So having just watched 500 days of Summer I'm feeling oddly emotionally open.. I'm sure it will pass, but in the mean time it might make for an rare "about me and my feelings" kind of journal update.. which will surely be wildly amusing to me later.
So firstly, the movie was super super good. It was really quite well done and felt strangely familiar in more ways that one. It was intelligent, fresh, sexy and hip (so a lot like me
). I could definitely relate to several characters in the movie, or at least relate them to people whom have gone in and out of my life over the last 20 years or so. Certain aspects of the movie really made me miss being in a relationship, from the fun stuff.. i.e. running through Ikea to the bad stuff.. a fight over blatant miscommunication about a topic that everyone else but the two of us could work out. It has been awhile since I've wanted to be with someone.. recently I was dating (but don't tell her that b/c she'll tell you we were never dating) a girl. She reminded me a lot of Zooey's character.. but only in some ways. In other ways I found that her character reminded me more of me.. if that makes any sense. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character was relatable too.. in that I felt like I was where he is at in the movie like 4 years ago, but not these days. Anyway, about this girl. She is wonderful, for a time I thought we were totally right for one another. Now I realize that, that concept was completely wrong. But that doesn't mean we didn't have a lot of fun together, because we did! I think it is mainly that fun that I am currently missing. I mean who doesn't love those first parts of a relationship when things feel just so perfect, when you communicate with nothing but your eyes and laugh at the silliest of things. Generally movies don't leave me in such a state of reminisce, but this film was just done so well... it felt honest and real.. and I guess thats why I'm left thinking about these things that I miss.
Anyway for now I'm left missing that connection with another human that is so inexplicably fun and frustrating. Hopefully tomorrow my totally disinterest in the female sex will return. For a movie that is about the break down of hope and relationship.. it some how left me wanting exactly the opposite.. hope and a relationship. Man I'm just so fucking weird sometimes.
Maybe that wasn't as emo as I was thinking it was going to be..
