There are joys and sorrows, the whole of life

Just finished watching it yesterday. Generally, I am not very interested in the story of handsome guy + beauty + HollyWood.
ElizabethTown, there are many things involved, that is, it can't be said to be a comedy or a tragedy, someone died but the person who sent him was not very sad, they chose to be calm; it can't be said to be a romantic drama, and Cause's family love occupies a large level; it can't be said to be perfect , when it is about to become perfect, there will always be unbeautiful things; it is not very realistic, just the last ten minutes of the film is a bit deliberate. (However, I really appreciate this kind of deliberateness.) After
saying so many things without conclusion, it sounds very poor, but in fact life is like this, repeating it over and over again, there are joys and sorrows, love and family, and imperfections , There is reality and romance... In my opinion, in the imperfect real life, the story in ElizabethTown is the most perfect.
Suitable for the crowd: People who like sketches of life, this film is a bit enlightening. Although it is a well-known truth, it is not good to emphasize it. If you attach great importance to that kind of frustration, and finally try to "revenge" through your own efforts, that is, the so-called protagonist can breathe out, then maybe it is not suitable for you, at least the movie is not obliged to tell you this, but in general, can still feel it. (It's a bit of a taboo, because it involves plot notification, which is a topic I avoid)


ps: Because this film is not well-known, it's still quite difficult to decide whether to watch it or not, so there are more introductions. The film critics are also mixed, but don't worry about it so much, it's really annoying to see too many film reviews. The quality of a movie cannot be judged by the so-called "professionals". The most important factor for a good movie is whether it can cut into your own point. To put it bluntly, you are still yourself.

Elizabethtown quotes

  • Drew Baylor: I see you right there. I see you right there.

    Claire Colburn: There you are.

  • Drew Baylor: You know, there is nothing greater than deciding in your life that things maybe really are black and white! And this guy Ben, who clearly takes you for granted, who serially takes advantage of you, is bad! And what I'm saying is good! See what I mean? You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody. This guy should be right here, right now, doing this
