Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown last night. I loved this movie so much, I deleted my Monty Python icon and replaced it with an Elizabethtown Icon. That is saying quite a bit.
My Review:
This movie was funny, in more than one way. There was more intellectual humor (irony, etc.), a bit of dirty humor, and things that were funny just because they were situations I could relate to. Everybody laughs at some point. The movie is narrated by the inner voice of the main character, and I felt like I was inside my own head. The movie is all about questioning life, the future, and the past. To sum it up in one sentence: "All forward motion counts."
(Not to mention Orlando Bloom is friggin' hott!)
Favorite Quotations!
"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. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose: sex, of course, but also....life."
"Sadness is easier because it's surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free."
"In that moment I knew success -- not greatness -- was the only god the world served."
"All forward motion counts."
"I've spent so much time thinking about all the answers to the problem, that I forget what the problem *actually* was."
