Defining "love" requires an understanding of the word, yet comprehending the feelings it evokes in each person on earth demands considerable insight and intelligence. If you view it at just the surface level, "(500) Days of Summer" is a film with a familiar story: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy tries to get the girl back. If you view it through that lens, it stands on its own as a movie that most of the audience can relate to and walk away entertained. However, if you really examine the characters and take time to acknowledge how they each define "love", you might acquire a deeper awareness of the complexities of romantic love. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, "Tom Hansen", begins the film firmly believing he'll know what love is the instant his definition of the word enters his life. However, we walk alongside "Tom" and watch as his most closely held belief is challenged and, ultimately, changed. Depending on where you are in your life, this movie can be difficult to watch, or it can serve as a catalyst that challenges you to reevaluate your understanding of what love truly means to you. Zooey Deschanel plays the part of Gordon-Levitt's muse so well. Despite the results of their relationship, "Summer Finn" is the person "Tom" needed to come into his life to make him confront his long-held interpretation of what love really means to him. The non-linear approach of showing Tom and Summer's relationship is an effective choice because it allows the audience to see the cracks long before Tom acknowledges them. It also prompts the audience to confront their own understanding of what romantic love means in their lives. I watched this movie not long after it was released in 2009, but I recently went back and watched it with my son. It's a movie that should be required viewing for anyone who isn't sure if they've encountered true love or is trying to navigate their way through their own beliefs on how they define the word. A wonderful film with a soundtrack that is equally brilliant. When more than one song from The Smiths is included on a movie soundtrack, that should tip you off that you're in for a rollercoaster of emotions.
