500 Days of Summer

It was around past midnight, a couple of weeks ago, when I was conversing with one of my online acquaintances. He told me he watched it with his girlfriend, and it was really good.  That got me convinced to put the movie in my to-watch-list, but I wasn’t that eager to watch it yet. I was thinking that it must be good, but probably just another romance flick.

It wasn’t until it became the talk at school and among my friends that really got my curiousity piqued. So I started bugging my aunt to watch the movie with me. And then last night, she bought a DVD but I came home pretty late due to my theater rehearsals and so she watched it ahead of me.

It was only today that I got to watch it, I was alone but I didn’t care. haha, And so armed with a bag of chips, a tall glass of iced tea and a pillow to hug, I braced myself for the promised awesome movie.

The movie started out kind of confusing because of the constant flash backs and forwards, but I eventually got the hang of the story. And as I watched the film, I immediately saw myself in Tom’s shoes, especially since we experienced similar situations (although my relationship ended more quickly, without proper close and no friends thing after..lol)

Anyway, back to the story…I found it kind of amusing at first, it was sweet and touching. But the part where the “just friends” thing was flashed shocked me, but I still hoped that the two would get a happy ending. I yearned and watched, filled with anticipation with what will happen to Tom and Summer. But I was really astounded when I saw that Summer was getting married…to another guy. I totally did not see that coming O_O

But life is messed up, he and Summer were really not meant to be (just like me and that guy, lmao). It was so depressing, I could really empathize with Tom’s character, especially the parts where he was getting drunk and out of hand because of his misery.

Life and love, two things that just when I thought I was beginning to grasp and understand it, something will happen and I’ll end even more confused. lol

Anyway, regarding the movie again, I just thought that Mika’s song, Happy Ending, would be perfect for one of it’s tracks. Look it up and listen to it, it’s awesome.

“This is the way you left me,
I’m not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it’s forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.”

— Happy Ending, Mika
