movies confuse me...

I saw 500 Days of Summer tonight. I was very excited to see it, it looked like a wonderful romantic comedy; a little quirky but still lovely.
SPOILER AGAIN.... sorry but i gotta talk it out!

The entire movie spent the entire time trying to prove that 2 people were meant to be together; destined to be their one and only and that through it all they would work out. They would be their lobsters, their penguins, their person.

Then there was the bait'n'switch - the heart break - saying that nothing is fate and that you can't really believe in all this 'love' nonsense! The main character was really believing that for a while... until the last scene when he meets someone new and she says one thing to him that makes him go back to believing in fate - and we are left to imagine that the two of them spent a lifetime of happiness together. All of this tied up in the cheesiest last line of a movie ever, ugh. Of course the new girl he met was named Autumn! Of course! Boo.

Well - movie makers... which is it? Believe in Destiny or Love is for Suckers? You made a valid point for each of them. For anyone out there who is teetering on the edge of right and wrong here - this movie did nothing to help a girl out. On one hand it validated every small thing we have ever thought was 'fate' that meant you were supposed to be with someone... on the other hand, it also told you: you silly girl, coincidence, that is all, quit harping on it.

That's a lot of back and forth in the head - it's like a ping pong table in there. Oy.
