from way in the bbs: 500 days of summer definitely has to use the non-linear storytelling gimmick

Posted by 500 dugs of summer (aka chris) Jul 27 '09, 20:33

because there really isn't a "story" there in the dramatic sense. it's all episodic stuff about tom and summer's relationship that wouldn't have been nearly as interesting played out start to finish

especially those scenes where we get the great "before" and "after" reaction shots from JGL when something so good goes so bad

Responses:

Agreed. Presented in a linear fashion, it'd be much less interesting. (nm) - musubi Jul 27, 20:39 4

    - if you're hoping for some hotkiss-like pursuit in the face of all signs to the contrary, you will be sorely disappointed -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 20:56 1
