Adversity makes a man wise, not rich

I've watched the movie Elizabeth town recently. Terrific movie! And it mainly talks about adversity, failure and fate. It also connected with the true love. I like it very much. And consider that the hero of the story have something special similar with me. Although it's not a fiasco like the hero, I think it's a fiasco for a common family. It takes time to extract joy from life, but if there is burden, there is no joy. It seemed that he happened to the fiasco . And he used to choose the death while the chance is coming: his father's pass away, as the oldest son in the family, he had to go back to his hometown Elizabeth town. There is nothing special in his life before. But there was a big change after he met her on the way to Elizabeth town. I should say sorry that I've forgot the name of heroin and hero of the movie.The heroine gave him the courage to get along with life and the confidence to enjoy the life. I've benefit from those. I like the line at the beginning: a failure is simply the non-presence of success, any fool can accomplish failure , but a fiasco… a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions; a fiasco is a folktale told to others… to make other people feel more alive… because it didn't happen to them.

It seems that someone's born is a fiasco in the real world: poor, run into debt, deformity, suffer disaster…everybody has its own stage, a single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The pacific northwestern salmon beats itself bloody… on its quest to travel hundreds of mils upstream… against the current, with a single purpose…sex…but also …. Life! I think that everyone is common, if there's any special happened on him, there must be some target of his life or adversities in his life. Everyone expects his or her life steady-going: a steady job, a steady life, a concerned husband/wife, a house even a lovely kid. But lift is not go as one wishes, there always has ridges on one's way, for me, is the target for the long-term and the burden from the family. Blue used to ask me if I have a boyfriend or if I fall in love with someone. But,there's more important thing I want to do. Life contains a lot of things except love. The hero of the story said: I have a very dark appointment with destiny. But I don't think so, I believe that I will have a very bright appointment with my destiny in the future. I hope I have the chance to approach my target step by step. That's who I am. If I want to be really great, then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Keep smiling! Puddle fish…then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Keep smiling! Puddle fish…then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Keep smiling! Puddle fish…

    The original soundtrack is great, "Moon River" appeared just right and hit the tears. And it was supposed to be better, but it was a pity that I lost to the disorderly scheduling, broken editing, and the incapable Orlando Bloom... But who would not fall in love with such a romantic and sweet Red Riding Hood Where's the girl? ★★★☆
