I never had a family. That's why I understand the value and importance of it. Family is like having roof over your head, the greatest blessing from God. (September 2024).
One of the favorite films of my life, and the end scene with Sir Anthony And Pitt never ceases to tear me up, with Newman's gorgeous music backing it. An underrated lovely movie.
This is the soundtrack of the tragic childhood, the one that was supposed to be perfect but was far from it for perhaps an array of reasons or perhaps just one big negative reason. Looking back now it feels beyond painful.
Ce film si poignant de vérité, certains hommes détruisent et d'autres essayent de reconstruire... j'ai encore dû mal à le revoir, je suis persuadé que mes ancêtres ont vécu cette horreur !!! D'origine Cicilliene et voir d'autres, bref une abomination
This song makes grief easier. Last time, i listned to it while crying when i was very sick and had no hope of living like a normal person again. Today, my rescue dog died and here i am again. Crying while hearing this.
This movie/music felt like my life when I was in about 19/20 years old. So eerily similar, maybe it was just being young and dating a beautiful young woman like the Thora Birch character. Well done.
I was born in 1961. This movie came to be in 1968. I hadn't learned of it until about 1994. It made such an impression on me. And that song will haunt me for the end of my time on earth.
Watching American Beauty and this soundtrack is like how I feel hiking which I love; this movie sunshine, rain, thunderstorm, dark forest, majestic views, solitude, flow, balance, smiles, pain, tears, connection, its perfect like nature.
Few months ago I fell asleep on the couch. I had watched American beauty few days beforehand. Woke up like 2am with radio in the tv , bbc radio 4 I think, they play random stuff. Must have been a movie soundtrack evening or something. Anyway woke up all sideways , and this was playing on the radio. Had a bit of a moment cos I had watched the movie very recently before. The music is wonderful. Maybe was a fat one smoked before sleep
Ive heard this before, and it always seemed like a "funeral appropriate song". I lost my babygirl the past week and listened to this, and still do. I never knew where it came from, but to me, this healed the hurt and now soothes my soul. Rest In Peace Emily, my little babygirl...
