I said the exact same thing on page two. Glad someone agrees with me though.

God (500) Days of Summer is a horrible film. I hate even being reminded of how intensely precious it found itself. From the completely superfluous parenthetical title to that awful last shot, I cannot remember hating the tone and voice of a movie in the last 5 years as much as this one.

I always get caught by Melora Walters' smile at the very end of PT Anderson's Magnolia. It's like with everything that has happened during the film, there is that final shot of the film of her smile which gives the ending a sort of hopeful/happy tone. I get a "bad things are going to happen, but it isn't the end of the world" vibe.
