Not So Happy Ending

July 25, 2011 by bb-pawprint

“500 Days of Summer” is honestly the best movie in the world. The story starts off with a narration that says, “Let me tell you up front this isn’t a love story.” The plot is about two people that begin with a semi-platonic friendship that turns into a one-sided relationship. The sad part is that the girl Summer was never in love with her friend Tom. They went through many ups and downs, and gradually their confused relationship disintegrated. The character Summer always preached that having a boyfriend and girlfriend is unrealistic and how she doesn’t believe in love. But a few months after her and Tom ended their friendship, she got married. The thing I love most about this movie is that it’s realistic. Love does not always prevail; everyone does not always have a happy ending. Romance movies usually have tragic events throughout the film, but ultimately the couple ends up together and of course blissful. This movie shows the other side, the real side. this movie shows that you do not always end up with who you love most, or the person you love may not love you. Romance movies are my favorite so it’s kind of weird that I would like the one with the least happy ending. One can say Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story without a happy ending, but I disagree. Yes it was tragic, but Romeo and Juliet died with the thought of knowing that they were being unconditionally loved by another being. What more can someone ask for? In “500 Days of Summer” Tom has to live with the fact that the perfect girl for him was off making someone else happy.
