Their relationship, especially in the beginning, is a Hollywood flavor of love, but certainly not a realistic one. But personally, the movie was really weighed down by having too many scenes that represented a heavily idealized/rose-tinted characterization of love, which simply doesn't occur in real life. It's certainly entertaining and clever at some points, such as the expectations vs. Well I don't know if it cold be really characterized as realistic. We knew from the start that this film wasn't going to try and satisfy our desire to see these two attractive and quirky people find each other, but rather show us how they failed to do so. If you don't think it is healthy, then fine, but you shouldn't derive your sense of closure from the film by how it conforms to your understanding of the characters, when it's layed out clearly in the beginning that this isn't going to be that sort of movie. But his character ark can't be beholden to the inherently subjective opinions of the viewers, since not everyone will have the same opinion, which is the entire point. As such, a good portion of the film is spent establishing Tom as someone who is emotionally reliant on others, and it doesn't take a position on that, it just depicts him the way he is, and let's you decide if that's healthy. A sort of relationship study if you will. The film is almost a character study, but rather than focusing on a specific character its focus is on the interactions between two characters. If Tom had discovered at the ending that he doesn't need someone else to be happy, than that would defeat the entire purpose. It doesn't have a happy ending or a sad ending, it just has an ending, and that objectivity, the movies refusal to take sides, but instead just depict the events as they happened and let the viewer decide where, if anywhere, their sympathies lie-which to me is what makes the movie-relies on a certain amount of ambiguity. The introduction lays this out very clearly. In seriousness though, this film isn't meant to have a message like that, it's just meant to depict a realistic relationship in an entertaining way. So what you're really saying is, you want to see Joseph Gordon Levit jacking it? I also read that they believe the final bench scene between Tom and Summer never happened, that Tom was alone on the bench imagining the entire thing in his head, and that was his coming to terms with the end of the relationship.Īs far as the ending goes, it's already been stated in this thread that it's there for both Tom to accept that there will always be another girl at some point. But Marc Webb, JGL, and the writers have all stated that they think Summer is the victim of Tom's bullshit. That's why Tom seems like the hero and Summer the villain: obviously Tom is going to see it that way. ![]() He's remembering it at different points in time, and his perception of those events are slightly altered. Everything we as viewers witness is displayed with the bias of Tom's memories, which is why we see the sequence of three separate times and it's always slightly different. I think what a lot of people don't seem to get-and this was stated in the director/writers' commentary-is that the events of the film are entirely subjective i.e.
