Bittersweet endings
The common patern between both films is the thematical content: the conflictive relationship that the main characters established, and the unexpected ending. Furthermore, both male characters, Tom Hansen from 500 days of summer and Rett Butler from Gone with the wind suffer their lovers’ rejection and deception. However, their personalities differ: Tom is a very shy and low profile guy, whereas Rett is known for being a womanizer who refuses to maintain a long relationship. Both female figures resemble each other in their beauty and stubbornness. Scarlet O’Hara, magnificently represented by Vivien Leigh, encounters the problem of deciding between the man with whom she’s obsessed (Ashley Wilkes) and the one who really loves her (Rett). Summer Finn, played delightfully and with the exact quantity of ambiguity by the amazing Zoey Deschanel (sister of the famous Emily Deschanel from TV serie Bones) finds it difficult to cope with Tom’s feelings as she doesn’t feel the same. She is unable to set the terms and limits of the relationship clearly.
Gone with the wind differs from 500 days of summer in its antiquity. It is almost a cult-classic film, remembered by anyone who has a reasonable
Whichever you chose, both endings will let you a slight bitter taste on your mouth and you’ll probably start questioning yourself about philosophical issues. However, if you are looking for an entertaining afternoon’s viewing, I recommend you 500 days of summer, that is shorter and unique in its genre.

¿Qué es cocoliche?
Para darle un toque más… “colectivo” si se quiere, le propuse a (por ahora) dos amigas de participar en este proyecto, más como un entretenimiento que como una obligación. Cualquiera que así lo desee puede enviar su reseña, porque hay tantos géneros, tantos autores y directores, que sería más rico si así se hiciera.
Pero no es mi intención que la literatura y el cine sean los únicos elementos aquí presentes. Creo que se puede reseñar cualquier cosa que se experimente: un festival, una visita, un cuadro, un hecho histórico… Veremos qué tan lejos llegamos.
