another horror movie rom com for me😭 (if ykyk) (500) Days of Summer (2009) follows Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a hopeless romantic who believes in true love and destiny, and Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), a woman who doesn’t share his belief in traditional relationships. After meeting at work, the two form a connection that quickly becomes an important part of Tom’s life, but their different expectations of love lead them down a complicated and emotional path. Told through different moments across their 500 days together, the film explores love, heartbreak, expectations, and the way we sometimes romanticize relationships differently from how they actually happened. Rather than a traditional love story, (500) Days of Summer is a bittersweet look at falling for someone, learning to let go, and discovering how heartbreak can ultimately help us grow and understand ourselves better.
