Valentine's - (500) Days of Summer
Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 10:00PM We're celebrating Valentine's Day this week with odes to some of our favorite romantic movie moments. First, here's Murtada on the musical number in (500) Days of Summer.
The first time with the person you love. It's all what you’ve dreamed it would be. The next morning you wake up giddy, but …what to do. Why of course dance to Hall and Oates' "You Make My Dreams Come True" on your way to work, with the whole world as your own chorus, marching band and fan mob rolled into one. That’s what happens to Tom (Joseph Gordon Levitt) after Summer (Zooey Deschanel) rocks his world.
What a show-off! Maybe even a braggart. Gordon Levitt gets congratulated by everyone he passes and literally scores a goal. Yet somehow it’s not off putting but utterly charming. Part of that is due to the character and the performance. Most of the appeal though is because we’ve all wanted to share our exuberance with the whole world after a particularly lovey dovey moment. Or you know right after the first time with a new love.
The scene becomes a delightful expression of the exhilaration of love. Blending dancing, animation and cultural refrences (Hello Han Solo!), it also comes at exactly the right time in the story, elevating the stakes and making - spoiler alert - the eventual heartbreak even more painful.
Happy Valentine’s
What are some of your favorite romantic musical numbers? And do you forgive (500) Days of Summer for bringing Chloe Grace Moretz into our lives?

This scene brought such a big smile to my face. The whole movie is worth watching just for this scene.
I'm gonna pretend that last sentence didn't happen, but oooh I love this movie and this moment in it!
Elephant Love Medley and Come What May from Moulin Rouge! are at the top of my list.
It says a lot about how bad this movie is that bringing Chloe Grace Moretz isn't even the worst thing.
I hate this movie with the passion of a thousand fiery suns.
Sorry , I like it :-)
I was never quite as high on this movie as everyone else - I liked but didn't ZOMGLOVE it - but this scene is perfect in every way.
Thanks for shining a light on one of my all-time favorite musical moments from the movies. A similar and even more expansive expression of this kind of "the world joins in" romantic exuberance is "That's How You Know" from "Enchanted" with Amy Adams and an amusingly resistant Patrick Dempsey joined by a Central Park full of revelers.
Like an ex-lover, I was all about this movie when I first saw it and now hope to never get a "Hello, it's me" call from it again.
However, this moment is still so fun.
I'm with the naysayers on this one: I like this little scene - it's very cute - but the rest: ugh. (And Zooey Deschanel - double ugh). We groaned at the end (spoiler) when he meets a new girl, naturally named *Autumn*. (gag)
I love this film, and I have seen it multiple times. I haven't seen it in a few years, though, so I'm curious whether being in a relationship at the time it was released colored my thoughts on it.
I love it too! On of the most original films of the last decade, and a very mature look at relationships, even if it treats the central one lightly.
i wish I understood what motivated Summer to be so mean blissfully ignorant about hurting such a nice guy.
Sorry , I really like it :-)
