I watched the movie 500 Days of Summer yesterday and was fascinated by the series of scenes shown below.
Tom Hansen, the main character in the movie, was invited by Summer Finn (the girl he was interested in) to her apartment. He was really hoping that they would get back together. The movie showed two scenes side by side with the labels EXPECTATION and REALITY. Naturally his expectations were that she would be thrilled to see him, give him a passionate kiss, stay with him all throughout the evening, etc. Yet the reality was that she was civil when they saw each other, he was left to drink by himself while she entertained other visitors, up to the point where only the REALITY scene remained and it was Summer showing off her engagement ring to a friend.
Tom ran out of the apartment and ended up in the middle of the street. The scene transforms to a sketch then it is rubbed out. (Yes, I still dream of being able to draw.)
(P.S. These screen shots cost me fifteen kisses. RD initially asked for ten but when I asked for a third screenshot, he demanded the extra five.)
