An Excerpt From 500 DAYS OF SUMMER (2009) Screenplay

An excerpt from 500 DAYS OF SUMMER (2009) Screenplay

      This movie is very playful with the graphic effects. Of course it ties into Tom’s imagination and point of view, but the descriptions here on the page are so characteristic of the narrator. I love a screenplay that reads more than an operation.

In depth numerology.

[name] = 16

      One vibrates to the frequency of the Sun, ruling the 5th house through the Crown. Six vibrates to Venus, ruling the 7th house through the Heart. They regulate the law of Attraction and the law of Relativity, respectively. 

      This number to me represents personal confidence, through virtue of humility and forgiveness. Which you can’t experience unless you can be intentional with your desires.

[name] = 49

      Four vibrates to the frequency of Uranus, ruling the 1st house through the Crown, as well as the 11th through the High Heart. It regulates the law of Action and the law of Rhythm. While the number nine vibrates to Mars, ruling the 8th house through the Solar Plexus. It regulates the law of Perpetual Transmutation.

      This number to me represents rapid growth, an especially revitalizing character transformation, through virtue of humility and charity. Which you can’t experience unless you identify yourself within a meaningful cause.

Excerpt from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) screenplay

      The point of this scene is legitimately to portray Joel’s confusion. But I caught on to the parallel of Rob’s birdhouse, as foresight into Joel’s memory of killing a bird. Surrounded by the context of Clementine erasing Joel, it reads as though the bird symbolizes Joel’s innocence. While the birdhouse would be what he needed from his relationship to Clementine... In a very Jungian sense.

      In Nayeon’s case, her placement of the Sun in Virgo highlights self-awareness as the method of progress into wholeness. The Violet aura resonates within abilities of the Crown chakra, which rules Aries energy. In Nayeon’s chart: the Moon is placed in Leo, which reveals the nature of insight that is being absorbed.

      This energy leak takes away from the quality of her intuition, which is a vital source of her personal strength. She’s meant to grow into her emotional guidance and allow that to serve as reference within the relationships that matter to her most. However, her ability to identify what people want can feed into the compulsion to please others– by maintaining a certain image. If she could develop her level of insight, she would realize harmony between the contents of her desires and the types of people she deeply connects with.

I designed this birth chart style to visualize the energy of the chakra system which corresponds to their ruling planet.

scott pilgrim vs the chakras!

i strung up a theory based within my personal understanding of the chakra system, because i found it was inconspicuously interpreted through the caricatures in this story. though i considered the movie more heavily, i pretty much merged the content of the storyline together with that of the comics so that i could draw out more tangible context.

the basis of this theory is mainly found in highlighting ramona’s exes to mirror characteristics of the chakras. i also analyze scott’s exes to round it off, further centering our main couple.

Lucas Lee: the Sacral Blocked by Sloth 

the skate-boarder turned movie-star shares a pretty uneventful past with ramona flowers. “sitting on the curb smoking” was the only thing flowers could recall about their relationship. but considering that she was pressured by his persistence, its clear that his energy as her partner didn’t live up to those stalker motivations at all. lee’s newfound popularity only managed to reinforce that one-sided infatuation. even though he has managed to build a career as an action movie-star, he is surrounded by doubles who do all his stunts. this signals to his weak identity and lack of inspiration. of course he’s defeated by a skateboarding dare because his sin of sloth blocked him from following through with his passions!
