I didn’t see the end of 500 Days of Summer. Is that a blasphemous thing to say on this website? Just hear me out and let me redeem myself and live up to my e-mail address name. Its because I didn’t want the “Summer” to end. Like Brick, 500 Days of Summer had a “Helenium Autumnale” feel. This phrase means a “star in late summer.” 500 Days of Summer had the feeling of an untimely bloom before the first frost of winter; an overall sense of tragedy and doom, of the ill-fated love affair between skew lines. Two ships passing in the night who exchange glances but are never really meant to intersect or meet. I don’t know about anyone else’s opinion, but like Brick, Joseph Gordon-Levitt seems to perform with an overall pall of sadness about his features, a sublime “melancholia,” that is reminiscent of renaissancial paintings of the doomed and martyred saints that have preceeded us into the hereafter. There is definitely an otherworldliness, a preternaturality about his pallid complexion and striking good looks that make him quite the dour gothic romantic icon. I truly look forward to Inception. I am sure I will not be disappointed.

Completely Fell for Joseph in this film. He plays his character so well. I must have watched it about 6-7 times already. Of course, its not true as Zooey would never let him slip through her fingers like that. On the other hand, first line experience when it comes to being ‘not that interested’ suggests that if her heart wasnt in it, she should run.
I am completely and utterly in love with this guy.
