2010 (500) Days of


I want to be blunt: a film that seems with a note saying: "The events and people, living and dead, are present in this all of the author's work. Especially you, Jenny Beckman. Bitch "is bound to have something special. And this has. Not so much for the topics addressed, although the film prodoghi in the state to the contrary, we are faced with a romantic comedy, the encounter between the two lovers until the collapse of the relationship, but to really hit some features. What Are They?

First, the reversal of the characters: the vast majority genre films, is the man who fears that the constraints posed by a possible relationship, which makes a mockery of the feelings of his beloved. Here is the exact opposite: Tom, played by Joseph Gordon Lewitt, is the dreamer, the one who thinks it will never be truly happy unless co girl at his side, view of life derivatagli "from an early exposure to English pop melancholy and a totally far-fetched reading of the film The Graduate "Sun (which has the features dell'incantevole Zooey Deschanel) is actually the individualist, one who flees from the ties too tight and he plays with the heart of the male protagonist. I would add that the two are fully lowered into the part, which makes it more credible and compelling. And now we are one.

Another element that makes the film unique, even more than others in my personal opinion, is the soundtrack, really breathtaking, capable of ranging from folk songs to rock electronic Temper Trap (their Sweet Disposition seems literally sewn on the film), through Wolfmother, the sophisticated pop of Regina Spektor, and especially for rock melancholy hours, now almost burlesque of The Smiths (God will rest his soul), allowing us to also quotes Ringo Starr, Belle & Sebastian and Bruce Springsteen. As a lover of Morrissey's band I appreciate even more the work of director Mark Webb. Not since Elizabethtown Cameron Crowe had not seen a movie where the soundtrack was such a great value in the general economy of the product.

step further, one can not but praise the installation of (500) Days of , which tells the story of Sun and Tom through digressions or leaps forward, able to move to a story that was repeated in chronological order, would Perhaps bored. In this view, already the first fifteen minutes of film are enlightening: Incipit, titles, immediately a day (299), with Tom im prey to a crisis of abandonment, return to the day (1) She met with him that . Good idea, exciting results.

note is some trade clever jokes about going, like those traded by Tom and his friend Paul on the "odd jobs"; attempts (however clumsy) to attract the attention of Tom Sun; the machinations of the protagonist on the nature of his relationship with you

Finally, lots of goodies here and there for the work that may not please the long-running film buffs, or simply has a taste for the little things that can give personality to a film from beginning mockumentaristico , the session almost surreal cinema recited in French and German, found to indicate the development of the visual relationship with colored drawings now, now monochrome.

Although not myself a great lover of romantic movies, I can only speak well of (500) Days of , particularly in light of the plethora of qualities that I have explained in the article. If it were not for The Onion Movie , would be my personal surprise film of the year just ended.
