500 Days of Summer

Over the break I watched 500 days of summer for the 50th time. It's a movie that never seems to disappoint me no matter how many times I watch it. What really keeps me interested is how the time skips from the beginning of their relationship to the end, comparing how moments used to be to how they are once they started drifting from each other. My favorite scene is when the director cuts the screen in half with one side labeled "Reality" and the other labeled "Expectations". The same party is being shot but on the left side where the reality is, is the real version of the party. On the right side where it says expectations is how he had wished the party had went. It really touched me because it lets you into a characters mind in a different way than I have ever seen before. It's more than them just talking, it's being able to see into their minds. This will always be one of my favorite movies, not just because of the story, but how the director made the movie so easy to follow and how you can really get to know the character in a different way.
