Zooey Deschanel says she discussed her character in '500 Days of Summer' with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and how people are pissed about it
"I got a lot of like hate... A lot of people were like, 'Fuck you, Summer.'”
"the original film was strictly from Tom's narcissistic perspective.
“It was really weird. People were pissed that Summer didn't want to go out with Tom forever.
“We always thought it was unfairly in Tom's point of view...
“There's a part in the movie... where she starts telling him something that's really important to her... her voice trails out and it's replaced by his narrator going, 'And I was the one she wanted to tell it to.'”
“He's listening to his own narrator; he's not listening to her. He's not even interested in what's in her heart; he's interested in the fact that she chose him to tell it to.”
