ball", by the primary sense, would mean actually transforming into a spherical object, while it is likely that the speaker means "figuratively" and is using literally as an intensifier. However, it is now common in colloquial speech for this mistake to be made, as in, "she was literally in floods of tears".

When it came out on DVD she rented it and I watched it with her. Within moments I knew this was going to be different and it's now one of my favorite movies of all time.
