(500) Days of Summer [Revisit]

This one has actually dropped a bit in my estimation. I love all of the small quirks the film features; the great soundtrack, the full-on dance sequence out of nowhere, the nonlinear narrative, the scene transitions, the interviews with other characters, the sage-like little sister, and especially the 'Expectations vs. Reality' sequence. There is a lot to like here.

But on this most recent viewing, JGL's character seemed a lot worse than I had remembered, and he and his friends have some problematic 'women are objects' dialogue that stuck out of an otherwise beautiful film. The ending also felt a bit too cheesy this time around.

That being said, I still really love this movie.

9.25/10
