this is a story of boy meets girl. the boy, tom hansen, of margate, new jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. this belief stemmed from early exposure to sad british pop music and a total misreading of the movie 'the graduate'. the girl, summer finn, of shinnecock, michigan, did not share this belief. since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. the first was her long dark hair. the second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. tom meets summer on january 8th. he knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. this is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.
-500 days of summer
when i think of love, i think of cheesy, redundant chick flicks with identical story lines. boy meets girl, boy/girl falls in "love," boy/girl meets an obstacle, boy/girl overcomes the obstacle, boy and girl get together, boy and girl live happily ever after, the end.
personally, i'm kind of sick of happy endings. i'm sick of wasting 2 hours of my life watching people meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after.
i want a realistic story of boy meets girl.
