"Que a una chica le gusten las mismas porquerias raras que a ti, no significa que sea tu alma gemela"
La forma de contar la historia en forma anacrónica (o narrativa no lineal) es una decisión bastante acertada en el film, no cae en la típica narración cronológica que se usa generalmente en películas románticas, empezamos cerca del desenlace pero poco a poco vemos como inicio mientras que al mismo tiempo vemos su nudo y al final volvemos al desenlace, contando todas las partes de la historia en distintos tiempos para entender mejor a ambos personajes, además de sumar la participación de un narrador para entender mejor algunos detalles. Me gustó como cambia la fotografía según la secuencia, alternando gracias a los distintos estados en la relación de Summer y Tom y a su vez el humor y estado de Tom.
Los personajes estan muy bien desarrollados y dejan en claro la postura de cada uno, Tom es interpretado por Joseph Gordon-Levitt un actor de reconocido recorrido quien nos da un excelente personaje en este film, vemos toda su transformación de ser alguien muy tranquilo sin aspirar a mucho a pasar a ser una persona muy feliz por todo, luego vemos su decadencia y su renacimiento al optar por seguir adelante con su vida. Zooey Deschanel da vida a Summer, un personaje que dividió mucho a los espectadores, esto logro que se analizara la postura de Summer mas a detalle y se puedan entender los dos lados, por un lado con actitudes egoistas y desinteresadas y por el otro un lado mas justo que deja las cosas en claro desde un inicio, ambas partes para mi son válidas y tienen sus pros y sus contras, gran trabajo de Zooey al dar vida a un personaje así.
En conclusión, es una cinta que merece la pena ser vista y analizada para tratar de comprender ambos lados.

Bom filme, me surpreendeu positivamente, recomendo a todos que estejam com alguma desilusão amorosa que o assista, pode até parecer meio bobinho, mas, é até bem profundo. Para você que é como eu que gosta de uma boa comédia romântica esse longa é indispensável.

500 Days of Summer is a romantic comedy directed by Marc Webb that offers a refreshing take on love, defying traditional romantic tropes. Released in 2009, the film follows the story of Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), but with a twist: it’s made clear from the start that “this is not a love story.”
The screenplay explores the relationship from Tom’s perspective, who falls deeply in love with Summer. However, unlike conventional romantic comedies, 500 Days of Summer doesn’t idealize love. Instead, it delves into the complexity of expectations, emotional mismatches, and how two people can perceive the same relationship in entirely different ways.
Strengths
The film's structure is one of its biggest strengths. Jumping between happy and painful moments, it allows the audience to experience the ups and downs of the relationship. The decision to skip between specific days of the couple’s journey gives the narrative emotional depth, emphasizing how our memories are a patchwork of feelings rather than a continuous flow of events.
Another strong point is the soundtrack, which perfectly complements the film’s bittersweet tone. Songs from bands like The Smiths and Regina Spektor capture the melancholic yet sweet mood of the story, reinforcing the emotional states of the characters.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel deliver standout performances. Gordon-Levitt brings vulnerability and charm to his role, while Deschanel embodies Summer’s enigmatic and unpredictable nature, making it easy to understand both Tom’s fascination and frustration.
Weaknesses
However, despite the narrative’s innovation, the film might frustrate viewers expecting a conventional "happily ever after." The story, though realistic, may leave some feeling that Summer’s character lacks depth. Much of the film revolves around Tom’s perceptions and idealizations, which can make the female lead feel like an unexplored mystery.
Conclusion
500 Days of Summer is a film that challenges the expectations of the romantic genre, offering a more honest, and often painful, take on relationships. It’s not a fairy tale, but rather a reflection on how expectations and reality can clash in love. With its innovative structure, charismatic performances, and engaging soundtrack, the movie captivates precisely because it’s a story of "not love." A great choice for anyone seeking something beyond the clichés of traditional rom-coms.
