Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.
A fresh breeze, unique, every scene of its original and watchable more than once. Thats what led me to watch it for the 2nd time and looks like I am going to watch it more than 2 times :) Such an adorable movie. Such lively characters, ones you can actually relate with. Summer(Zooey Deschanel), with the 60s hair cut, cute as a button. Tom(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with the boyish looks and the sweet smiles( the smile that makes the eyes close :P)
Tom is looking for "The One" for him when Summer comes along as an assistant in his office. The greeting card one-liners writer falls for a girl, is totally mesmerized by her only to know that she is not looking for a real relationship. The randomly numbered days spent with Summer and the contrast between each is so awesomely shown, great originality here. How Tom swings from an elated mood to a sulky one when Summer makes it obvious that she is still not looking for a relationship. The small talks with the younger sis(she's his love guru :D), the conversations with mckensie and his other friend are adorable as well. The chemistry of the characters with each other is awesome.
Summer though is shown quite unpredictable. On one hand, she is sharing her darkest of thoughts with Tom and on the other hand, she doesn't feel for him as she should feel for a boyfriend. That part is quite queer.
What I also fail to understand that even after making him miserable, Tom falls again for her when they meet in the train only to have his heart broken again. The movie misleads when Tom and Summers in those scenes are shown so much in love. How they dance at Millie's wedding, so much in love, a made for each other couple. How Tom's "Expectations" do not align with "Reality" when he arrives at the party thrown by Summer is just fantastic. So true, seldom do our expectations align with reality. What impresses me is that this movie is closer to reality and still manages to entertain..
How in the karaoke session, Tom and Summer argue over the definition of Love and if it really exists! And how Summer whos afraid of relationship falls for another guy, just so agreeing with what Tom said "you will know love when you feel it" and how Tom is led to believe that nothing is meant to be, its just pure coincidence, everything that happens and so he moves on with his life..The end though is so Bollywood movie-like :D another gal comes along for him :) Well..A Happy Ending..
Not a love story..But a story about Love..

Oh now wats ur name!!!, ok its Heena; It's weird i know,let me unwrap my soul,i had to go back at joshi's blog to getur name. I was searching for few good photographs and landed up at you blogspot.
Hmm pretty good, you have nice thought and lot of questions thrown in. I did like the movie though.
Here are my thoughts.
I work as a Softie to earn money and run my life, that does mean the necessity in life of being connected.Responding to emails checking issues in code.Getting updates.Logging in to orkut uploading photoes.And the thoughts that brooded out of ur mind did come up to my mind too.So i went in search for a reason to check this , it was certainly a wonderful awesome journey of self realisation. Ultimately it is self satisfaction of beeing yourself.I have come a long experimenting on this , vitnessed humiliations but by the end of the day when you find the answer for all these its portraying 'tat tvam asi' ,
keep on blogging , all the best :)
Thanks for your comment! Keep visiting my blog :)
