500 Days of Summer, and The One

"The girl of my dreams... has.. you know....big boobs...and like sports better, and be a little hotter..and has a slightly different hairstyle... but Robin.. she's better than the girl of my dreams.. she's real.."

- Paul, 500 days of Summer

*A pretty funny movie - granted it's romantic comedy - where the main character is an architect wannabe that wants to be an architect... and the movie portrays quite well someone who is fascinated with buildings hahaha.. I think that is reason enough to watch it!*

And below, a short excerpt of the interview with the director:

Cinematical: There's a terrific scene in the film where a character says, "just because someone likes the same thing that another person likes, it doesn't mean that they're your soul mate." For you, what is it that you think these two people really share or what connects them that either the audience will recognize, or at least Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character responds so strongly to?

Webb: Well, I think that they're both young, they're both single, they're in this work environment where they spend a lot of time with each other, and when you mix that together and they're both attractive people, what else is going to happen? Romance grows from that, from proximity, and he may construe these things as destiny or fate or whatever, but the truth is, I suppose, that it's not uncommon for people to have similar interests, and how much you weigh that is really up to you. My feeling is that Tom reads too much into it.

The movie plays with the concept of "The One".. Something that I'm still pretty sure I don't believe in..  Maybe "The One" doesn't mean your soulmate, someone destined to be with you, not even someone that has so many similar interests with you.. "The One" just means someone you really really really want... you want them so much you can't see anyone else beside them, and that's when they become "The One".... Haaaa.... I'm still pretty good at being pseudo-profound, after all hahahaha....
