I can't decide if I like movies with abrupt ends or not, It always make you think 10 000 thoughts you never would have though if you hadn't seen the movie, but at the same time it's really annoying to never know the "real" end. This movie is one of them. It has a gray tone over it, the only character that I liked was the (I can't remember names) main character's neighbor. .
Here he is to the left. The story is that the main character recieves a letter from an old lover, at this point his present wife leaves him. His neighbor wants to help him find this woman who has sent him this letter, because in it she wrote that her(his) son is on a trip trying to find his biological father. This she tells him so he can be prepared if someone knocks on his door. Since he had several lovers he (his neighbour decides) decides to travel around the country to visit each and everyone of them, give them a bunch of flowers and have a look in their homes to see if they have a photo or any other sign that they have a son.
The photo below is from one of his visits. I found it very amusing when you could see what they ate. Food so ala 1987 or something like that.. Some kind of light beige meat-square, with those kind of carrots that have a zig-zag pattern or whatever you should call it, carrots with grooves. I hate those carrots, they are soo tasteless and spongy. At least those that were frozen before they were boiled, or even worse heated in the micro oven.
Anyway, this is how the story continues, until the end, when the main character is back where he begun. But there is some kind of hope in the last scene.. To end this, I really liked his neighbour, he was funny and looked like a guy who loves life.
Ok, so I watched this movie (500 days of summer). Not exactely the best movie I have ever seen, but it was kind of good anyway. I liek happy endings and in some way this movie has one, but it's kind of a gray movie, and I don't like that. I know the color serves a meaning. It's like watching Twilight (I DON'T like that movie) I mean it's like walking in the rain on a really cloudy day. Maybe it depends on your mood if you like it or not.
Anyway, this girl summer really made me angry in some weird way, and that guy too, I don't remember his name. I mean the first thing she says is that she doesn't want a serious lasting relationship, even though that is what he Want, he doesn't say it. Later she dumps him, or course, and he is devastated. But what did he think? That must be something that leads many relationships to an end - When a couple doesn't want the same thing and aren't really willing to discuss it either. Of course she found another guy and they got married (the not-good-type of guy if you see to (I still don't remember his name)'s opinion on it.
The funny thing is how the movie ends. He decides to get a job at some kind of arcitecht place and there he meets this girl (before that he has met summer and she tells him something like: "One day I woke up and realized that he had what I missed in you" and that you can't really choose who you are going to marry and everything just happens by coincidens..what if I hadn't been there just then, and what if I hadn't done that, it felt like it was coincidence and it felt very right). Then the narrator of the story says something like:
"You can’t describe great cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence, that’s all anything ever is, nothing more than coincidence. There are no miracles. There is no such thing as fate. Nothing is meant to be."
I mean that is a pretty good line. It's so easy to think that everything is planned and that you don't have the power to change things and in some way make life what you want it to be. I could go on forever and complain about the words used in this quote, but I won't. Complaining too much is never good for you.
By the way, I really like that picture from the movie, I so want it to be summer now, please coincidence where are you?
I found my old mp3 player earlier today, was kind of a shock how fast time is passing, but I found a bunch of good songs too that I had even forgot excited like. Last Request - Paulo Nutini, (embarrassing but I like this one) Let Me Love You - Mario and Imagine - Eva Cassidy.. So after taking a walk in the great weather I sat down to watch a movie, and didn't realize that it was good. May sound weird, but i just wanted to watch something, since I have no TV I sometimes watch movies, otherwise it feels like I'm isolated from normal life and other normal people - who have a TV.
I really Liked it, you should watch it. Sunshine cleaning, a movie about two sisters who is starting a cleaning business. I really think that Amy Adams is doing a great job, and that boy who is acting her son is really cool..Here comes some pictures:
I ahve to say it again, I love this movie so much! *laughing*. I wonder why, maybe it has something in common with other movies that I like, like Amelie From Montmarte, Big fish etc.
Here comes some photos:
I convinced Kristoffer to see it, at first he didn't want to because he said it was a "girly movie", but after 2 months he finally watched it, AND hahahah! he liked it. He said: "It was a really good movie and I really like it. BUT promise me one thing! Don't tell anyone, because I still think it's a "girly movie" "
