Double takes
People watching summer
Summers personality challenges her femininity giving her more power than Tom in the film as he is more feminine due to his belief in love (fairytale). The audience therefore align with the male because we feel sympathy towards him.
Summer doesn't give much emotion.- hard to relate to or align with.
She says - she doesn't want a boyfriend
Or to be anyone's "anything"
"Save the serious stuff for later"
Repeats she doesn't want anything serious and yet we still feel bad when Tom is upset.
By taking a submissive view we would not feel this way.
The film switches past and present, by showing his last memory of summer joking with him it's harder to understand where it went wrong however it does also show the more present time in which she is shown not being happy.
( IKEA- shows him joking and her bored
Then in the past of them joking before )
Male celebration of having sex with summer- how does she feel
Doesn't want anyone sticking up for her but Tom hits a man. Whether this was to protect summer or out of his own embarrassment.
"Our rooftop" tells him but he sees what he wants to see.
