*500 Days of Summer*

This is not a love story. It is a story about love.


It isn't some witty metaphor about sunshine and happiness. It's a story of counts of days in the relationship of a boy and a girl. Boy meets girl. Boy fell in love. Girl doesn't.

Boy believe in love, convince that this girl is his soulmate, the true love that has been destined to spend his life with.
Girl believe true love is just fantasy, doesn't want to deal with relationship or labels.

Nevertheless they got together. Doing all the things couples do, except the fact that they were unofficial couple, couldn't be label as one as the girl doesn't want to.

Girl's a bitch. At first glance, she sure seems like one. Boy has to be with the mean pretty girl so he'll recognize his true love waiting in the wings. Girl is not particularly cruel or cold. If anything, she's completely honest with him about what she wants out of their relationship. But, love may have blinded him to some things which should’ve been apparent from the start.

Still, in the end, boy wants to make things clear. Relationship change into rocking boat. Break up.
Girl found someone else, finally believe in this thing called love.
Boy move on, doesn't want to believe in love anymore.


p/s: Yep. This movie make my tears drop. A fiction story that somehow isn't fiction at all in my life. How similar is the similarity. Very very very the similar. Very. Much. Except the role play has been of the opposite way.
