"(500) Times of Summertime (2009) is an innovative method of the romantic funny genre. An unidentified male narrator warns us early on that "This is a story of boy matches girl. This isn't a love story. " The film is a story about love although it may or might not end the way we expect, it's a more real, complicated, and a believable love story then a variety of romantic comedies that people been exposed to. Most movies usually tell us that true love can be done with whomever we choose if only we want it enough. "Hollywood" likes to distort fact and put most intimate entanglements into a happy ending with a cute bow on it, this movie brings us back again to the reality. The film deceives the visitors to assume that the narrative will be from both protagonists' perspectives: Tom and Summer time. Actually, it is told through its main protagonist Tom's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) point of view. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, NJ grew up thinking that he'd never truly be happy before day he satisfied "the main one. " His belief originated from early exposure to unhappy British pop music and a total misinterpretation of the movie The Graduate. The girl, Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel) of Shinnecock, Michigan didn't share this perception because the collapse of her parents' matrimony. In discussing the main subject the 500 days is about how long Tom's life is put in with a woman named Summer time. This movie doesn't play out chronologically, but instead jumps back and forth through time using adobe flash again (Giannetti & Leach 2008, p. 48). In depicting the connections struggles confronted by Tom, (500) Days of Summer months addresses the key theme dealing with those small but significant moments between two different people and going for a risk at love when uncertainty remains. Moments that can make someone question if your partner was feeling the same thing or if it was only an illusion. This is a different kind of love storyline but, not told in a typical way about how precisely our affectionate preconceptions can cloud connections and trying to comprehend the truth and character of love.
This film is a work of fiction. It has a formalist narrative structure advised out of chronological order and depends on display backs plus flash forwards with creativeness in nearly every arena. The Director frequently takes on around with ideas from the aesthetic to the aural. The movie at beginning uses a divide screen check out the main heroes childhood development before they cross paths somewhere with time in the foreseeable future at a greeting card issuer. The use of narration made you want to see the two main heroes live happily ever before after. The film begins on day (290) with urgency using non-diegetic (Giannetti & Leach 2008, p. 212) music through cinematic images and sequences of a girl riding on the bike through the dark roadways of LA arriving at a gated apartment to a visually heartbroken, dish smashing Tom. Tom retells his sister (Rachel) and friends in what has gone awry along with his relationship with Summer months. The cliches of the younger know it all smart sister, offering him vodka to loosen up in order to open up and retell his story about Summer time works. He starts off from his recollection of the beginning and what occurred. A montage of happy moments between Summer season and Tom laughing, kissing, retaining hands, hugging and purchasing music together. Summer season suggests they have to stop seeing each other in a diner setting up which really is a cliche moment and this scene visually reminded me of when "Harry met Sally. " The mise en scene of his apartment reflects an educated, middle income, cultured one who likes reading and music. Another cliche second is reference to "Sid and Nancy" Sid Vicious stabbed Nancy seven times with a kitchen knife. They involve some disagreements but he hardly think's he is Sid Vicious. She replies "No. I'm Sid. " Summer season says the words that is loss of life to all guys "You're still my best good friend!" We visually see Tom moving in slow motion after Summer says the term "friend" It really is like the bottom drops out psychologically for Tom. This movie is filled up with more cliches like "there's a lot of other seafood in the ocean" or a recurring theme in many romances "I don't want to get over her. I wish to get her back. " The unseen narrator state governments "There are just two kinds of individuals on earth. You will find women and there are men. He is reminding us of the dissimilarities between your genders. There are black and white images of a scene of photographs or descriptive play by play on Warmer summer months Finn.
The director instructs the storyline using his stylistic alternatives and including gimmicks from sketchbook-like transitions for an impromptu dance quantity and the Bergman influenced black and white film montage. A significant visual landscape is shown, after Tom has love-making for the first time with Summer season. This scene symbolizes his feelings to be in love, people smiling, life is wonderful, Tom assessments out his reflection in an automobile home window at the peak of his happiness and considers Hans Solo wink at him. The landscape goes on with the fountain exploding as the music is diegetic, the song by Hall & Oates' ballad "You Make My Dreams Come True" is read and closing with a boogie number similar to "Ferris Bueller's day off. " The music options are uplifting, reflective and the slow motion bits add to the nostalgic mood. The pure range of ideas keeps people not only eagerly considering what is to come next but for the most part benefits the plotline. The creative vision gives the common history a life of its own with very real emotions. Many viewers, who have experienced an important marriage, will be astonished in at least one unique way the film tackles its themes. (500) Times of Summer left a uplifting message about putting yourself out there and taking the dangers and the hardships that go with them is the only path to find happiness.
A defining minute arena in (500) Days and nights of Summer season occurs day (259) when Tom defends his romance with Summer time at a pub and visits the stranger. Tom and Summer season (alternating close-up photographs between two individuals) get back to her apartment where they break-up, the landscape ends with a high perspective shot of Tom working down a spiraling staircase. His life seems to be spiraling uncontrollable. Summer eventually comes home to him. We see homage to Annie Hall within an art gallery. There's a dark-colored and white neo-realist or film noir of battling in the shot of Tom consoling himself at a movie theatre. Day (154) The officially in love with Summer scene in extreme close-ups of Summer's areas of the body experiencing "she's like the wind" by Patrick Swayze and the contrary arena I hate Summer months, same images as the love ones but dialogue is expresses the distaste for everything he liked about her tooth, smile, hairstyle, legs and her delivery mark, not forgetting he now hates the song "she's like the wind flow" by Patrick Swayze.
The ideal use of imagery or editing and enhancing is the divide screen shot of objectives and reality a fantastic use of parallel editing (Giannetti & Leach 2008, p. 186) in addition to the non-diegetic audio he works down the spiraling staircase from high position to low angle shot in to the avenues with a sketch drawing of his world fading away and he's standing exclusively. Day (450) Tom's sister says "she is not the main one, your just keeping in mind the good stuff the next time you look back again at the relationship you should give it a much better look. " Tom is motivated to move forward after the end of his relationship with Summer and starts drawing again. We see close-up sketching of linear buildings drawn over a blackboard in his apartment, next a sketch pad and jarring activities in fast motion. There are a great number of fast pace, activity scenes of the world around him. Next, we turn to a parallel/break up screen arena with Tom on a bus expressionless and the other parallel display screen of Summertime smiling along the way of getting wedded. Another important picture is where Tom has closure with Summer season at his favourite park bench picture, this is a medium two shot. Summer shows she was never certain of love with Tom. Tom realizes love will not ever make sense.
The final field in (500) Times of Warmer summer months is completed by responding to the question fate does can be found and there is "the one" or soul mates out there and you will never know when it happens. The final landscape first shows a shot from a bird's eyes view (Giannetti & Leach 2008, p. 72) in the building with the narrator remarking "most days and nights of the year are unremarkable they get started and they end. " Tom sits on a couch in personal proxemic structure (Giannetti & Leach 2008, p. 126) from a lady interviewing for the same job. They both answer each other "I hope you do not get the work" in a medium shot. They then share a laugh. Tom seems to have a revelation coincidence or fate his pessimistic view is transformed upon meeting Fall months. Tom looks into the camera in ways to acknowledging us as an audience that he might be wrong but still believe in destiny or "the one. "
In realization, the energetic artwork style and architectural go through the scenery of Los Angeles increases overall ambience of the conditions and personas in each field. The story revealing to is in a single way conventional, in regards to a boy meets girl love account. Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) fits Summer season (Zooey Deschanel), they fall season in love, split up, maybe get back together, and then ends abruptly. The film is also unconventional in an indie sort of way. The storytelling is not chronological; there are surprising camera angles, clever editing, split screens, variety of eclectic tunes and combination of recommendations throughout the film like The Graduate. It's a film that embraces love among the list of ruins of today's society. (500) Days and nights of Summer season is about how exactly our intimate preconceptions can transform our knowledge of relationships and trying to understand the true nature of love is not something we can truly establish. "This isn't a love report. This is a story about love. "
