became characters cutting editing figure showing start themes wholesale within worlds
There are so many different themes and characters and worlds within the movie. Lo and behold, we find that the editing of all those little strains in a movie can be really difficult.

The entire story of 'Elizabethtown' arrived quickly, ... a tale of love and loss and the discovery of family roots in the aftermath of a very black turn of events in the life of a young shoe designer, Orlando Bloom. It was a story that would start with an ending and end with a beginning and, I hoped, give a sense of what it was to be truly alive.

Tom and I have a similar sensibility and experience. You know his dad was from Kentucky where I set the film, and so was mine. That's where he died. His mom's really important in his life and so is mine,

nobody gets a free ride. And nobody should get a free ride.
