I actually think it speaks very profoundly to directionless 20-something year olds who still have a whole lot they need to figure out in life, but its makes adults in their 40s and 50s absolutely cringe.
@@CheerfullyCynical829 as someone now nearly 50 who saw it at the time...I think it still resonates. Shouting into the void. There is a lot of very deep dialogue in this film, about moving on, coming home when it's not home, the weirdness of your 20's and growing up and loneliness.
This scene is something I thought of after my brother died. It was right when COVID started and all I wanted to do was scream like this. Months later my place got flooded and we stayed with my parents and I brought up this scene. My dad said do it now on these stairs and I did. I needed that.
God...this song is so incredibly beautiful. It’s a perfect sonic representation of optimistic isolation. “Yeah, I’m still in a somewhat self-imposed state of alienation but hey, it won’t always be like this.”
If there is any moment Zach Braff will be remembered for, this scene will be it. Writing a Scene around a song that has one of the greatest melodies in the history of mankind, well, that is bound for success. If you want an equally cool experience, check out a DvD or remastered version of Simon and Garfunkels 2003 live version. Pino Palladinos Bass simple but stellar Bass Lines are just jaw dropping..
The best Escene I saw in a lot of time. What many feelings makes me, I don’t now what means it, but are made of hapiness, sadness, emotion… The song is the best, When I hear it in a future, I will Remember the Nigth that I saw this film and remember the emotions. Wonderfull Nataly Portman. (Sorry if my English is not really well, I’m from Spain😁)
