(500) Days of Summer

Boy believes in love. Girl doesn't.
Boy meets girl.
Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.


This is (500) Days of Summer.

Tom: There's no destiny. No fate. Just coincidence.

i can't understand the so-called "modern love",
or to be more accurate, "modern relationship".
dump or being dumped are usual, and casual.
start a relationship by stating the point "i'm not serious".
end a relationship by saying "it's not your fault, it's just me",
or "you're not bad, it's just me doesn't suit you".

what's the point of these? i don't get it.
but i can't deny, there are plenty of these out there, right next to us.


ok, stop blaming.


Reality always doesn't work out like our expectation.
Boy believes that if he makes it slow, everything will be fine.
But he forgets one thing..
Start from the beginning, boy and girl are with different destinations.
Things will never be fine even he makes it slow.
And that's why the reality always doesn't like his expectation.

This story tells a lot about "relationship" nowadays.
Boys and girls seach for something "not serious".
We want to make fun, more than true intimacy.
Making fun is easy. But what's after that?
Maybe there's just loneliness left. And it's what we said "reality".

Think clearly what exactly "THAT reality" is.
It comes with "OUR expectation".
And "THAT reality" is not the only truth.

好玄...
好loop...

簡單D講...
世界上太多人不相信真愛
也不知道自己其實需要真愛
反而去追求一剎那的FUN來填補空虛
但FUN總會有悶的一天
到時候帶來的LONELINESS, 卻被貼上REALITY的LABEL
其實真實的REALITY包括真愛
只是大家不去尋找
甚至那些本來相信的人, 也因為失敗, 而被LONELINESS侵蝕了

其實咁樣講
都唔簡單 :P


ok, stop blaming x2


Marc Webb, a familiar name.
I can't remember where did i encounter his name.
I just know he's a MV director.
He managed well in directing his first feature film.
See those hand-drawing portraits, the disney-style scene, the view from the park..
they're so "music video".. :)

the two leading actor/actress are good..
also the supporting actor as McKenzie..

music is great, too.. (ok, for me, this adds a lot of marks)
