I love that movie. But he isn't a fan of Woody Allen. I keep telling him it's the one movie of his to watch. I almost have him convinced.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994874361156735817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603813505257228291.post-75991540497080705512010-10-25T15:48:45.940-04:002010-10-25T15:48:45.940-04:00I don't think *all* of the pop culture referen...I don't think *all* of the pop culture references will be totally lost on them. I hope the next generation learns to love The Smiths! But it probably will date the film quite a bit. I was also reminded of Wayne's World when watching (500) Days of Summer. Wayne's World's many pop culture references are very dated, but it's still incredibly entertaining! And the way Wayne's World plays with POV and cribs from other genres is very similar. You're absolutely correct that the thing that will make this film speak to other generations is the timeless story of boy-meets-girl-boy-loses-girl. It's fascinating to see how every generation tells the same story in very different ways. Casablanca, Annie Hall, Gone with the Wind, etc. etc.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168685310982010452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603813505257228291.post-67831035525836219432010-10-24T17:36:22.303-04:002010-10-24T17:36:22.303-04:00I love 500 Days of Summer. And I think your point ...I love 500 Days of Summer. And I think your point of view is quite interesting. I know that the new generation (Generation me) loves the film. Will the generation after enjoy it as much is debatable to me. I completely agree all the pop culture references will be lost on them. And they are so important to the film that they won't enjoy it. BUT the film has such an original style of filming and the storyline without the culture references is obtainable to anyone whose every had a breakup, especially a one-sided one. OK it probably will be lost on the next generation or two. Then when history repeats it self and that generation that tries to replicate the current one it (I think) will favorite 500 Days of Summer. I just hope film critics continually approve of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994874361156735817noreply@blogger.com
