(500) Days of Summer
I really enjoy anything that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in and Zooey Deschanel is great as well. Her character lacks a bit and I don’t feel like she’s this amazing person that he should get all caught up in. Maybe that’s the point.
But I like the part at the end where she says, something along the lines of, I knew with him what I was never sure of with you. It’s too bad that love isn’t fair and that it doesn’t make any sense. There’s this atmosphere of comfort and warmth when you find the right person and it’s really, “If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack.” You don’t really know what’s missing, you just know that it is, until it isn’t.
“It’s love, not Santa Claus.”
