kesan pertama gw waktu nonton film ini.....
" GILA !!! cerita ni film mirip banget kaya kisah cinta gw... hohohohoho...."
Everyone loves summer. It's a time for friends, family, and fun. Ballgames, barbecues, amusement parks, and movies, summer is just a time to sit back, relax and enjoy. Enjoy time off, good weather and whatever else it might bring. Am I missing something? Oh yes, love. Summer is a time for love.
The film can be pretty much summed up in one of the first lines of the film. "This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story." But is it? 500 Days of Summer is not your typical romantic film. There's something to it, something more than your usual romantic comedy. Maybe it's the style it's done? Maybe it's the realistic nature? Maybe it's the wonderful music? Maybe its the beautiful cinematography? Maybe, its Tom and Summer...
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are the leads, Tom and Summer. These are real everyday people. Tom, a believer in true love. Summer, a doubter. Which reminds me of one particular scene where Summer questions Tom about believing in love. Tom replies, "It's love, it's not Santa Claus." It is a real thing, a crazy little thing called love. Tom falls in love with Summer from the start. She doesn't. Tom is like every other guy, and every guy knows of a girl like Summer. The girl they want, but can't have. They try, to no avail. It's frustrating, and Tom is frustrated. He's happy then sad. He doesn't know what to think. Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel have great chemistry together and give solid performances. You really believe their relationship and hardships. It makes you notice the little things in relationships. The film highlights two young stars on the rise. With some great performances lately for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, his stock is rising... dare I say an up and coming Heath Ledger?
The story is not in direct order as it goes back and forth from different days Tom remembers his life and relationship with Summer. When remembering, we may not remember every detail in order. We choose what we want to remember. May that be the good, or the bad. For Tom, it's a little bit of both. Big props to the editing department. The film shows the good and the bad of love, relationships, and life. There's something about it that sets it apart from the usual romantic comedy.
500 Days of Summer is really refreshing now a days. It's funny, unique, and true to life. It's got something for everybody to like. Director Marc Webb shines in his feature film debut. I'm interested to see where he goes from here. 500 Days of Summer has quickly become a late summer highlight for me and surprisingly so at that.
Kisah dimulai dari Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) yang bekerja sebagai penulis kartu ucapan dan berusaha untuk menemukan cinta sejatinya. Dan kemudian bertemu dengan Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), pekerja baru di kantornya. Summer adalah seseorang yang tidak percaya akan cinta.
Film ini sendiri diceritakan secara menarik, dengan alur maju-mundur, biasanya penonton akan dibuat bingung dengan alur cerita. Tapi, 500 Days of Summer mengemasnya dengan baik. Agar tidak membingungkan, 500 Days of Summer memperlihatkan hari-hari yang dilalui Tom dalam bentuk angka (susah dijelaskan, makanya harus tonton sendiri). Film ini sendiri bergenre komedi romantis, sehingga banyak juga adegan lucu yang dapat membuat anda tertawa.
Kalau mengharapkan kisah cinta yang manis dan berakhir happy ending maka lebih baik urungkan niat untuk menonton film ini. Tapi bukan berarti kisahnya juga berakhir sedih. Kisah ini bukan macam Romeo-Juliet yang berakhir tragis, juga bukan macam Rangga-Cinta yang berakhir manis. Tapi ini kisah tentang orang “biasa” macam kita yang jatuh cinta. Tapi film ini tetap layak ditonton kok. Rating saya 8/10.
