500 days of summer

I don't like romantic comedies much. I'm too much of a cynic. Doesn't mean you can't ignore the idea of love, and it often finds it's way into films. I liked Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally. Over the last couple of months I've seen 500 Days of Summer a few times. Its rung a few home truths too. There's something compelling about this film that makes me want to watch it over and over again, and I mean over and over again...

Don't really want to spoil it, but the main character Tom gets involved with a girl and gets obsessed with her. The non linear story line is great and makes you really get involved with the story, tracking all the changes. But forgetting the sappy stuff...

The main point I derived from the film is how the main characters post breakup depression leads him to some life altering changes, deep introspection makes you really think about what makes you happy. Every cloud and all that...
