Forums - General - I hated the ending of 500 days of Summer (Spoilers for the movie)

Felt like a complete and utter mockery of everything the movie stood for upto that point.

"He was the one", "I wasn't sure if you were the one!", and oh "The cosmos has some special magic belief powers that follow every single person in the world and make sure they all find the 'one' for them."

Putting "special powers" whether it be anything is just stupid when deciding who to marry or who your in love with.

Humans can't make their own choice in the matter, no, of course not, who ever heard of human choice? That's a stupid idea!

We should always put inhumane "specialness" qualities that have no basis in fact to glorify our decisions as the greatest thing ever by saying the cosmos is somehow responsible with garbage like fate and destiny. Does that mean we're fated to die in a certain specific situation too?

Terrible ending, don't watch it, imo.

Agreed. But I'd go further and say the female love interest was a real witch. Not very likeable at all. Much like Eva Mendes' character in Hitch. Where you often wonder why the male protagonist is even interested in such classless women.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

PhoenixKing,

What were you expecting, the typical Hollywood ending of the guy getting the girl at the end? This is actually a far more refreshing (if a little depressing) movie because it's different and is an experience than many have unfortunately had to go through.



Why is it stupid, Summer didn't want to marry Tom, she didn't even want a serious relationship with him remember. Then she met the one, why is that so unbelievable.

The two things I hated were as follows:

 

1.) Summer's reason for marrying some other guy and the fact she couldn't have known them for longer than a few months before deciding to marry.

2.) Autumn's entire introduction, I felt, made a complete mockery of what the film was about. That there are no "fated" meetings and Summer's entire reasoning doesn't make sense, in my opinion.

 

Some cosmic superpower is watching everyone in the world and deciding who they will pair off with and gives them the divine foresight to let them know? I mean..., really? The entire background message was completely laughable in my honest opinion.

I understand what you're saying, but

1) Summer just knew that the other guy was the one, why does how long they've known each other an issue?

2) But isn't meeting Autumn "fate", it took falling in love with Summer and being Heartbroken to get Tom back into Architecture, which is how he met Autumn in the first place.

3) Maybe its just me, but Love doesn't always make sense, in my opinion

1.) She spends how long with Tom being in love with him and then suddenly she found the one in like a few days? -_-'

2.) That's the entire issue I have with it. Just "knowing" and the explanation being some cosmic superpower is just ridiculous. Tom just "knew" Summer was the one and yet that didn't turn out well. Why does everything have to be some inhumane power taking control of people and making their decisions for them as some philosophical garbage people come up with to seem smart? Ugh...

3.) But love is slow, not something you automatically decide on because some guy comments on some comic you're reading.

1) She said she didn't want anything serious, she didn't believe in Boyfriend/Girlfriend. Summer saw them as friends with benefits, more than being in love. It wasn;t fair to tom, but she made it clear she wasn't in it for a serious relationship.

2) Tom thought she was the "one", but Summer didn't feel the same there is nothing he can do about. I don't think people think of this stuff to seem smart, its just something that people believe in. Just because you don't like it or agree with it, doesn't mean it isn't true

3) Love isn't one set thing, love just is whatever it may be. We don't control it and we can't help it. If you haven't experienced something, like falling madly in love in a short period of time, the  you shouldn't knock it

I thought the movie was great and refreshingly realistic.

Don't get me wrong, the characters were all full of shit. Summer was like the fucking devil and Tom was a dellusional lovesick idiot.

 

But real people are too.



Quem disse que a boca é tua?

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

Take out the voice-overs. Just view the scenario on its own. It's incredibly plausible, realistic, and refreshingly honest.

I watched the movie right after a brutal break-up and wasn't ready to let go, it was damned encouraging.
