End of Story

Is there the story ends? If an ordinary romantic comedy, it might be so. You know the formula of romantic comedy that is almost always used in every movie cliche? Guy meet girl, fighting for an ideology of inequality, but in the end they found that they complement each other and finally hook up again. Happy ending, the audience out with pleasure, and the next day to have forgotten ever watch such a movie (or confused with a myriad of other similar films many). Days of Summer are not.

At the beginning we have shown that in fact Tom had broken up with Summer. What the hell happened? Now, through this film we would be invited to see their relationship during the 500 day moving, where Tom was trying to find what is wrong with their relationship. How in the end? Will Tom be able to return to the Summer? Will he find new love? Please watch yourself and find the answers.

(500) Days of Summer so comfortable due to the story that followed was so down-to-earth. There is nothing exaggerated in this film. Dialogue between Tom and Summer is the dialogue that flows with the original without feels too artificial. Their problems I'm sure once you've experienced when going out. Although I myself was never going out, I've several times close to a girl and a conflict that (almost) the same as what Tom experienced. In fact probably the reason why I really liked this movie because he was somehow reflect my love and reminds me of the relationship itself.

The story in this film even more perfect because the alloy chemistry from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Both are perfect for the part of Tom and Summer. Joseph made him look like a nerd can be trusted as Tom is innocent (whether accidental or not, now most of my favorite actors are people nerd). On the other hand Zooey 29-year-old still looks young and sweet, yet behind that appearance of Zooey's acting make us believe that Summer is not just a pretty face - but also stubborn and independent.

Perhaps because of the background video director Marc Webb as a music clip (trust can not believe this movie is the directorial debut of wide-screen!) Then this movie is decorated with lots of memorable music and blends with the movie scene. One of my favorite scenes is when Tom and Summer was chatting and dating at IKEA. It is moments like this that makes me long for a companion live (ah, start deh lebay mellownya).

In summary, Days of Summer is one of the best films I have ever seen this year. If you have not watched it, what are you waiting? Do mentang-mentang because you fear this film festival to watch (because really this movie was 'mild'!). This is one of the few movies that will make you silent contemplation after watching it with a grin. Me? I stood up and clapped his hands (in front of my computer) so the screen scrolling credits. It's that good.
