Elizabethtown (2005)

If it wasn't this... it'd be something else.

Directed by Cameron Crowe
Written by
Cameron Crowe
Starring:
Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon




An unexpected romance blooms when a young man returns home for his father's funeral. This is the kind of movie you should see in a sunny afternoon after a little walk at seaside, and feel the brezze of the wind. It's a warm, healing, personal, and sweet movie with some sense of humor. It made me laugh and cry at the same time. I love the tenderness of this movie.

Yes, we are answering "I'm fine" with a formulated smile on our faces all the time. Like "I am sorry I lie to you, but what can you do if I insist to say I am fine". Showing the different sides of combination "traditional" and modern American values gives us wider mind to love other people, starting from our family. We don't know life enough yet. But no matter how bad things get in your life, you should never give up. You can cry or laugh, but don't give it up. And don't be a sub of somebody else.

You are you. We are who we are.
You are unique. I have dreams, too.

Susan Sarandon is so great, as always. Kirsten Dunst is a sweet, hometown American girl. Bloom has a cute face! I have to admit. hehe....

Nashville, once there for a good friend. Beautiful city! I miss a typical, small American town. Never been to Kentucky yet. Maybe I should visit Elizabethtown next time. And visit The Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City. And I like trees.

"Free spirit", "Respect", "Discipline" is equally important in life. I think.

I am fine.

反正﹐ 不是這件事﹐ 就是別件。
不是這個人﹐ 就是別的人。

千萬不要當別人的替代品﹗
該怎麼做就該怎麼做吧﹗

事情 & 人﹐ 都是人生的過客。
我們到底在忙來忙去找什麼﹖

我希望我是一棵樹

愛 Love & 親情 Family﹗?

*No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: 'Those who risk, win.' A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement.

*You are an artist, man! Your job is to break through barriers, not accept blame and bow and say, "Thank you, I am a loser. I 'll go away now." You want to be really great?! Then, have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you are still smiling. That's the greatness to me.

*You have 5 minutes to wallow in the delicious misery.
Enjoy it, embrace it, discard it... and proceed.

*His death was only the beginning of his victory.
