I've been an absent blogger recently. I'd love to say it was because I've been too busy. Which would be partly true, but it's not. The truth is I've been suffering from major blog block. Everything I've attempted to write has sound more than a little rubbish. So rather than update my blog for a couple of weeks with rubbish I decided to just take a brake. And save you guys from taking a few moments out of your time on blog posts that would have sent you to sleep.
So what makes me think this blog post is so great. I don't. I spent this afternoon watching '(500) Days of Summer'. If you have not watched this film. You are missing out. Taking a new look at the rom-com genre. As the film warns you from the beginning this is not going to be your typical love story. Yet it is still a story about love. It's my favourite type of storytelling. A story about the characters. Characters you care about. Characters that you are rooting for the whole way through the film. It also has a killer soundtrack.
Zooey Deschanel is great in this film. She turns a character you don't think your going to like and makes her likeable. This is one star definitely to keep an eye out for.
This not a lovey dovey film by any means. But if you have ever truly loved someone you will definitely be able to understand the film. So what are you waiting for. Go out and rent/buy this dvd right now!
That sounds good but is definitely not my genre! I've been an= absent blogger too, no worries. Spring fever just has me out and about!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this film. The plot and outcome was definitely unexpected in every way. I also really loved Zooey Deschanel's wardrobe in the film. Something I would love to emulate.
ReplyDeleteI loved everything about this film. Some of my friends didn’t really get it, they thought it was slow and boring but i couldn’t disagree with them more. Plus i have a small crush on Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt come to think of it. Anyways, you can pick it up for like £5 now so everyone should defiantly go out and pick a copy up.
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys seem to have enjoyed this film as much as me :) Zooey Deschanel is fast becoming one one of my fave actresses :)
