500 Days of Summer is one of my favorite films and one of the main reasons is that I related to how Tom acts during the film. Today I am looking at five things that happen in this feel that also end up happening in my own life.
5. Dead End Job
Like Tom working as a card writer I find myself in a dead end job where Tom wants to be an architect I have my own dreams of being a film critic. We both find ourselves in a job we don’t like but feel safe in when we know we are better at something else.
4. Expectation versus Reality
This has become the most iconic scene from this movie and is something I think everyone goes through, when you go somewhere expecting something only for the reality to feel so harsh.
3. Friend Tell of Interest
One of the first moments in this film is when Tom’s drunk friend tells Summer he likes her, which similar thing happened to me once with great embarrassment.
2. Over Analysis Friendship
When things go wrong in the relationship it is the wise before her year’s sister of Tom that puts it in the simplest term ‘Just because she likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn’t mean she’s your soul mate’ and I have found myself in this situation too.
1. Music Mood
This is the one I think most people can relate to and that is when things are going well all the songs seem happy but when things are going bad every song feels sad.
