The director did a very reasonable and in place at every node of the movie. As a spectator, my mood also fluctuated as the story deepened. When God closes one window, he opens another door. Thanks for the motto of Mitch, whose body is dead, but his soul never fades. This is the greatest asset he left to his wife and children, and the necessary strength to get Drew out of his deep grief. The desperate protagonist stepped on the plane to Elizabethtown to pick up his father with a deep apology to his father, and meeting Claire was the door that God opened for him. On the plane, Claire's enthusiasm, beauty, and generosity even touched his cold heart, and the fate of this sad child also took a turn for the better.
The real twist comes from the power drawn from the mother at the memorial service. The death of his father, the one who was hurt the most was the wife of 27 years. At the memorial service, she was not cowardly, emotional, or sobbing as she imagined. After her father died, she didn't even give herself time to be sad: to learn about her husband's car, learn to cook, learn to tap dance, etc., she went to a better life to be a better version of herself. At the memorial service, he sang affectionately his husband's favorite song during his lifetime, and danced the newly-learned tap dance solo. It was so beautiful that people forgot that this was a memorial service, and moved all the relatives and friends in the audience. "It's easy to grieve because that's surrender" God gave the test, and the mother and sister didn't surrender. At the memorial service, the cousin's "Bird of Freedom" was very good: he just went on a long trip, for the beauty of this world. . .
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be nurtured but the parent is not there. In the film: We agreed to see the beauty of the world together, but you left quietly. Now, I will take your ashes and scatter you to the corners of the world to watch you fly freely like a bird. This is a very sad tone, designed to educate us not to give up the opportunity to be reunited with our parents and relatives and friends for any reason in our future work and life. In order to alleviate this sad mood, the director arranged a soothing and heart-warming plot as a foreshadowing. If it weren't for Claire's heart-warming map and carefully prepared music, this trip with my father would have been unbearable. The whole journey was enjoyable, and the soothing musically intense journey eased Drew's tense heartstrings and gave him time and opportunity to reflect. After this journey, Drew finally dared to face his failure. "You have 5 minutes to immerse yourself in grief, then you go to enjoy it, embrace it, and then let it go. Life is like this, and those who dare to take risks win. Opportunity. Life is so beautiful, why bother paying for a failure?
Life is beautiful, and there are surprises everywhere. Don’t just follow the same rules, and don’t be stunned when you fail. If you change your choices appropriately, you will win life. Surprise given. Claire's love has brought this melancholy man back to self-confidence, and his mother's optimism and open-mindedness have taught him to live a better life. There are often failures and surprises in life. When God closes a window, It will also open a door for you.
