"Sometimes people you love are just more compatible with someone else."
This hurts my dudes.

Man, this movie's portrayal of dating and relationships will age like wine. It fees more relatable now than it did in 2009

It’s always hard to accept that you may not be the love of somebody’s life.

A major detail that i love in that movie is at the very end where Summer describes how she met her husband, and she said 'Tom was right'. Showing how Tom changed her perspective a bit just like how she changed him. From her perspective, Tom is the manic pixie dream girl. I love how you can tell there are two completely different stories happening at the same time, but you only see Tom's perspective. Summer still existed even when she was off the screen.

Summer is the biggest red herring for the manic pixie dream girl trope. She has motivations, she has desires. She doesn’t only serve the male protagonists growth. I feel like that label greatly underserves the meaning of the movie and Summer’s character

It's such a human movie. That's the best part about it. Hating Summer and hating Tom aren't the point. They are both people with very real flaws and their realistic interactions drive the movie. Honestly one of my top 10, love this video man.

" how many of us entered a relationship thinking we can love someone enough to that they will change ?" That hit me hard

The whole movie is summed up by Chloe morez dialogue that just because a cute girl like the same bizzare crap as you doesn't makes her your true love

i love that the end shows there is hope for tom. he's more assured in his life. he's chasing his dreams. he's not "waiting" for love to inspire him. he also asks  autumn out right then and there without completely overthinking it. he's giving himself another chance at love and he's learned and matured from last time. the whole point is that he doesn't give up, that's why the numbers restart bc it's a new season, new beginning.

The hard part isn’t that someone doesn’t like you and just flat out rejects you. That part gets over fast. Hard part is when someone isn’t compatible with you but also attracted to you to the point they won’t reject you or commit to you, they would go along with the feelings you have for them for a long time because they sincerely do like you, but eventually end up with someone they are compatible with and break your heart.

They are both speaking their 'truth', but in the end, neither is listening.  They are both in their own world.

I will never and I mean this, I will never ever get bored of watching analysis videos on 500 days of summer - the only movie that has changed my perspective on love.

he said "10th aniversary" of the movie and i thought "wow 2005 was a long tine ago" but the movie is from 2009

"its hurts to realize that the people we love, are more compatible with someone else"

i was tom. it sucked, and the worst part is realizing you were mostly in the wrong. the whole dreamworld thing really hits home. i think it’s about maturity, and it’s relationships like this one that serve as a learning experience.

The reason there’s so many interpretations for the film is that both Tom and Summer are written and feel like real people.  Real people get jealous, they get insecure, they’re unsure of what they want sometimes in relationships, and the list goes on and on.

the last part made me tear up, no matter what you say, what song you sing, or what you do: you can’t force yourself to be love of someone’s life

"Love is seasonal" that's so poetic

The thing with Summer is that what she SAYS is (often) inconsistent with what she DOES.  She talks the talk of not believing in love and not wanting a ‘serious’ relationship, but then goes through the motions and is obvious endeared to much of his advances and romanticism.  She’s toying with him, but not deliberately (by some evil plan) but b/c she’s also confused about love as she figures out at the end.  She IS ‘toxic’ in this sense — due to her peculiar kind of confusion.  But her toxicity belongs in scare quotes b/c her heart is in the right place (in sensing she’s not long-term compatible with Tom), but can’t help but enjoy the ride, while it lasts, knowing that Tom has fallen for her and wants something serious.

I hate the idea of people hating this movie.
