500 DAYS OF SUMMER FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
500 Days of Summer is an acclaimed romantic comedy-drama film that was released in 2009. Directed by Marc Webb, this film stands out for its unique narrative structure that presents a non-linear exploration of a relationship, offering viewers a refreshing take on the romantic genre. The film stars Zooey Deschanel as the enchanting and complex character Summer Finn, alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays the love-struck Tom Hansen.
The story is told through a series of vignettes that span the 500 days of Tom and Summer's relationship. It masterfully juxtaposes moments of joy and heartache, illustrating the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies love. One of the film's hallmark features is its use of music, with a soundtrack that perfectly captures the essence of the characters' experiences. Notable songs from the film include tracks from artists such as The Smiths, Cold War Kids, and Feist, enhancing the emotional depth of critical scenes.
Zooey Deschanel's performance is particularly noteworthy, as she brings an infectious charm and nuanced vulnerability to the role of Summer. Her character is portrayed as an independent and free-spirited individual, challenging conventional expectations of romance. This characterization leads to various interpretations of Summer's intentions—whether she represents a fleeting muse or a more profound partner in Tom's life. The film adeptly explores this ambiguity, leaving audiences to ponder the complexity of love and relationships.
Moreover, 500 Days of Summer stands out for its stylistic elements. The film employs vibrant cinematography and inventive editing techniques, reflecting the highs and lows of Tom's emotional state. The use of animated sequences and split-screen imagery adds layers to the storytelling, making the viewing experience visually engaging and thought-provoking.
As we consider the film for appreciation, it’s essential to note its critical reception. 500 Days of Summer garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, earning a spot as a contemporary classic in the romance genre. It has been lauded for its realistic portrayal of love, particularly through its departure from traditional romantic tropes. The film's tagline, "This is not a love story. This is a story about love." succinctly encapsulates its theme.

Critical Acclaim:
High ratings on popular review platforms
Positive audience reception

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
