Script Analysis Of ' ( 500 ) Days Of Summer '

Unlike the usual romantic comedy that paints a perfect picture of romantic entanglements having a happy ending, (500) Days of Summer is a more believable love story with realistic complications. The film shows the actuality of relationships and the complications that come along with them. Tom is so in love with the idea of Summer that he completely ignores all of the things that she has been telling him. From the beginning, she let him know what type person she was and what type of person she wasn’t. Tom was too blinded by his own expectations to actually take in any of what she was saying.

The movie 500 Days of Summer was not a good movie. Maybe because it was not the typical romantic movie that has an happy ending. Or that this movie actually shows how relationships go in life. Its not always smooth sailing. 500 Days of Summer could have been more of a good movie, if it just explained things more, it could have been a little better. The whole plot of the movie was okay and creative but one of the main characters (Summer) was just confusing. She treated Tom very wrongly in the movie. Another reason why 500 Days of Summer was not a good movie was because of the ending. It was just like what was the purpose of watching the whole movie.

The fight for justice is not always unequivocal or favorable, sometimes justice is given by means that do not seem fair at all. William Styron says in a novel that life “is a search for justice.” It is blatant that throughout Khaled Hosseini's novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, female characters are continuously battered with injustices. Hosseini hones into the oppression of women and the fight for women empowerment through the life of one of his main characters, Mariam. Her journey is shown throughout the novel where she struggles to search for and understand justice.

My favourite media product is the film (500) Days of Summer. There are many things about it that I find compelling, but to name a few specifics, I find myself very drawn to the symbolism, the cinematography, and the characters. If I were to adapt the film to another media platform, I would adapt it to theatre, in the form of a play. I think that between the cinematography and the symbolism, the film would have the potential to be a very visually appealing play. The film uses colour as a recurring symbol throughout, which makes for very serene, put-together, cinematography. The colour brown is used to correspond with the character of Tom, whose eyes are also brown. The same is done with the character of Summer and the colour blue. The colours

Just as Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, some people can become Christ figures for people in their own lives. In the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, this aspect of a Christ figure is shown through the character Mariam Khan, who becomes a savior for her friend Laila and Laila’s children. She is portrayed as Christlike through the way she is born, lives, and dies.

Two of the most prominent aspects of editing that can be identified within this film are the flashforward and the flashback. At the commencement of the film, a flashforward is employed. It shows drums being played in a forest by the three characters that were yet to be introduced to the audience. Then the scene quickly cuts to the main character, Joe, in the shower at his house. This flashforward is used in order to provide the audience with an idea of what is to come in the not-so-distant future of the film. Another flashforward is utilized when Joe, Patrick, and Biaggio are living in the forest. This flashforward shows Joe and the female lead, Kelly, in the woods. It portrays the two in a romantic light, and includes a confession from Kelly that she wants to stay and live in the forest with Joe. This flashforward, unlike the previous example, does not come true. However, it is used to portray the deep emotions of Joe, and his longing for female companionship. These emotions become relevant when Kelly falls for Joe’s friend Patrick instead of him. During the conclusion of the film, a flashback is employed so the audience can relive the previous events that occurred within the film. When Biaggio is in the hospital, a flashback reminds the audience of when Joe and Patrick first entered the forest, at the onset of their adventure. This flashback brings the audience back to a happier and lighter point in the story line. In the film The Kings of Summer, flashfowards and

When I first watched (500) Days of Summer, I thought it was going to be a refreshing look at a relationship from a male perspective that, despite all efforts on his behalf, it just didn’t work out. It’s a side we rarely see played out in films. Although in many ways, (500) Days of Summer did challenge perception of masculinity, there was also the underling problem, Tom fell in love with the idea of Summer, not Summer as an actual complex female. Tom struggles with contradictory messages of masculinity that affects and impacts his decision-making when it comes to Summer, both during and after their relationship throughout the movie. Tom's masculine tendencies

in my own imagination. she was this kind of child, who are introverts and love to read — who prefer to curl up with a book than to hang out with friends or play at the ball field. hat's how she became a writer.her books have varied in content and in style. Yet it seems to me that all of them deal, essentially, with the same general theme: the importance of human connections. A Summer to Die, her first book, is a fictionalized retelling of the early death of her sister, and of the effect of such a loss on a family. Number the Stars, set in a different culture and era, tells of the same things: the role that humans play in the lives of our fellow beings.

Throughout the movie “500 Days of Summer” there are multiple communication concepts that play a key role in both the outcome of the movie and how the characters in the movie are perceived.
