Elizabethtown (2005)

i'm back! :D (i'd die suffocated from the platypus nags if i don't make an entry here.. hehehehe..! but i still adore u hun ;P )

anyway, lets get back to business. i found out bout the movie from an ex-colleague who had been asking me like zillions of times as to whether Malaysia actually released this movie. I didn't know back then and i still don't know now (sorry dude... ) but it doesn't matter coz i've always have my *Movie Recycle Centre* to lean on :D

Orlando Bloom (and man! he really bloomed..! :P ) and Kirsten Dunst (i just love her in this flick!) starred in this movie. Oukay... imagine this... you screwed up big time with a wayyyyyyyy established, multi zillion sport related company (think Nike, or was it Adidas? :P) and you got fired. on your way out of the building, you bumped into your girlfriend and you asked her "do you love me?" and she replied "Yes" (with a *i think i love you* face) like with 5 minutes delay. and when you reached home, your sister called to inform you that "Dad has passed away". Three unlucky strikes in a row. In one day. Consecutively. I'd go insane for an unknown duration of time if it was me. Though probably that would happen in reality to most of us, but the movie shows you sometimes we should take things one at a time, rationally.

Essentially, the movie is about how people exert with what life has to offer as well as enduring the death of someone loved by everybody, and coping with the imprinted tragedy. There are also threads of heart warming gestures that soften the unmelodious tunes, with a touch of sweet originality craziness :)

What i love most about this movie is the scripts/lines/quotes. i think they are refreshing, original and captivating. Lines like "I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember", "You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody" or even "Is there such a thing as partial cremation?" (oh, i literally rolling on the floor, laughing because of this ;) ) and dozens others.

Here's the trailer :
