Sunlit Elizabethtown

"Elizabethtown" is a very fresh love film I watched recently. It is pure and natural like dewdrops on green leaves, moisturizing people's hearts. It is true that I have seen a lot of love sketches of this "frustrated man + sunny woman" model, but this one still left the deepest impression on me. On the way of life, we keep looking for our own Elizabethtown, where there is no pressure of work, no battle for fame and fortune, and no cruelty in reality. There are just a group of people who will always care about you, support you and cheer for you. Family and friends. The stubborn mess of the old people, the cousins ​​who have children but are still childish, and a group of children who regard themselves as idols, think about it, it is really worrying. But when I encountered one of the biggest blows in my life, I found out that those so-called bosses who appreciate themselves are eager to make up for themselves before you fall. And the so-called girlfriend has also become a message mailbox that never gets answered. I don't know when the blow of life will end, the crossroads of life that has been wandering for a long time.
But in the end, looking back, what is really left. No. Too bad. No, there is, and there is always Elizabethtown behind you, with its doors open, waiting for you to come back.

"The Frustrated Man"
has never liked Orlando Bloom very much, and has not felt it since the role of Wil Turner. too fake. The action language is relatively stereotyped, it seems that the 3 male and female pigs' feet in "Pirates of the Caribbean" are just to prove a question: Who is more lacking in acting skills, Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley?
Still, I'm more than satisfied with Orlando Bloom in such a role. For two-thirds of the film, his face was covered with dark clouds, and it looked pretty cool. He played the Drew class who suffered a series of bad luck. The first is that the shoes he designed for the new star were returned in large numbers, and inevitably, they were fired. The girlfriend he made when he was proud left him without hesitation. And 7 days later, a report about his failure will also be published, which may keep him from looking up in design circles forever. (This is too bad!) When he was despairing of committing suicide, he unexpectedly learned of his father's death, which made Drew stop and had to go to his hometown of Elizabethtown to take care of his father's affairs before making plans. Unexpectedly, on the plane, he accidentally met a girl who changed the fate of his life - Claire.


"Sunshine Girl"
Finally arrived at my favorite Dunst. The actress who has always been my favorite, although she has not released any new works recently, she still likes her Gu Ling's strange expression, which is very interesting. The upper impression is still on the wild and unruly little girl in "crazy beautiful" in a very early movie. Who knows, in a blink of an eye, she has a layer of Spider Woman's halo on her body. Back to the movie. When Drew was at the lowest point in his life, it was the beautiful and kind flight attendant Claire who gave him the warmest smile and the most thoughtful advice. Not only helped him find Elizabethtown, his hometown, but also Elizabethtown in his life. In order to relieve him, he did not hesitate to spend several nights on the phone, and even temporarily changed shifts because he did not want to leave him alone. She deeply influenced Drew with her unique passion for life and her unique sunshine way of thinking, which made him feel closer to his family, and made him understand what he really wanted to cherish.


I really like the end of the film, Drew finally found Claire in the crowd, and the two embraced each other. Standing at the fork, they followed the guidance of their hearts and found their own happiness.
With Dunst's lovely and charming Little Red Riding Hood, "Elizabethtown" has become another new memory in my heart.

There are also a few lines that are very classic, please share.
Success, not greatness, was the only god the entire world served.
Drew said. Alas, one can really say anything when one is disappointed!
There will be something else
Drew's father used to say. Similar to: "There is always a window." It can also be seen that his father's influence on him is subtle.

sort of wait-and-see.
Means "walk and see" is what Drew said on the plane.

we are intrepid, we carry on.
These are Claire's words to encourage Drew, and the words are sonorous and powerful!

trust me, every body is less mysterious than they think they are.
Ditto, "Every body is less mysterious than they think they are"

what's that sound? silence!
Very funny line. Drew's cousin's sons and daughters were always making a fuss, but Claire's videotape kept them obedient and didn't even dare to make a sound. At this time, the old people who were accustomed to noise were a little uncomfortable.
