Blog #2 Expectations and reality in the movie called “500 Days of Summer”




Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has a dream about being an architect, but his job is only writes greeting cards for a living. Zooey Deschanel as Summer is his boss's new assistant. He's instantly struck by the belief that she's the only girl in the world for him. Tom has always believed that he'd find "the one" someday so when Summer came, he knew that it was going to be a relationship he'd hoped for. Since this is not a typical Hollywood movie production, we are satisfied with the ending, no matter how wrong our guesses are.

500 Days of Summer” has so many scenes that deflect our assumptions. The most remarkable scene for me is the place in which Tom attends to Summer's birthday party at the rooftop. Prior to that scene, we are compelled to believe that after their misunderstanding, they're going to be together again. We see two frames - one is Tom's expectations, and the other is his reality. Obviously, reality never feels like our dream, the good stuff he expected and the other is reality, that Summer and he are just friends.


The storyboard of " 500 Days of Summer" is the one of significant examples to tell us that a you don’t necessarily need big budgets to get big returns, low-budget film also can made it big as these high-budget one.
