“No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy…a single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement…the Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody against the current with a single purpose: sex, of course, but also…life.” (Drew Baylor, main character in Elizabethtown)
I love movies, and I love music. I especially love films that weave music gorgeously into the plot. If there ever was a person who could do this, Cameron Crowe is your man. If you’ve seen Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous or Elizabethtown, you may know what I’m talking about. This man’s an artist.
What does my taste in film and their directors have to do with NFP? Well, it’s all in film. Check it out. You'll laugh, cry and appreciate Cameron Crowe. You’ll have to see it to know how this quote fits into the film, but it’s an inspiring piece of work that has revealed itself more and more profound in my life. It’s not a PG film, so don’t expect it to be a cinematic lesson in morality. No, spiritual lessons are much more subtle in Hollywood.
Ok, he’s not exactly pronouncing his love for Humanae Vitae, but perhaps he’s on the right path?

wow i saw that movie years ago and i have to say i spent the whole movie saying, “huh?? what does THAT have to do with the rest of the plot??”. i also remember a phone scene that went on entirely too long. maybe it would help if i saw it again but i all i remember is utter confusion and wishing i had those 2 hours of my life back! sorry to burst your bubble but no one else commented :/
You didn’t burst my bubble. The movie isn’t for everyone.
I love this movie! It’s so quirky, and I haven’t even thought about the pro-life message of it. Thanks for pointing it out
