(500) Days of Summer - You don't have to have seen the movie to answer. :)?

ALL relationships get messy sooner or later. Sometimes you can clean it up and sometimes its just as well to forgo the damage deposit and leave. Why would it be selfish to express your honest opinion? She warned him right up front and he didn't listen,

I liked the movie. It surely wasn't the best but it wasn't horrible either. I loved the music they had, it kind of gave the movie a whole indie vibe. The only thing that annoyed me was Autumn; I liked the idea that he met a new girl though. I guess I just didn't like the actress for some reason. What you have to remember is the narration in the beginning of the movie: This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story. It basically tells you that they're not going to end up together. It also gives clues to Summer's personality. "The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing." I'm not sure but maybe she was just emotionally detached..

I think she was being ignorant. She assumed love doesn't exist, just because it didn't exist in her life. She admitted at the end that Tom was right about true love and destiny and all that "meant to be" stuff, because she finally experienced it for herself. I think that's ignorant: to only believe in something after you experience it for yourself. That's like saying just because you've never been to Disney World, it's nothing but a figment of others' imaginations.

She was just stating her opinion, probably cos she hadn't found a relationship worth being in. I feel the same way too sometimes.

PENIS!

you can be happy all by yourself..
