(500) Days Of Summer

Wow ! I saw this film the other night right, completely and utterly brillaint ! Seriously, almost faultless. The best film i've seen in the cinema since the Dark Knight last July. That good, honestly, i love it !

It's sorta been advertised as a rom-com type film, but it's most certaintly not that. Think of it more as the anti rom-com. It doesn't follow any of the conventional narrative structures of those films, going with a non linear structure instead. This can be tricky to pull of, but it works well ! Especially in the context of the movie. It doesn't have the typical happy ending, or predictable path from begining to end, it really just does it's own thing to be honest and works well. It even smartly references Fench new wave cinema ! Quite a unusual thing for a so called 'rom-com' haha.

The movie tells it like it is, non of this hollywood fairytale bullshit. It understands that love fucking hurts and sucks at times, but also that it is the best feeling in the whole world. The audince really feels the emotional arks of all the characters as the so called (500) days progress. It actaully has one of the most heart wrenchin difficult to watch scenes in a movie, ever. The line 'i'm sure... What i wasn't sure of with you' Is soo powerfully delivered it pretty much jumps off screen and punches you right in the gut !

Okay, sooo i could talk about this film all day, but i'll not, i'll just leave it to ya'll to go see, please do it deserves a wide audience !

I'll Be Talkin To Ya xxx
