(500) Day of Summer
|
|
|
| In the scene where Tom first enters Summer's apartment, the camera focuses on a bowler hat with a green apple on top of it. This is a reference to the famous painting "The Son of Man" by René Magritte who is said earlier in the film to be one of Summer's famous painters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The cover of Morrissey's debut album, Viva Hate, can be seen in both Tom and Summer's childhood rooms. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The film is set in 2006-2007. (The narrator says at the end of the film that May 23 was a Wednesday. The last time May 23 was a Wednesday was 2007.) |

|
| The film's blue-centric color scheme was done to bring out Zooey Deschanel's eyes. |

| So I cylce through 127 reviews to find it wasn't just me, looks like b grade flicks are still being made no story, lots of fighting blood and gore, if you DVD player gets stuck on the first fight scene you would never know, be weary as you can see some love it and quite a few don't. |
