500 Days Of Summer Analysis

Improved Essays
Once upon a time in 2009 a movie came out called “500 Days of Summer” which turn out to be a realistic movie on love. The movie itself was practical and easy to follow, which made it a good movie. Tom and Summer were co workers at a greeting card company and eventually became something more. Tom and Summer than began to build a relationship more than a friendship. In the end Tom gets his heart broken and Summer end up married. Life is so funny. Overall it was a reasonable movie . What made this a great movie was the characters, the plot, and overall the look of the film.
Typically in movies the girl is the one who gets her heart broken not in this movie. Tom was the one who feelings were crushed. Rachel his little sister is the one giving him sound advice about how to deal with the relationship and moving one. The move starts off like in the present tense and rewind to the past to explain everything. Mckenzie and Paul his best friend tries their best to give advice about something they have never experienced. Mckenzie gives off this desperate feel and has never been in a serious relationship. Paul cannot relate to Tom problems because has been with the same girl since high school. While going through his ups and downs his boss does not make it any easier. Tom tries to let Summer led in what ever they supposed to be and in the end losing her.
In addition of the characters the plot was okay. In the beginning the movie show Tom breaking plates but they never tie that back into the movie at the end.

Another one was even though Tom did get to be in a relationship with Summer he gain courage to leave his job and become the person that makes him happy. Summer showed the audience that enough though you think you know yourself you could grow and become

    In “A Summer Life,” Gary Soto uses tones of guilt and fear to capture the memory of his six-year-old self stealing a pie from the local grocery store. Although young Soto is aware he is committing a sin, the savory senses of the pie persuade him to steal the pie.

    At the very start of the movie, the narrator introduces Tom as a person who grew up believing he will not be truly happy until he meets “the one” because of the way love was perceived in the media; Summer did not share the same belief because of the ending of her parents’ marriage as a child. Since Tom’s perception of love is completely different from Summers’, every moment pertaining their “relationship” will be almost bias to Knapp’s Stages of Romantic Relational Development leading towards commitment: initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, and bonding. There were many days of the initiating phase of their “relationship”. The initiating phase is when another person finds another person likeable because of their appearance and/or actions when they first encounter one another. This phase occurs before people disclose very personal things with one another.…

    Throughout Jean Rouch’s filmic career he experiments with cinema, pushing the boundaries of ethnographic film, showcasing a range of styles. Chronicle of a Summer embarks on the simple journey of asking strangers if they are happy in order to explore how camera’s change behavior. This film epitomizes Rouch’s exploration of cinematic truth, however, I am left questioning if it is the camera or Rouch who provokes his subjects into performance. Rouch’s exploratory career can be tracked through his two films, Les Maitres Fous and Moi, un Noir, released only 3 years apart but very different, displaying his adventurous, transformative filmic style. Compared to many other ethnographers, Rouch is not concerned with capturing the reality of the lives…
