(500) Days of Summer


(500) Days of Summer

After how many days?.....I am not sure. But my story didn't take as long as 500 days. With the recent inspiration, I decide to quit writing something sad but to start something happened in my life. This should be the right attitude of blog writing. Isn't it?

Let's start talking about movie.

Last Thursday after work, on the 1st day of the release of "(500) days of summer", I rushed to watch this movie. It is like a mirror....very genuine, realistic, heart-lighted and inspiring. Don't get wrong, it is not encouraging at all. I can say this is totally a sad story. It talks about the truth, the truth of how relationship happens and ends.

It illustrates a very typical relationship phenomenon of this century. "One cares, another not" It is a story about how Tom fell in love Summer, the struggling of Tom to have such an ambiguous relationship, the dilemma of accepting the realistic or fantasy, the difficulty in dispersing the frustration brought by the break up, the faith of accepting the end of the story and how Tom realized the importance of leaving the darkness.

And the most important of all, the story tells why every relationship starts and ends without a clue. “It is coincidence, it is meant to be, it is fate.”

Movie finished, I kept thinking about the story. It is so true....we are human beings, human beings usually do not really fond of seeing something real. We are all living in fantasy, more or less. Humm.....I admit I am the hard core fan of fantasy. But I am changing....I know I am changing.

If I am not going to change the world, what I can do is to change myself to fit into this world. I know that story is coming to an end, but at the same time, I believe it is just another story to start. Take a deep breathe, it is meant to be.
