500 Days Of Summer might be my favorite movie of all time… it’s NOT A LOVE STORY, but it is a story about love. Told through a nonlinear timeline that skips back and forth across the 500 days of the relationship between Tom Hansen (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer Finn (played by Zooey Deschanel), 500 Days Of Summer offers a fresh, realistic take on love, heartbreak, and the expectations we place on relationships.

“For Tom Hansen, this was the night where everything changed. That wall Summer so often hid behind – the wall of distance, of space, of casual – that wall was slowly coming down.
