A boy, Tom. A girl, Summer. Just an average girl who thought
did not not exsist. Then there was Tom. The man that fell in love with her.
The film uses time in an interesting back and forth to show
how two people can have very different views upon love. It starts from the
middle rather than the end of the love story. From there we can see that Tom is
clearly unhappy. This was not the case when he first met her on day one but on
days that when we move further into the timeline shows that he has conflicting
messages coming from her. This is proven false when he describes certain
situations that he has experienced. It only shows that he has over analyzed it
once again. The important part to grasp from this movie is that these love hate
evets occured back and forth but in the way we veiwed them, it very much seemed
like he had everything right. But we are viewing these things from that of
Tom’s perspective.
The most important thing that made this film absolutely
fantastic was timing. Marc Webb prooved that not only a comedy genre had to be
good with timing but also a romantic story had to have this as well. This is
understandable considering that both comedy and romance both appeal to that of
the pleasurable parts of the brain rather than that of those of Sci-fi or
Action. If we go back to the beginning of the film, we can also see that the
director made interesting parallelisms between the two characters to make sure
the audience unterstood the space that forms between them. This can be seen as something
that comes natural to all of us but it can also be an element best used to
describe relationships and space. Plus another factor or element I would say
that made this film was how relatable the characters were to this modern day of
romance. Sure many of us look fo love but it does not always play out like
those cheesy romantic comedies make it out to be.
