papercuts hurt, work safely


yesterday i had the pleasure of seeing the film 500 Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as Tom who falls in love with a girl named Summer (played by the beautiful Zooey Deschanel). yes, this movie would probably be categorized as a romantic comedy but it is far from your sappy, formulated, fairytale one (for example, 27 Dresses, Maid of Honor, or basically any movie with Matthew McConaughey). no. instead 5DS was a refreshing breath of reality in the fact that when you fall in love with someone there is not always the guarantee that they will love you back. also, no matter how much it makes you hate your life, or possibly the other person, there is no need for that because the person has been put in your life so that you may learn something about yourself and there is no need to fret because you too will eventually find a person whom shares a mutual feeling of love with you. the movie highly reiterates something one of my very good friends (Sarah Wong) always tells me and i very often doubt: everything happens for a reason. all in all i highly recommend the movie both to girls and to guys who appreciate quality film. the actors were cast perfectly, it makes you laugh, the story is paced well in my opinion, and the cinematography is beautiful.

Music: Us - Regina Spektor
