"Oh-"

The liveliest screening room in 3,351 North American theaters was drowned out by a burst of audience sighs, only to see that in the segmented image on the big screen, Tom on the left was riding the tram with a faint expression, and in the middle of Sammo's wedding on the right, with a bright smile on his face, and the groom with his back to the camera happily hugging, "Oh my God!" A basin of cold water poured down on his head, there was no dramatic marriage robbery, Tom and Sammo were 100% finished! Is this a tragedy? What is Magic Young thinking!

How many high-grossing romantic comedies do not end up together? "My Grand Greek Wedding" is not, "100% Man" is not, "Rival of Love", "Pretty Woman", "I'm Crazy for Mary", ...... Which one is not a happy ending? One is about to be born here.

"What the hell does he want!?" Evelyn and other Yang fans are a little depressed, does Tom want to be trapped in the ninth district like Viggs and die alone? No way, this is a romantic comedy! Wang Yang also said that "everyone is fine", he will never fool the audience.

"Good, good. Jessica smiled and relaxed, Tom and Summer finally got a complete mess, she tossed around for a night, and finally got to watch it in a good mood, what an extraordinary movie-watching experience. "Elaine, Elaine......" Natalie muttered the name of the "Graduate" heroine, who was now Tom.

"Hey, Tom!" whether it's a movie fan, a film critic, or a filmmaker...... As everyone watched the screen quietly, Tom and Summer met in Union Square downtown, a place they used to love to visit, and they sat on a bench on the side of the road and talked.

Shamo was pleasantly surprised to learn of Tom's resignation and was happy to see that he had pulled himself together, but she also found that he was still very unhappy and did not let go of their long-ended relationship.

"Why are you dancing with me?" In the close-up, the audience can see the confusion and anger under Tom's calm expression, when the "he" did not propose to Shamo, but had already entered her life. Sha Mo smiled slightly and said calmly, "Because I want to." ”

Could it be that before Shamo's husband proposed, they also had an unclear "best friend" relationship? Many viewers thought of this possibility, so Shamo could do whatever she wanted.

"You just do what you want, don't you?" said Tom, shrugging his shoulders and laughing, his voice mocking, "You never wanted to be anyone's girlfriend, and now you're someone's wife." Shamo unconsciously expressed happiness: "I was also surprised. Tom smiled, a little bitter and a little amused, and shook his head, "I may never understand." I mean, it doesn't make sense. Shamo smiled, "It just happened." Tom looked at her, "Yes, but that's what I don't understand, what's going on?"

"Tom, I think I used to enjoy our flirtation. Shamo looked up at the clear blue sky, then turned to look at him, and she smiled, "I just woke up, and then I understood." Tom asked, "Got what?" Shamo laughed, "Got it, I'm with you, and I'll never be sure." Tom was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Do you understand what disgusting is?"

Looking at Shamo's calm face, he became a little excited: "When you find out that what you believe is all shit, disgusting!" Shamo asked, "What do you mean?" Tom frowned and said "Hmm! You know, fate, soulmates, true love, all that bullshit fairy tales or something...... You're right, I should have listened to you, these are deceptions, fantasies. …… What are you laughing at?" Shamo smiled and shook her head, "Tom, I think you're wrong, and now you're wrong. ”

"What?" Tom frowned more and more suspiciously, and Shamo recalled in a gentle and brisk tone, "I think...... I was reading "Marley and Me" in the bookstore, and then a guy came up to me and asked me how the book was? And now, he's my husband. It is...... If I hadn't walked into that bookstore, or if I hadn't read the book, or if I had gone to lunch, or if I had been 10 minutes late, I might have missed each other, and that was like ...... It seemed predestined, and then I kept thinking, Tom was right. ”

Tom smiled incredulously, "No, no......" Shamo smiled and nodded, "Really, really." She raised her left hand, showed her ring, and said, "If he didn't talk? If he didn't propose? Tom, think about it, it's like a spaceship, he left me on his planet, and I won't fly to the next planet, we're done." Samo smiled soothingly: "It stops the fate of the two men in the future, unless someone breaks the oath." But you won't stop, and without Shamo, there will be Amy, Kelly...... You know. ”

Her hand pressed Tom's hand, making him feel the power of serene happiness in the ring, feeling her destiny, and smiled: "It's just that person is not me, it's just ......" She paused, and said, "You are wrong about me......"

Suddenly, Tom's face became thoughtful, his eyes froze, and he seemed to realize something.

"What if Tom suddenly proposed?" In front of the big screen, Evelyn and many other viewers came up with this idea, would Shamo agree?" Claire pondered the true face of the film, Tom didn't have the courage, got by, believed her words too much, was too afraid of offending her, believed in fate and had no fear......, "So is it fate or not?" There are also Linda and many other viewers who are very confused, if Tom proposes that Sammo will agree, then what is the destining of her and her husband?

Because Tom didn't keep her. Senior film critics have sorted out the views of the film more clearly, there are things such as fate, soul mate, true love, etc., but fate is only destined to meet, and happiness and beauty need to be actively pursued. Is this the concept of love in "500 Days with Shamo"?

"It's time for me to go, I'm really happy to see you're doing well. Shamo patted Tom on the shoulder, smiled and got up to leave. "Shamo!" As she walked a few meters away, Tom stood up and called out to her, looking at the smiling face that looked back, he blessed him, "I really hope you can be happy." ”

I saw Sha Mo on the big screen smile and turned away, Helen's eyes were slightly moist, as if she had received Wang Yang's sincere blessings, yes, he said very well, very right...... She suddenly loved the movie so much, not only because it was funny, unique, and good-looking, but also because it was worth remembering. "Thank you. Helen took the tissue from her husband beside her, smiled at him and wiped her tears, she leaned gently against his shoulder.

"That's what ...... fun" Natalie finally felt a warm tear in her eyes, seeing this scene reproduced on the screen, not on the set, nor what she felt at that time, she felt very moved, romantic and fun...... It's a pity that the shoulder next to her doesn't belong to her.

"My dear. Jessica leaned on Wang Yang's shoulder, and asked in a gentle voice, "Am I going to play?" The ten fingers of the two hands were clasped together, and Wang Yang smiled: "Yes, the angel is here." Jessica's murmur was close to silence: "I'll tell Keke that although Dad has been in love a few times, he only loves Mom." ”

In fact, neither of them starred or made cameos in the film, and the final female role was played by Rose Byrne, from her joining the crew of "500 Days with Shamo" to filming the only scene on the set, both parties did not make a big fuss, and maintained a low-key mystery according to the plan, and the outside world did not know her role positioning in the film, and the public generally believed that she was Tom's girlfriend and Shamo's best friend, and even almost forgot such a person.

"There are many days of the year that are uneventful, beginning, end, leaving no memories, and most days have little impact on life. ”

The 500th day came on the big screen! The audience was all in high spirits, what would happen on the 500th day? Another encounter of fate? Under the soft and pleasant soundtrack, Tom, dressed in a black suit, walked out of the office building with a smile, carrying a large briefcase and several rolls of drawings, it seemed that the interview had been successful, and the colors of the picture were much brighter and warmer, without the desolation of before.

Seagulls fly freely in the blue sky, and Tom is back on the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge, where he tells Sammer that when the Golden Gate Bridge is covered in fog, it is the most beautiful wonderland in the world, which is one of the reasons why he wanted to be an architect.

The white waves crashed against the beach, there was no one on the soft sand, and as Tom looked at him, the beauty of the sea and the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance entered the screen, and he looked calm, not knowing what to think, and continued to walk forward with his office bag, not noticing that one of the scrolls inserted in it flew out because of the swinging and wind. In the close-up shot, the scattered drawings slowly fall to the sand, only to see the drawings painted with smooth black and white architectural design drawings.

At this time, the design was picked up by a slender hand, and the picture camera rose accordingly, and it turned out to be a sweet-looking young woman, she had long brown shawl hair, and she was dressed casually and pretty, she looked at the drawings in her hand a few times, and shouted as she walked forward, "Hey!

"That's her!" the audience has realized something, both boys and girls, Evelyn, Claire, Adam, Joshua...... Countless people's hearts were nervously lifted, come on, Tom! Look how beautiful she is, don't look like a fool!

Tom, who heard the cry, stopped and turned to look, and the sweet woman who caught up handed him the drawing with a smile: "You lost something." Tom immediately took it and thanked him, "Oh, it's mine, thank you." The woman pointed to the drawing, and then pulled her hair in her ears that was blown by the wind, and smiled: "The painting is great, very beautiful modernist villa." Tom couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Thank you, you seem to be ...... for it" Understand. The woman smiled and nodded: "I also study architectural design, heh! I like modernism very much, I think it would be good to try a sloping roof in its garage...... Excuse me. ”

"No, it doesn't matter. Tom carefully observed the drawings in his hand, but the woman suddenly thought of something: "Have I seen you before?" Tom looked at her suspiciously, "I? The woman rolled her eyes and asked, "Have you ever been to Powell in Union Square?" and Tom was immediately surprised and excited: "Of course, I often take the trolley past Powell Station, which is one of my favorite places." The woman smiled and nodded affirmatively, "Then I've seen you." ”

Tom smiled strangely, "I haven't seen you." The woman pursed her lips and shrugged, "You must be looking at something else." The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds, the audience in front of the big screen held their breath, and the woman suddenly laughed: "Goodbye!"

"If there's one thing Tom has learned, it's that you can't reduce the great cosmic significance to a simple earth event, nothing is predestined, only coincidence, the butterfly effect, everything is like this, nothing else. ”

At the same time as the voice-over sounds, the big screen is divided into two halves again, the close-up on the left, Tom has been looking at her attentively, and the side panoramic shot on the right, the sweet woman steps on the fine sand step by step, when the voice-over ends, back to Tom's back camera, only to see that the woman has walked far, far away.

"Oh my God, what is this?" The hearts of the audience were uncomfortably clenched, Wonder Young, don't play tricks! The screening room suddenly sounded a cheerful and high-pitched soundtrack, Tom grabbed the drawings and briefcase, and started to run forward, the audience's hearts suddenly became excited, and with Tom's running steps, the mood gradually became relaxed, expectant, and excited! Evelyn couldn't help but shout: "RUN!" Kelly also whispered: "RUN!" The others around also shouted: " Tom, RUN!"

"RUN!Tom!RUN!" Theaters across North America resounded with such excited voices, and at the Shoreland Theater, Jessica was nervous and squeezed Wang Yang's hand hard, RUN! Hurry up——!! Natalie, Rachel, Helen...... Everyone was cheering on Tom.

Seeing the sun shining in the long shot, the blue sky and the sea are the same color, and the white waves crashing on the beach, Tom quickly caught up with the sweet woman.

"HEY! The woman who heard the cry stopped, turned around, and was surprised to see Tom, who was panting slightly: "Hey, it's you again." Tom's smile was a little silly, and he raised the drawing in his hand: "Yes, I just wanted to say ...... I also like the modernist style......"

"Hahaha!" The screening hall suddenly burst into laughter from the audience, full of happy laughter!" Hehe, you can see it. The woman glanced at the drawings, rolled her eyes up playfully, and asked with a smile, "That's what you're here to say?" Tom smirked and nodded, "Yes, yes." He smiled and said, "I think your proposal is good...... and he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Maybe, can we go together for a cup of coffee, tea or something?"

The woman was stunned: "Oh, I'm sorry, I think I'll make an appointment later......" Tom nodded calmly, seeing that he was about to turn away, the woman who thought about it suddenly laughed and shouted to him: "Okay! OK, why not?" The screening room sounded a cheer of "YES", Tom smiled happily, and stretched out his left hand holding the drawing a little silly: "My name is Tom." The woman smiled and clenched his fist as well as the drawings: "Nice to meet you, my name is Autumn." ”

Hearing her name, Tom glanced at the camera with a speculative look, and the two talked to each other as they walked towards the Golden Gate Bridge amid the sound of pleasant and soft music. The big screen then turns into a hand-drawn architectural drawing representing the number of days, and with a bang, it changes from "500th day" to "1st day", with a radiant sun leaping into the sky, seagulls flying, trees blooming, and two happy bluebirds jumping on the branches.

Critics found themselves unable to help but give a thumbs up, this is the perfect romantic comedy!

Stephanie Zashak of "Salon" magazine was full of admiration and applauded hard from the bottom of her heart, 100 points! Regardless of the frontal close-up or side distance, that set of Tom's running shots released the audience's depression, the beautiful scenery and the meaning of his action to actively pursue happiness itself, more like sunshine through the heart, making people feel so warm and happy.

But far more than that, the whole ending scene is full of metaphors, Tom didn't see her before because he only had Shamo in his eyes, but in fact, there are many "Shamo" in this world.

Autumn says "You lost something" naturally refers to the architectural drawing, and it represents Tom's ideal, belief, and pursuit of love, his life, his love...... And all the positive emotional attitudes, which were now all picked up by her and given back to him. Autumn compliments and understands his drawings, but the difference is that she puts forward her own opinions, and Tom readily accepts them.

This time he will not paint the blueprint alone, but it will be a picture painted by the two of them, just as when they shook hands and met, the blueprint of love should be discussed and constructed together by two people, rather than one person or idealized or playing dumb riddles.

Throughout the film, the concept of love it wants to tell stands up with texture all of a sudden, love is not a fantasy, whether you believe it or not, it will exist, and it will find you at any time, but you need to take the initiative to find it, because nothing in the world is destined, in the face of the coincidence arranged by God, the next development track of things only depends on that moment of thought, a moment of decision, and then the whole world is changed, everything is like this, it just depends on how you choose.

"I love this movie!!", "Whoo, it's amazing!", "Classic!!", ...... Before the end of the credits rolled, the audience couldn't wait to applaud, and thunderous applause and cheers resounded through the Shoreline Theater and resounded throughout North America.
