《心‧跳500天》

看過不少愛情片,這一部的拍攝手法很有趣。一如影片簡介,這不是一部普通的愛情片,是一個關於愛情的故事。

一對輾轉相識500天的俊男美女,男愛女,女不愛男。男的追求真愛,女的玩世不恭,視男女關係為遊戲。戀人關係發展至鬧翻分手,男的回顧過往,希望找到出錯的理據,從打亂的時序所呈現,看到後現代戀愛新模式。

我一邊看一邊替主角開心,一邊看一邊陪著主角低沉。到故事中段,已隱約知道故事必然是個遺憾 - 從一開始,早就說過男女主角有著不同的愛情觀了。

有人相信一見鍾情,有人偏愛細水長流,有人相信天長地久,有人視愛情為生存唯一目的。相對地,有人選擇不相信愛情,不相信婚姻,也不相信愛情可以恆久不變。

無論抱著哪一種愛情觀,也可以自得其樂,因為在愛情世界裏,根本沒有誰對誰錯。

當然我認為,最理想的配對是兩人都抱著相同的愛情觀:相信細水長流的男人跟相信天長地久的女人走在一起,完美絕配;兩個玩世不恭的男女也可以擦出後現代愛情火花。

最難纏的是,一個認定終生不變,另一個只求一時歡愉。這兩人相遇,注定一方會受傷害,就像片中的男主角。

故事中同一個場所,同一對男女,同一句對白,效果卻可截然不同。今非昔比,最令人傷心。

在戀愛初期,男的對女的每個反應,都顯得過敏,得知女的週末愉快,便無緣無故認定她去了逢場作戲,當朋友問及如果女的說了其他字眼,是否便會認定她是同性戀者,教我哭笑不得。老成持重的小妹說得對,戀愛中的猜疑都是多餘的,為什麼不直接了當弄個明白?

IKEA那一幕,令人難忘。Expectation Vs Reality,反映期望與現實的落差,足以毀掉一個人。

然而,我仍然選擇相信真愛,也相信只有認真的人才會得到。在尋覓真愛的過程中,我們都從不同的人身上學習到不同事情,每一個經歷,都讓我們成長。

Hope you enjoyed the film. I

Hope you enjoyed the film. I love your review. You should write more movie reviews. I would totally read them. Just to share few of my thoughts on the film. I thought it was bittersweet when Summer who didn't believe in marriage or true love found true love. That was something Tom should be thankful for on certain level. Also I enjoyed how the film showed the ups and downs of the relationship. It just felt so familiar. It's funny looking at it from a distance. And how he hasn't lost hope in love/fate at the end of the film was a plus. I guess I just really like the idea that a movie about breakup can still have an happy ending.

Thanks for the recommendation and sharing

Thanks for the recommendation and sharing. I love this film. Yes that the ups and downs are familiar. And when Summer found true love from another person it was kinda bittersweet. Let me add that their final conversation impressed me. What if Summer had gone somewhere else for lunch? What if she had gotten there 10 minutes later? She would have never married to someone who appeared at the right time and place. I also guess it's meant to be. I like the ending as well – there is always Autumn after Summer..
