This post modern love story is never what we expect it to be -- it's thorny yet exhilarating, funny and sad, a twisted journey of highs and lows that doesn't quite go where we think it will. When Tom (Gordon-Levitt), a hapless greeting card copywriter and hopeless romantic, is blindsided after his girlfriend Summer (Zooey Deschanel) dumps him, he shifts back and forth through various periods of their 500 days "together" to try to figure out where things went wrong. His reflections ultimately lead him to finally rediscover his true passions in life.

SPIRITUAL POINT OF VIEW
Visual Review

This film tackles directly certain topics that other romantic comedies seem to only hint around about.
Questions like:
--Is there really such a thing as ‘the one?’
--And, if there is, what happens if you lose her?
--What do you do now?
--Can you still believe in love?
--Do your beliefs about love change?

"Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT

“We look at each other wondering what the other is thinking but we never say a thing.”
-- Dave Matthews Band
