(500) Days of Summer/Tear Jerker


Tear Jerkers in (500) Days of Summer include:

  • They don't end up together. That's a given. However, we find out near the end that Summer's gotten married to somebody else. This revelation is shown in split-screen: half of the screen shows what Tom imagined happening at a party and the other half shows what actually happens. At the end of the scene he runs out of the party and into the street, and watches as the world turns into a line drawing and then is erased into blankness. Because we only see the movie from Tom's point of view we have no idea how long Summer had been seeing her husband or why she didn't love Tom the way Tom loved her.
  • The difference between the numbers for the days of the break up and the engagement party was that of only several months.
