/500 days of summer

plot:
one guy believes she (summer) is the One for him
the girl just takes life as it comes, doesn't want the boundaries of a commitment/relationship, free spirit
the beginning, honeymoon and good period, and eventual break up
he suffers. she wants to be friends if possible. she happens to meet someone, and ends up being happily married.
he pursues being an architect finally (instead of the dead end job of writing greeting cards) and the beginning of a possible new relationship begins

messages:
happenings in life (including love) are coincidences, but you have to make opportunities happen

can't beat the dark hair, big blue eyes of summer (zooey deschanel)
joseph gordon-levitt is kinda cute, but can see remnants of being a kid actor. supposed to be a decent singer and dancer, and you see that a bit in the movie. still not ultimately my 'type.'

glad i watched it. but wouldn't really watch it again.

dvd from living room...
