if it wasn't this...it'd be someting else!

In this world, there will always be something that will deeply move you, and the reason is actually very simple, that is, it has a deep resonance with you. Sometimes it's not about whether it's perfect or not, it just makes your heart beat because it's there then and there. I have to admit that Elizabethtown is such a movie that moved me.
As Mitch's wife, Drew's mother, stood on the mourning stage, recounting how she'd changed these days, she tried to tell it all in a comic-sounding manner, in the days when her husband was gone, She repaired the car by herself, nearly got eaten by it; went to the bank with a mask on; called the insurance broker, but got no call back. All this is the same as Drew's sister crying on the phone earlier in the film. His wife's life is so chaotic because of Mitch's departure. It seems that these chaos can hide the deep sadness and loss in the heart. She learns to tap dance, she goes to comedy class, she also learns green cooking, when she talks about her neighbor bob hugging her, she is full of gratitude, only to find that bob is just trying to wipe the oil, although the whole audience laughs . But the woman standing on the stage should be so sad in her heart.
Happiness may be contagious and shared, but pain is not. Everyone has their own pain, and no one can share anything for anyone.
When the moon river sounded, she danced on stage, dedicated to his lover and their 27 years of marriage. She didn't cry or shed tears from start to finish, and there were no painful statements in her words. But who can say that such love is not deep, and such separation does not make people sad. Only then did I realize that the most distressing thing was not only the eyes full of tears, but also the sadness and strength behind the affectionate smile. I always thought that maybe in the dead of night, she could not help crying in the bedroom alone.
At such a time, if you are in a small town like Elizabeth, you may be the happiest person. Unlike a city where there are only successes and failures, the people in the town are familiar with each other, have a harmonious relationship, and live a simple life. More, their feelings are very direct, just like Charlie and Cindy's wedding, not too defensive, full of compassion, always make you feel helpless and lonely, even if the children are non-stop 's noisy.

When God closes a door, he will open a window for you. Drew lost his job, lost his success, but he ushered in a new understanding of life, life, love. He was lucky to have met a woman like Claire. She taught him to face life with an experiential attitude, experience failure, experience success, experience life, and experience everything on the journey.

Drew's failure, Mitch's passing, the people of Elizabethtown, that special memorial service, Clair's exclusive map...

life, success, failure, family, love, friendship, travel, scenery, life... what are we looking for or should How to live?

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

    [kisses Claire]
