so i just watched this movie yesterday, with a very good female friend of mines. i totally avoided bringing a "date" type to this movie for several reasons.
1. this movie was great...so many parallels to my life, well to any ones life for that matter. its an easily relate-able movie, everyone has been in either Tom or Summers shoes. at first glance i thought i was the Tom character, but upon further examination, i see that i hold a lil bit of both of them in me.
2. as stated in the beginning of this movie, THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY. definitely not a love story, but a story about LOVE. it makes sense in my mind, it was not about the romance btw these two people, but rather their perception of LOVE n relationships. NOT A LOVE STORY.
3. (spoiler) They made Summer to be such a bitch in the movie, but in the end we learn that she was being the most honest person in the moive. you wanted to hate her, in a sense i kinda still do. only because i relate so much to the Tom character.
well these are just a few reasons why i didnt want to bring a date to this movie, the fact that i did not want to relate myself so much to this character that my "date" would have second thoughts. etc... its not a love story, so no ones gettin laid after this moive (who knows, maybe) and i TOTALLY didnt want to start a fight at the movie about Summer being a bitch, when she wasnt really.
when i saw this movie n as it progressed i related soo much to the tom character. his ideas of love n romance almost are as identical to mines. (plz read two blogs ago, thats before i saw this movie) it was that convoluted idea of boy meets girl, they break up, boy wins girls heart....happily ever after. but from what i can say from experience...its more like: boy meets girl...boy falls in love with girl...girl breaks his heart. when it should be...boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, GIRL RECIPROCATES THE EXACT FEELINGS, they live happily ever after.
during the movie i couldnt do anything but think of the situation im in right now. am i rushing her? does she feel the same way for me....have i been wasting my time....where is this going? am i the Tom thats just lookin at the good things and not seeing that she isnt the one for me? i dont even want to question it any more.
but all in all this was a great movie. i highly recommend everyone to go see it, and judge for yourself. as for now,
i'll just end it as my therapist/bff just told me: dont let your love life define you.
