The Adjustment Bureau

I know I know this movie came out a few months ago, but I couldn't help myself to post something about this great film. The Adjustment Bureau is about a man, Matt Damo, who falls in love with a ballerina, Emily Blunt, but they were never meant to be together. This film reminded me a lot of Inception, the whole psychological theme, destiny, in and out of places through doors, but what Inception lacked was fashion. The Adjustment Bureau, the bad guys, looked as if they just come out of a Brooks Brothers ad campaing, so preppy, elegant, sharp, 1950s inspired suits and fedoras.

500 Days of Summer

One of my favorite films of all time, 500 Days of Summer, it is such a perfect film, drama, love, broken hearts, comedy, art, fashion, music, architecture, literature references, pop culture references, quirky. What I love most about this movie, it's that it is not the typical, romantic comedy about the girl with a guy that doesn't want to commit, with the funny girlfriends, typical dialogue about relationships and sex, this film is different, awkward, filmed in an artistic way.

I fell in love with Tom and Summer, and with Joseph and Zooey, but also with Summer's clothes, bags, shoes, bows, apartment. I loved how the director emphasized Zooey's blue eyes throught the whole movie, the color light blue is in her apartment, her clothes, the dance sequence, everywhere in the film there's blue. Summer's style was inspired by the 1960s quirky style, preppy, girlie, vintage inspired, 1950s ladylike, sweet dresses.
