Well, Marc Webb and the writers of 500 Days of Summer thought this line was appropriate to kick off their film so...
"This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story."
Its true, its true.
So I'm a reallllly big Fox Searchlight fan (Juno, Slumdog Millionaire, Little Miss Sunshine, I Heart Huckabees, etc.) so naturally I was really looking forward to this new edition to a long list of great productions. For some reason I kept getting conflicting information about its release date, though, then all of a sudden it was out haha. Since then I have seen it three times and am itching to go again. In fact, I wish I could see it every single day. This movie has everything you could possibly want all wrapped up in a cute little collage of photos. Great plot. Great actors. Great chemistry among actors. Great music. Perfect balance between comedy and sincerity. I've been urging everybody I've talked to since to see it. I mean seriously, like get in line now. This is just one of those films that leaves feeling on top of the world haha. And really I can't decide if it's soundtrack beats Juno's or Garden State's. Its so great.
Its just hopeful I guess haha. Its one of the reasons I was finally inspired to start this blog.
I heard in an interview after this movie debuted that Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (leading roles) hope to become like one of those 1930's-40's couples who've never actually dated realistically but have extraordinary on-screen chemistry. It'll be like the cherry on the sundae for them too. Deschanel has fantastic, not to mention unique, vocal talents for the time and so we find at a karaoke bar in the film, so does her partner. Their careers are set haha. Two young, attractive and talented actors who can sing, dance, and really convince any audience member they're meant for eachother.
Though, I guess that would be defeating one of the messages of the film huh?
Marc Webb and the duo did a little side project during the filming of this movie apparently. Check it out.
