(500) Days of Summer	comment	(500) Days of Summer is a 2009 independent romantic comedy film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, directed by Marc Webb from a script by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber.Tom Hansen (Levitt) works as a writer for a greeting-card company; Summer Finn (Deschanel) is a quirky young woman hired as his boss's assistant. Tom, a hopeless romantic, immediately falls for her; Summer doesn't believe in true love, and isn't looking for a relationship. They quickly become more than just friends, but while Summer doesn't consider their affair to be serious, Tom believes she's "the one", and wants something more. The film takes a look at their quasi-relationship from Tom's perspective, numbering the days and events that lead to its buildup and eventual downfall.The film is now looked back on as a standout romance film of its time primarily through being an outright Genre Deconstruction, taking the genre's conventions and juxtaposing them with the realistic highs and lows (mostly lows) of a modern relationship, as well as the fractured way in which we remember them.

(500) Days of Summer / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The title and trailer imply that the movie is about the 500 days in the relationship between Summer and Tom. In fact, Summer breaks up with Tom on Day 288, and the remaining days document his attempts to get over her. Furthermore, most viewers of the trailer expected Summer to be a straight portrayal of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl instead of a Deconstruction of the trope.

(500) Days of Summer / int_237404cc	comment	Ironic Echo: Because of the film's Anachronic Order, we often hear the echoed version first. One of the reasons the movie is in some ways Better on DVD. One in particular has them at a hardware store and Tom makes a joke about the uselessness of showfloor appliances, which Summer is apathetic over. It then jumps to earlier in their relationship when they sort of became a couple after an afternoon of goofing around in the same place making the exact same kind of jokes. One was cute and charming, the other incessant.

(500) Days of Summer / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: When Tom and Summer are riding in a car and Tom asks Summer what they are doing there is a song in French playing on the radio. It is "Quelqu'un m'a dit" by Carla Bruni. The chorus of this song is "Quelqu'un m'a dit que tu m'aimait encore, somebody told me that you still loved me." During a lull in the conversation what is heard of the song translates to "somebody told me that destiny doesn't care about us. That it gives nothing and promises everything. It's said that happiness is within reach so we reach out our hand and found ourselves crazy."

(500) Days of Summer / int_35e077	comment	Fourth-Date Marriage: The entire story, including Tom's post-break-up depression, takes place over a little less than a year and a half. Consider how Summer spends less than half that time (Days 288-500). Most couples spend more time between the engagement and the wedding than Summer took meeting a total stranger and getting married to him... which suggests that her big Love Epiphany might be just another whim.

(500) Days of Summer / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: As the film progresses, Tom matures greatly. He stops seeing women as objects that he can project his ideals onto, and drops his It's All About Me attitude towards his relationship with Summer. He also is able to turn his life around, quitting his job in the greeting card company and pursuing a job as an architect, which is what he wants to do. His growth in the film is best illustrated in his final conversation with Summer, where he genuinely wishes her to be happy, and when he asks out Autumn without hesitation and doesn't get angry when she initially rejects him.

We know Tom's career aspirations and meet his family members and close friends, but Summer doesn't get any of these. Even in her professional life, Summer is defined by her proximity to another man, being Vance's assistant.

(500) Days of Summer / int_46290b93	comment	Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Subverted/deconstructed; Tom initially thinks of Summer as one, and pursues a relationship with her even though she flip-flops between being clear that she's not interested in anything serious and leading him on, which leads to getting his heart broken when she dumps him and marries someone else. Thus are explored the very true-to-life hazards of treating a woman as a romantic ideal rather than a human being. Arguably, Tom may have been a Manic Pixie Dream Guy to Summer, who tells him at the end that he taught her that love is real. Word of God on the subject:

Although there is no hostility in the office, Tom feels that his job is monotonous and boring. Moreover, he has no passion for it. The upside is meeting Summer. By the time Tom and Summer break up, Tom undergoes a downward spiral, and the final straw for him that drives him to quit this job is a boardroom meeting with ranting about inspirational quotes on love.

(500) Days of Summer / int_fb7cc1ff	comment	Master of the Mixed Message: From Tom's point of view, Summer. It seems like every time she tells Tom she's not interested in something serious (and despite it being obvious that he is), she immediately throws a curve ball in the form of hand-holding, kisses or sex. Just before she breaks up with him, she impulsively kisses Tom in the street. The worst example is when they have a huge fight, Summer tries to tell him they are Just Friends, he storms out, and Summer goes over to his place in the morning, in the rain, and has sex with him, which he interprets to mean she wants to stay in the relationship. However, from her perspective she is very clear with what she wants, not putting labels on their relationship and holding the understanding that things might change overnight.

(500) Days of Summer / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: Tom completely misinterpreted the ending of The Graduate as a child, contributing to his tendency to romanticize relationships as an adult. Summer, however, seems to get it, as she leaves the cinema crying and Tom just can't understand why. It's shown fairly evidently in the script, where it is shown that after his college girlfriend (briefly mentioned in the film) broke up with him in a flashback by using a song he showed her as a metaphor (skipping the song that she used to like), Tom misinterprets it and tells her it's a "great fucking song."
