rhythm was just right, and the death of his father put him on the edge of the cliff in time. Of course, in his view, taking care of his father's funeral is only the last task before his death. With this mindset, he embarked on a journey to Elizabethtown, not expecting that the trip would change his destiny.
On the plane, Drew met Claire, who was prepared by the director to save Angel Girl No. 1. It is not because she looks like an angel that she is an angel. To be honest, she is not the kind of stunning beauty that makes men forget to breathe when they see her. On the contrary, she looks a little old. She is said to be an angel because of her mission in this film - to save the disheartened and desperate Drew, not only to save his body, but also to save his soul. But at the beginning, she didn't know about Drew, maybe she was just attracted by Drew's handsome appearance, our female lead was too enthusiastic, like a HC. As the only passenger on the flight, Drew's aloof, melancholy, yet veiled, mood easily raises serious concerns (haha! Diplomatic rhetoric) from the empathetic Claire. At this point, she quickly changed roles and started her angel rescue operation.
So the next scene between the male and female protagonists seems to be planned by Claire, and the director is only responsible for arranging for them to meet by chance:
leave the contact information under the pretext of giving directions,
spend the night on the phone, and then meet to watch the sunrise (maybe Drew is excited at this time) ,
to give up the vacation plan in Hawaii and get along silently in the hotel (a period of tepid comfort that slowly penetrates into the depths of the soul),
A gift at a funeral (a creative travel plan),
a gift-guided journey until a reunion (complete soul redemption),
falling in love (a happy ending, but a little surprise, Claire Submerged among men and women in red hats, luckily just a blip).
It can be seen that being a saving angel requires a lot of love and patience. Claire's angelic language is impressive, almost without hesitation, blurted out, but every word is pearly and every sentence is vivid. Coupled with the exciting little ideas, even the dead dust will rekindle the fire of hope under her inspiration. The ice condensed in Drew's heart finally melted under Claire's tepid comfort.
Safflower has to be matched with green leaves. The rescue operation is not a single-handed act of heroism. It is necessary to mobilize the people and launch a vigorous people's war. Claire's political theory study was not fast enough, and he did not understand Mao Zedong Thought, so this task had to be completed by the director. Cameron Crowe arranged a large group of relatives, friends, neighbors, and neighbors, each with a compassionate, kind and simple heart, and did their best to help Drew get rid of the pain of losing his father. But how did they know that Drew was hit far harder than they wished to think. So, they listened to Drew mechanically saying My condolences in disbelief, like "I'm fine" from their colleagues. There is also the unknown Chuck, who was crying bitterly, full of comedy, and kind-hearted to the point of madness.
Drew's mother, Susan Sarandon, faced the pain of bereavement, she learned to cook, tap dance, repair cars and toilets by herself, and calmly recalled the warmth of their life together at the funeral ceremony. Duanzi, and then dance... so talented!
Although the whole film revolves around the funeral, there is a lighthearted, humorous and sunny atmosphere from start to finish. Funerals are more like a party than a wedding. It's really rare.
The ending of the film is also exactly what Cameron Crowe envisioned when he first came up with the idea for the script: "The whole film begins with an end (the funeral) and ends with a new beginning (hope)." When you When you encounter setbacks, when you lose hope and confidence in life, why not try to go back to the original point and look at and perceive life again with a different heart. At this time, you will find that in the process of growing up, you have neglected many things that should be cherished. The feeling of regaining the treasure is indescribable, and life will start from another starting point. I believe this is also the director Cameron. What Crowe wants to express to everyone. I hope you can watch the whole movie and look around when you leave the theater, and there will be a feeling of nostalgia in your heart... (this paragraph is a quote)
