begin drew ending liked ready starting
I liked the idea of starting the movie with the ending and ending it with the beginning, ... I feel that by the end Drew is ready to begin again.
again bigger character develop double favorites gets later listen maybe simpler start supposed themes tv
I like double albums, ... And this was kind of a double album. And with double albums, sometimes you say, 'Well this is a whole lot to process.' But then you listen to it again and you start to develop favorites and it gets a character all its own. And then you think maybe you see this movie later on TV and you start to think, 'Well, you know what? I get it. That all these themes are supposed to be part of a bigger simpler theme.'

american-director gone laughter sad start tears wonder
I wonder if I had gone for laughter and tears from the start how sad (the movie) would've been.
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. I didn't want to start cutting out characters wholesale and savaging the many different performances. Over time, showing the movie became the only way to figure out how it was all rhythmically working.

aftermath arrived beginning black discovery ending entire events family life loss love orlando roots shoe start tale truly turn
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.
failure fiasco gone liked
I liked the idea of fiasco as failure gone to church. How does that become a transcendent thing? And that morphed into the different mini-themes.

Not that I took it as a fiasco at the time, but no one saw 'Almost Famous' in the theaters,
came dad great hated loved
It's not a movie about, 'My dad and I, we hated each other and then we came to know that we loved each other.' No. I loved my dad. He was a great guy. I just didn't know him as an adult.
change dance discussion hudson kate knew name people playing terrible theaters toughest
I knew 'Almost Famous' wasn't playing in theaters at that long length. And really, it wasn't one of those terrible squabbles that you read about, where people want to change their name or anything. Our toughest discussion was, did Kate Hudson dance too long? It wasn't that big of a deal.
miss sound time
I miss Kentucky, I miss the sound of the cicadas, and I want to come back from time to time.

I've done some of the same things that Orlando does in the movie, for sure,
