Risible.
A stalker label for Claire is fitting given that Elizabethtown is not unlike a fetish object designed both to pander to the audience’s grown-up adolescence and flatter Crowe’s own love of music. The world revolves around the characters in Crowe’s films (see the numerous shots of people meeting each other halfway across crowded rooms, like couples trapped inside snow globes) much in the same way these films revolve around the last 100 songs Crowe has downloaded onto his iPod. The jukebox of aural noise is a constant presence, alternately underscoring, exaggerating, and belittling every beat in the story. Sometimes a second song begins before the first one has even ended.
