It was completely unexpected that what accompanied me for so long turned out to be a warm film, not an inspirational film, nor those trilogy.
I thought that the impression of girls in my life was limited to ordinary people and limited opinions, until the appearance of the Red Riding Hood girl, condensing all the good things about the opposite sex from childhood to adulthood, and the smile in the last scene when I turned around and looked back, I don’t know. Melted my heart so many times. At this moment, the only thing that came to my mind was this sentence: "I searched for her thousands of times in the crowd, and when I look back, that person is in the dim light."
Every scene is a portrayal of life, and the fragments are real and tender. pulse. The setbacks in our career at the beginning and the double blow of the death of our father are all things we will encounter sooner or later, but not all at the same time. In our life, there is no shortage of blows and changes. However, what really constitutes life itself should be these fragments. The things and feelings that happen to us every moment are the life itself that cannot be avoided.
Since high school, this warm film has accompanied me through many low moments. At that time, I didn't know the Elf Prince, and Dunst still had the impression of being in Spider-Man. However, it is such an actor. The unfamiliar film with a single storyline is the passionate Kentucky, those road songs, and those pale yellow tones, with a slightly noisy life atmosphere, which pulled out my inner soul and made me melt alive. 2 hours.
The story is very simple. Drew, who suffered a downturn in his career, worked overtime to create a sneaker that cost the company $1 billion. The house leaked because of the overnight rain. Father Mickey, who was on vacation in his hometown of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, had an unfortunate heart. Having passed away from an illness, Drew decided to delay his decision to commit suicide until after his father's funeral, in order to support the family during this period. Lost in the east and harvested mulberry, on the trip to Elizabethtown to arrange a funeral, I met the beautiful and playful flight attendant Claire, and then started a series of colorful episodes. The final climax is at the funeral scene. The mother's speech and tap dance, the passionate performance of free bird, and the out-of-control firebird push the whole movie to a climax, wave after wave. The final road trip was like a gurgling river, slowly merging into the sea. Every drum beat is in sync with the rhythm of the heart, whether it is the protagonist or our audience.
Drama is like life, I like it like this, making life so real, I enjoy the authenticity of every minute and every second, every soundtrack, every story, every lovely person, with a small The freckled but playful Claire is like an angel who came to us, bringing light and heat, warmth and vitality to every frustrated person. This is the day, the life we ​​should live, and the life partner we are looking for. May everyone find such a spirit.
