Remember (500) Days of Summer? It was a charming little non-linear film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.
The movie tells the story of the relationship between Tom and Summer — and *spoiler alert* Summer is ultimately just not that into Tom and ends up getting married to another man.
Some fans of the movie blame Summer for what transpires between them during those 500 days...
Still haven’t forgiven Zooey Deschanel for what she did to Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer.
500 days of summer was amazing, although never have I thought I would hate Zooey Deschanel.
...while others (yes, myself included) strongly believe that Tom was in the wrong and Summer repeatedly tried to be honest about her feelings and he never picked up on the cues:
zooey deschanel in 500 days of summer is actually the most relatable character to me: is upfront and honest with a boy about what how she doesn't see herself committing to him but he ignores all her boundaries and projects fantasies on her regardless of her words
SUMMER IN 500 DAYS OF SUMMER WAS HONEST AND UPFRONT ABOUT HER INTENTIONS FROM THE BEGINNING AND JGL CHOSE TO IGNORE HER AND PURSUE A RELATIONSHIP ANYWAY AND DEMONIZED HER FOR IT IN THIS ESSAY I WILL
Well, Joseph Gordon-Levitt decided to weigh in on the whole thing on Twitter yesterday, and he's definitely Team Summer:
Watch it again. It’s mostly Tom’s fault. He’s projecting. He’s not listening. He’s selfish. Luckily he grows by the end. https://t.co/lEJ8uXlpJw
In fact, this isn't the first time he's spoken out about Tom's selfish behavior — here's what he had to say in a 2012 interview with Playboy:

To summarize: Tom was bad. Joseph Gordon-Levitt knows it. And the "Expectations vs. Reality" scene is one of the best movie scenes ever. Those are just the facts, ma'am!!!!
