Of Summer Bflix | 500 Days

Why do I keep doing this to myself? At least the architecture scenes are cool.

The film’s most radical act is its finale. After 500 days, Tom finally accepts that Summer was not “the one”—she was a person. He moves on, only to meet Autumn (Minka Kelly) at a job interview. A lesser film would imply that Autumn is the corrected version of Summer. Instead, Tom smiles not because he has found a new love, but because he has learned to stop looking for a narrative resolution. The final title card reads, “Day 1,” suggesting that all relationships are a series of beginnings, not a journey to an ending. 500 days of summer bflix
