500 Days of Summer Quotes

greatest movie in a long time.the concept of fate and coincidence is greately analyzed i love the mohttps://www.blogger.com/comm... and f@@k this guy of the blog

that's "copy room" and not "coffee room" I guess..

summer is a bitch because she knew that tom was getting too emotionally involved. and she should have broken it off then. she strung him along. bitch.

I caught this film on Thanksgiving night on Hbo and thought about it all weekend. I felt I had to see it again so I bought it. While I think it is a very entertaining film and very realistic as to what many people like myself...ahem I mean Tom have gone thru upon further review Summer really is a very self centered person....She tells Tom she doesn't want a serious relationship or a boyfriend but then betrays this with her actions. If she really wanted just a buddy or a friend with benefits booty call guy she shouldn't have been spending all this time with Tom, cuddling, telling him intimate things she's never told anyone, having sex in the shower and bed, coming to his apartment in the middle of the night after an argument, etc...I mean, even his co-workers who knew them both considered them a couple. Then when they finally are broken up and they run into each other at the wedding Tom essentially becomes her date for the night. They dance together and she falls asleep on his shoulder on the ride home. She invites him to a party and it turns out to be her engagement party...she fails to tell him she is now in a serious relationship....She tells Tom the whole time she doesn't want to date anyone and now within 3 months she is on her way down the aisle.....none of this is explained however....so the moral of this movie is if your a good looking woman with options you can use a guy as a social spare tire to hang out with and have sex with until someone better comes along...then marry them 3 months after meeting. Screw Summer and this movie. Don't worry Tom, this broad will probably be divorced in a couple years if not sooner like her parents.

Also I forgot to add that I just feel like Summer didn't really grow as a person during her time with Tom. Her guard comes down a bit, but big deal. She is someone who does what she wants when she wants regardless of anyone's feelings. All she has to do is give a little disclaimer about not wanting to get too serious then that gives her permission to play hot and cold and be emotionally manipulative. She is not at all introspective and never really explained anything to Tom and didn't apologize for maybe misleading him a bit with the whole party thing....that's a pretty cold way to let a recent ex who still obviously has feelings for you find out that you are now in a new serious relationship that they had wanted with you. And we are supposed to be happy for Summer at the end. Seriously? There really is nothing that we are shown as redeeming about Summer...except superficial stuff like cool sense of style and liking cool bands.

In the ending summer told tom that she saw something in her husband that she didnt see in him, i dont think that makes her a bitch. But on the other hand the way she did do tom was completely wrong. I've myself been in tom's position,infact the way they broke up was alot like the way my boyfriend and i did. The way that people like summer and my ex think is that, i want to be happy, so i gotta move on. So you cant really be angry at her.

SUMMER didn't want commitments at all.. she warned him but he still insist.. TOM loved her, but she never throw it back to him.. Poor TOM driven by his emotions broke his own heart.. Yet, it sucks to fall inlove with the wrong girl!!!!

--they were not meant to be-- is that the bottom line???

Didn't you see the very end of the movie? That's exactly the OPPOSITE of the bottom line. Their meeting was just by chance...they were never meant to be/not meant to be, because, at the end, Tom realizes that there's really no such thing as fate - only coincidence.

I had watched the movie and the plot seems to haunt me everytime I think of Tom's misery. Yes, he has the most part that was so endearing and yet disappointing because of his assumptions and expectations about what Summer should feel about them. He was warned on the first place that nothing serious will happen between them and that the happiness they felt for each other everytime they are together is just a superficial manifestation of their own different understanding about love, companionship and friendship. The story focuses more on Tom because its a typical thing for a guy to be sure of himself towards his partner (or anything) and egoism manages a man's balls to be in control. However, despite the fact that Tom had experience dilemma having "relationship" with Summer, it bacame his detour to keep his focus on becoming a different man for he's sick of making greeting cards about what people should say and what people cannot express to someone. In fact, that time of his depression, he calmly subdued his intension and emotion into being a sharp and prominent man and that kind of transformation immensely brought him up because it's not just a fairytale but something that coincides the twist of fate and reality. In the end, it's not about wether he ends up with Summer or not, but the 500 days memories he had made with her that triggers his life to change and in the long run, to move forward for the next season with AUTUMN....

I've been in Tom's position before, and it's true what his little sister said; she didn't break his heart, he did. It seems justified to say that they were bf and gf because they had spent so much time together in a loving relationship-style of friendship. But everything hinges on her initial comment of not wanting to be in anything serious. And because it takes two to tango, Tom basically fooled himself into thinking that he had something serious and solid. Yes, anyone like Summer or my ex who would do that to another person has some serious intimacy issues. But everyone's different. And men who know better should know to stay away if all initial signs point to just being friends, no matter what happens later.

Summer warns tom at the beginning that she doesn't want anything serious. Just as we were warned at the beginning of the movie that it was not a love story. It's a story of boy meets girl. Yet, we fall in love with the idea of Tom and Summer together, just as Tom falls in love with Summer. Our feelings our meant to mimic Tom's, because even though we are warned up front we are devastated when Tom and Summer don't end up together. I don't mean to sound like an uppity better-than-everyone super skank either I just felt like this was an epiphany.

To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.

People who think Summer is a bitch are far off base. She’s honest and relatively straightforward, trying to have a good time. The movie would be entirely different if you saw it from her point of view.

Then why does she get married so soon after Tom?

Still seems like a biotch =/

that's what 500 days is about to me--seeing this relationship (ups and downs) from Tom's perspective and being treated to the exploration of his emotions and his memories of it
