(500) Days of Summer Songs
Love is not only in the air for wizards this summer. Indie-rock-lovers may also find themselves falling for the amazing soundtrack in the postmodern romance film (500) Days of Summer. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom, a romantic who finds himself falling for the titular Summer (Zooey Deschanel) over a soundtrack of indie music. The movie covers the 500 days of their turbulent relationship.
Tom falls in love with Summer at first sight, but them sharing musical interests is what really seals the deal for him. Summer is his indie darling, who sings Nancy Sinatra's "Sugar Town" at an office karaoke party, and he's not going to let a little thing like her not loving him get in the way of their fate together. Music obviously plays a huge role in their relationship. Co-writer Scott Neustadter says "There's always a soundtrack to any relationship. When you're falling in or falling out of love...you listen to a lot of music."
The film features the likes of Regina Spektor, The Smiths, Feist, She & Him (Deschanel's duo with M.Ward), and even French first lady Carla Bruni. The film, a described "pop song in movie form," is obviously a must-see for fans of both indie music and quirky relationships.
