Movie Review: (500) Days of summer

“(500) Days of Summer” is a comedy romantic film. It was directed by Marc Webb and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. It stars by Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom Hansen and Zooey Deschanel as Summer Finn. This movie is an independent film, for that it was premiered in The Sundace Film Festival in 2009, the largest independent cinema festival in the United States, It was received very well by the critics. Also, it was nominated for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actor at the Golden Globes this year.

Tom is a young architect, who has a boring jobs in a greeting card company, he is always looking for his true love, suddenly he knows Summer, the new assistant of the company. He immediately falls in love with her at the first sight and thinks that she would be the one, but Summer doesn´t believe in relationships or boyfriends. They become in more than just friends, but Tom wants a relationship.

The film is presented in a nonlinear narrative, as it jumps from various days within the 500 days of Tom and Summer's relationship. It was set in Los Angeles, California, and in the movie the protagonist, who is an architect, describe the buildings of this city.

I recommend this movie because it isn’t a classic love story movie. The non linear narrative is very interesting. The soundtrack of this movie is amazing and are so important in the develop of the story.
