Elizabethtown

So I watched Elizabethtown tonight with some of the guys from the house. I remember now why I liked the movie so much. It's a movie with a lot of randomness in it, yet it all comes together in the end. Orlando Bloom (Drew) and Kirsten Dunst (Claire) have great chemistry together, which really makes the film. Anyways, I thought I would put some of my favorite quotes from the movie. Here they are:

Claire: Trust me. Everybody is less mysterious than they think they are.
 
Claire: I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember.

Drew: There's a diffrence between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is merely the absence of success. Any fool can achieve failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of epic propotions. A fiasco is a folk tale told to other's to make other people feel more alive because it didn't happen to them. 

Claire: So you failed. Alright you really failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling. 

Claire: Men see things in a box, and women see them in a round room

Claire: I think I've been asleep most of my life
Drew: Me too.

Drew: 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

So there you have it. Take risks, and when you fail, stick around. Smile. Make people wonder why you are smiling.
