This is not a love story, it is a story about love.
Someone told me to watch 500 Days of Summer because she’s called Summer. I really like Summer, Tom is sad to watch, but somehow in Summer, she knows that he isn’t the One and you really can’t blame her. The thing is, Summer states from the very beginning that they are just friends, and she repeats it many times over the course of everything. Tom, on the other hand, goes along with hope between expectations and reality, which result in him being totally in love with Summer. The relationship is doomed from the start with Summer counting down the 500 days where it started and ended.
There’s a couple of gems in there which if you can figure it out in a very cryptic sense:
You’ve always done what you wanted, don’t you? You never wanted to be anybody’s girlfriend, but now you are somebody’s wife.
Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.
