500 days of summer (2009)

About this movie: a girl named Summer comes as a secretary to a greeting card company in Los Angeles, where Tom works.  Two of them date, Tom falls in love, but Summer doesn't.  What happens in a relationship when two people dream different dreams?

I liked one of the last conversations Tom and Summer had:
  Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
  Tom: Knew what?
  Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

I wonder if Tom was always sure of with Summer.  Perhaps he was.  But one-side relationship ultimately fails, no matter how precious it is for you.  And when the end comes, you'd say "She left.  Just like that.  I don't understand."  This is the time when you need friends who can put you back into reality, but gently and slowly.

I think I'm ready to be Summer this time.
