More than broken, he is alone
(start playing: "Regina Spektor -Hero") Summer invites Tom to a party at her apartment. He expects to reconcile with Summer at the party, but sees that she is wearing an engagement ring. He becomes even more depressed, only leaving his apartment for alcohol and junk food. After quitting the greeting card company while with a hangover. Tom decides to return to his original field and applies for architecture jobs.
I've watched 500 days of summer countless of times, it's been almost a year.
The narrator told us upfront that it wasn't a love story. This is a story that tells us what went wrong. Why it isn’t meant to be. It tells us the harsh reality that love always comes with this side-effect: pain. Yes, it is supposed to hurt. Because while love is always perfect, relationships are and will always be flawed.
