500 Days of Summer

This is not your typical love story. It is never what I expected it to be. It is a boy meets girl, boy loses girl story that is disheartening yet at the same time exhilarating. The movie is both funny and sad. Scenes in the movie are portrayed out of chronological order which hightens the twists and turns of the story.

“Just because some cute girl likes the same bizarre crap you do, that doesn’t make her your soulmate”

I couldn’t agree more. Sometimes, couple’s differences add challenge and spice up a relationship.

“Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She’s real.”

I was struck by the above’s quote and it got me thinking. How often do we find ourselves dreaming for “The One”. We created a picture of this perfect person whom we wanted to be with. But I guess, it is better to fall and be with someone not perfect but real. ^_^ All in all, the movie was great. It has a surprising mixture of humor, sweetness and sadness. It’s not your ordinary love story, a must-see movie, and the best romantic comedy so far as of 2009.
