That little girl picking Country Road over Rihanna made the movie a ten in my book. I know, it doesn't mean she likes it better, she just sang it to please her daddy, but still, symbolically, it's powerful. It's picking what is kind of an unofficial US anthem, something culturally rooted, over... well, Rihanna.
I’ll always remember the first time I watched this, I was high and my ex girlfriend seen me get teary eyed, she asked me if I was okay and I say oh fucking courses. I miss her a lot, but she moved on.
Most of the comments are simply not getting it. This is not a scene eith a great emotional charge because of father-daughter relationship, but for the deep connection that’s being stablished between the song and the audience. It’s a moment of shared culture and nostalgia.
Looked at the ex-wife's face, everyone else happy to sing John Denver, she the only sour face in the whole room. As a woman I can honestly say, we're going to look back at the way we've been treating men since the 80's, and we're going to regret having been on the wrong side of history.
As much as it is sweet that she sang her fathers favorite song that made him teared up a bit, its actually the audience. They heard a classic song sung and couldn't resist in singing along, just proves how any music can make an impact in our lives.
I love this scene so much. It's not just that she is connecting with her dad, but everyone in the audience is having their own connections to their internal thoughts that you can see on their faces as they sing the song under their breath. Beautiful because it feels real
