So, never before have I seen a love movie worth my time. A love movie that was real, that hit home, and that me, as a man, could say I really appreciated and learned from. This movie, (500) Days of Summer was a true jewel. I was a little skeptical when my female friend said that this movie was incredible and that we needed to go see it I was expecting an annoying and overrated chick flick delivering the standard message that love conquers all and that you will find the one you love no matter the circumstance. Well this movie blew me away. Using clever cinematography in tandem with a beautiful message that sometimes life throws unexpected turns at us, and that love isnt as predictable as we might think. It begins telling us that that the movie isn’t a love story, and through the progression of the 500 days we see that destiny might not work when we expect it to: summer breaks up with her boyfriend unexpectedly. However, during the 500th day, after summer has married someone else, he meets autumn, ironically. Love works in mysterious ways, as we learn in this witty, well planned, clever, and informative movie.
