(500) Days of Summer

Recently I watched (500) Days of Summer, a romantic comedy as the narrator says: "About a boy, meet a girl, but not a love story". Okay, I think he lied about the "not a love story part" after watching it, it's obviously about a boy (Tom Hansen) who fall in love with a girl, who he think his destiny, his soul mate. The girl (Summer Finn) doesn't believe in such things, however she seems to return the boy's feeling.

The relationship doesn't work as the boy's expectation, they broke up badly, and meet again in the train. After some dancing and talking, the boy think that he could renew the romance, instead he's invited to a party. Unfortunately for the boy, in this party he saw that Summer is already wearing an engagement ring, he ran home feeling miserable, after days of self pitying and remorse, he quit his job as a greeting card writer and pursue his dream career as an architect. In the end of the movie, he met another girl, who regularly go to his favorite spot in the city but he never notice, she said her name is Autumn.
After I saw this movie, I can connect with the boy feeling, however I also think that this kind of things doesn't always involve personal relationship. Sometimes we're overly attached to a person, a place, a job, a things, etc that we feel that it's the most important person/place/job/things in the world, we love it dearly, we can't live without it. When the day comes we must part with it, our world end.... We're blinded by the so called "love" and forget to notice that as the movie said in a conversation between Tom and his 12 year old sister Rachel, "there's plenty other fish in the sea (although most of them are guppies...)". We overlook other doors that open in front of us because that one closed door.
I think that it's time for us to embrace the moment, and leave the past behind, see the future, seek new adventure.
All in all it's a good movie, watch it if you haven't
