It’s not a love story, it’s a story of a boy meets a girl. The warning is clear enough.

500 Days of Summer

The intro was pretty boring and slow, not the type of movie I’ll continue to watch after knowing that. Normally I would ‘shift+del’ them, yeah no mercy. Plus the 500 “days” thingy got me confused dammit. I wasn’t able to grasp what does that mean until the story came to an end. “Oooooh” was all I can say.

But I still insisted on watching, yeah because I already downloaded the movie which is over 1gb, no way I want to throw it away just like that. I told myself to give the movie a chance, plus I don’t have anything to do anyway, so why not..?

Err.. maybe I’ll spoil some here, so don’t read further if you’re interested to watch.

The boy and the girl.

Lots of flashbacks as the movie is progressing (huh it’s the days thingy I mentioned earlier) and being a slow learner I am, it took me awhile to get the idea. I have to say this is actually a love story, despite the warning says otherwise, only they should add the word ‘fail’ to make it failed-love-story. Yaps. Oh about the plot, you might think that in the end, the girl will accept the boy’s hard work to steal her heart, but no! Dah cakap dah kan. Failed romance.

My take: 8/10

Things will not always go our way, there are so many little hurdles we have to face. Fate is one and coincidence is another. You maybe be lucky if you’re not stuck with problems but surely, surely they will come to bother you, even if it’s not a head on, they may linger with people around us. Family. Friends. Right? Well, just my life experience after 23 years. I may be wrong.

The ending song by Mumm-Ra. Love it.
