I remember in the book Cheryl emphasized this was the one time she cried the entire hike, and I've always been glad they honored that. Such a poignant moment
I had a horrible break up with a boyfriend I thought was "the one" and lost my dad to suicide in the same month.... I think I'm still recovering.. but I can relate to her pain.
So beautiful. I tear up every time I see this scene. And this whole movie... just wow. Literally changed my life. Two years ago I saw it for the first time, and three months from now I'm going to start my own journey on the Appalachian Trail.
I saw this film about 4 or 5 months ago and it was this scene that really affected me. After her journey filled with dealing with all of her demons, she is faced with a moment where she is bonded with an innocent child that is dealing with the problems of his life, yet, is still able to offer her some beauty and comfort and it appears that she truly begins to forgive herself for all the destruction she has done to her life. I've had a particularly shitty day, and I felt like I needed to watch this. Thank you for uploading.
My mother passed away from cancer it’s been more then 10yrs but still a fresh wound I miss my mommy too.. she was my rock I didn’t realize my confidence came from her till she died.. I miss you mom ❤❤❤ I think of you everyday still 💔
Yes - to anyone who had an incredibly strong connection to our mothers (who we have lost) this scene really packs a punch. Our grief at their loss only shows the power of our connection. Better to have had that and lost it (as insanely painful as that is) than to have never had it.
I lost my mother recently. No one has loved me as much as she did. Of course I’m happily married and I have my friends, and my dad and siblings, but there’s a hole in my heart. I miss her so much.
@@jackiehammerton I feel this. I have any amazing boyfriend, the love of my life and other people who love me so much. But there’s no one who loves you like your mom.
It's great to see Reese really acting in a movie again. I always thought she had it in her. Just too many poor movie choices in her career. I hope she continues to choose roles like this.
I saw this movie few years ago before the death of my mother... THIS SCENE MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME 😢😭😢😭 I MISS U MY MOM VERY MUCH... O GOD I MISS U😢😢😢😢😢😢
From this valley they say you are leaving We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For you take with you all of the sunshine That has brightened our pathway a while Then come sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy that's loved you so true
Thanks my friend ... ! ua-cam.com/video/2DrKH-wf5Gk/v-deo.html *RED RIVER ROCK* Guitar cover by *Johnny & The Hurricanes* This song can be considered the continuation of the first, with the modern Rock rhythm of 1959.
puts a lump in my throat when I see this sceene. .ps don't rude and say dirty comments as I am genuine and miss my two sisters whom past away il see you soon 😊
This was my favorite scene in the movie too. I keep replaying it over and over again with her breaking down at the end. It was truly beautiful. Love this!
A song from a child untouched by malice, innocent and pure. In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the harshness and majesty of Nature itself. *Now that is ... Beauty*
When my sons were young, I would hum Red River Valley to them until they fell asleep. They're all grown now with young sons of there own and yes, they carry on the tradition....I cried here.
The actress who plays the boy's grandmother says so much and everything she needs to in that one closeup of her face after the boy says he's not supposed to talk to strangers. Incredible acting.
It was a hit and was nominated at Oscars for a couple of categories including best actress and best supporting actress. What mainstream recognition are you talking about?
I have watched this part again and again. Probably the most powerful part of the movie. The boy was great, especially where he paused and asked her how her mom died. Then the song and the emotion, makes me cry every time.
I find that children who are dying from illnesses are incredibly mature when they accept their mortality. They are so honest with their feelings and not afraid to question the things around them.
kids come into this world with pure, brutally honest souls and aren't afraid to ask people the tough questions. it's growing up that teaches us to lie, lack empathy and become self-obsessed. i think that's why i've always loved them so much. i'm a 37/f who can't have kids of my own due to some really serious medical issues that pretty much derailed my "life plan" but if i'm ever to live on my own again without help i'd love to foster... possibly even foster to adopt. in my 20's and early 30's i knew i should be working with kids but i had people in my ear telling me that i'd go nowhere in life with that salary. i changed majors, graduated, was on the fast track to "success" - i owned my own property, had a kickass "cool, downtown loft" PR job, tons of friends.... but when illness struck my life, it really shows you WHAT truly matters not to mention WHO truly cares about you. this little sweet soul singing makes me teary all the time. who knows what will happen in life but i try to keep positive, even when i'm currently living in a toxic situation with my parents. hey, maybe i'll never be a mom but i'll find love later in life and be the best step-grandma to ever live! advice to the young who haven't been through anything similar: don't take a single day for granted, forgive (unless its toxic/abusive), and care nothing but what your heart truly desires and run, run and never look back. happiness awaits you if you are true to what actually makes you passionate and excited about in life. be well. ❤️
This movie came out the same year my mother passed away of cancer and they showed the trailer on Tv and it hit me so hard when she says " she was the love of my life". I now have a husband and two children and they are also the love of my life, but my mother was like a part of me that was brutaly ripped away.
god i remember watching this when i was at the lowest point in my life and a ladybug 🐞 suddenly appeared on my leg. i was bawling men. i still think of that day until now. i am going through a lot of things right now but i know i can do it problems dont stay problems. this scene and that ladybug is my constant reminder .
That happened to me too, a yellow ladybug landed on my hand/palm while I wad crying out my soul in nature bcuz I feared for my life due to something I was going through and that ladybug when she landed I knew immediately it was a sign from the universe and i felt safe and loved in that moment, it was such a comfort ♥️
I read her memoir...Cheryl Strayed...as a man it touched my soul...I hated myself for so long...this scene is about forgiving yourself...it healed and broke in so many ways I cannot articulate😪
I have always pondered the notion that Reese Witherspoon and Alicia Silverstone should have been sisters . Very similar lifestyles these two young women have film presence even when the films arent very good.
This is an old song but each time I see this movie and hear this young boy sing this song, it brings me to tears!!!!😢 Its crazy how an old song can be so timeless!💕 This song was originally penned: "The earliest known written manuscript of the lyrics to “Red River Valley” were found in Iowa bearing the notation of the year 1879."
This little boy Kyle is so precious and so adorable, it brought a smile to my face to hear him sing. Cute border collie too. My favorite breed of dog ❤️❤️

From this valley they say you are going, We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, For they say you are taking the sunshine Which has brightened our pathways a while. Chorus Come and sit by my side if you love me; Do not hasten to bid me adieu, But remember the Red River Valley, And the girl that has loved you so true. I've been thinking a long time, my darling, Of the sweet words you never would say, Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish? For they say you are going away. Won't you think of the valley you're leaving, Oh, how lonely and sad it will be, Just think of the fond heart you're breaking, And the grief you are causing to me. From this valley they say you are going, When you go, may your darling go too? Would you leave her behind unprotected, When she loves no one other than you. As you go to your home by the ocean, May you never forget those sweet hours, That we spent in the Red River Valley, And the love we exchanged 'mid the flowers. I have promised you, darling, that never Will a word from my lips cause you pain, And my life, it will be yours forever, If you only will love me again. They will bury me where you have wandered, Near the hills where the daffodils grow, When you're gone from the Red River valley, For I can't live without you I know.
i was a blubbering mess at this. kids come into this world with pure, brutally honest souls and aren't afraid to ask people tough questions. they haven't been indoctrinated by the poisons of the world yet - well, in a perfect world that is. it's growing up (especially if you don't have a good childhood (so the grandma stepping up for this boy has always touched my heart as well) or have something truly terrible knock us down early. growing up: we learn how to lie, start to lack that pure empathy and become so self-obsessed and prioritize things that make us miserable due to necessity. i think that's why i've always loved wee little ones so much. i'm a 37/f who can't have kids of my own due to some really serious medical issues that pretty much derailed my "life plan" but if i ever recover enough to live on my own again without help i'd love to foster... possibly even foster to adopt, tbh. there are so many children in need of a safe, warm, loving life where they don't have to be stressed and in chaos daily. in my 20's and early 30's i knew i should be working with kids but i had people in my ear telling me that i'd go nowhere in life with that salary. i changed majors, graduated, was on the fast track to "success" - i owned my own property, had a kickass "cool, downtown loft" PR job, tons of friends.... but when illness struck my life, it really shows you WHAT truly matters not to mention WHO truly cares about you. this little sweet soul singing makes me teary all the time. who knows what will happen in life but i try to keep positive, even when i'm currently living in a toxic situation with my parents. hey, maybe i'll never be a mom but i'll find love later in life and be the best step-grandma to ever live! advice to the young who haven't been through anything similar: don't take a single day for granted, forgive (unless its toxic/abusive), and care nothing but what your heart truly desires and run, run and never look back. happiness awaits you if you are true to what actually makes you passionate and excited about in life. yes, money is necessary but it doesn't buy happiness. a more simple existence is very underrated these days, that's all i'm trying to say. be well... and if you're not? please don't try to hard knuckle through it alone, trust me. i swear my illness happened to save my soul. ❤
People are so much more than simply drug users.or addicts.THEY are brothers fathers cousins friends sisters mothers winners losers it has no creed or colour.it may be the label that you wear for a while,or even now.....but have hope believe me there is a way out..problems dont stay problems.....and yes i was a problem and yes i turned into something else..SELF GROWTH BE THE BEST YOU ITS ONLY NATURAL.
i don't understand the kid's problem, he looks like sensitive or something like this, he's so strange and macabre, asks about cheryl's mother and starts to sing a song that sound like known from cheryl (like a song that mother sings frecuently) just my illusion?
Saw this clip again after many years. So utterly amazed by little Evan. (who is now a teen) How immensely proud Pam and the late Owen (Evan's dear parents) must have been seeing their son in this film when it came out! I'm blown away again!
IDK why I'll cry when I listen to this song every time since I became an adult， especially when I meet some life problems. Still, this song is classic, and this movie scene is a masterpiece.
I found it fascinating that the problem the boy had was something he wasn’t supposed to talk about. Why did the director make that the case? I feel it has to do with making problems generic, like something everyone can share without any specific detail regarding them. And the solution she gave the boy was for a problem she had no idea about, as if it can be applied to all problems. It’s just a take I had in a very interesting detail of the scene. Thoughts?
I just read the book and his problems are to do with his mother being absent/drugs but he tells Vera off for talking to Cheryl about them. So a bit reversed than what's depicted here.
Though this scene and the film don’t specifically or intentionally reference faith or God it’s 100% obvious that this was a Divinely orchestrated appointment that Cheryl had to be prepared for. Throughout the entire trail to this point, God was working on her scarred soul and broken heart. My faith and personal experience with the realities of this life along with God’s Love has shown me that He was by her side every step of the trail as well. Faith in a loving Creator is the only way I can explain how that 6 year old boy could have reached Cheryl’s deepest soul and relate to the specific pain, suffering and sorrow that they both had in common. Not to mention the perfect timing for their life altering meeting on the PCT at that exact moment. ❤ Thanks for sharing this remarkably deep and tender exchange from a beautiful film.
It's crazy because airport know him we used duet or whatever it is to talk to each other his Name is EVAN O'toole. We also play Xbox one sometimes his name is The Blingateer.
I remember in the book Cheryl emphasized this was the one time she cried the entire hike, and I've always been glad they honored that. Such a poignant moment

I hiked the PCT a couple of years ago and while I can safely say my experience was very different it was still unnervingly beautiful.
What a powerful scene, the singing of the kid must be like a light from heaven struck right through her soul
I read her memoir...Cheryl Strayed...as a man it touched my soul...I hated myself for so long...this scene is about forgiving yourself...it healed and broke in so many ways I cannot articulate😪
A really great movie and great acting by Reese Whiterspoon as well as Laura Dern.
The song he sings is so beautiful.. but when she drops to her knees and it finally hits her.... I could totally relate to that scene.
It;s more than a scene in a movie, kids.... it's how It Is, how things are. Bless

From this valley they say you are going,
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine
Which has brightened our pathways a while.
Chorus
Come and sit by my side if you love me;
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
But remember the Red River Valley,
And the girl that has loved you so true.
I've been thinking a long time, my darling,
Of the sweet words you never would say,
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish?
For they say you are going away.
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving,
Oh, how lonely and sad it will be,
Just think of the fond heart you're breaking,
And the grief you are causing to me.
From this valley they say you are going,
When you go, may your darling go too?
Would you leave her behind unprotected,
When she loves no one other than you.
As you go to your home by the ocean,
May you never forget those sweet hours,
That we spent in the Red River Valley,
And the love we exchanged 'mid the flowers.
I have promised you, darling, that never
Will a word from my lips cause you pain,
And my life, it will be yours forever,
If you only will love me again.
They will bury me where you have wandered,
Near the hills where the daffodils grow,
When you're gone from the Red River valley,
For I can't live without you I know.
Then, out of no where Mark Wahlberg walks out and yells "LET ME IN THE FUCKIN 'OUSE!"

i don't understand the kid's problem, he looks like sensitive or something like this, he's so strange and macabre, asks about cheryl's mother and starts to sing a song that sound like known from cheryl (like a song that mother sings frecuently) just my illusion?
Nice movie
This is the scene where she sees her wounded inner child and then heals her inner child ❤ love this scene, my favorite in the movie.
Saw this clip again after many years. So utterly amazed by little Evan. (who is now a teen) How immensely proud Pam and the late Owen (Evan's dear parents) must have been seeing their son in this film when it came out! I'm blown away again!
we're all just chasing childhood joy
The most powerful scene from a great film. I see Reese Witherspoon through completely different eyes after seeing this film.
IDK why
I'll cry when I listen to this song every time since I became an adult， especially when I meet some life problems.
Still, this song is classic, and this movie scene is a masterpiece.
I found it fascinating that the problem the boy had was something he wasn’t supposed to talk about. Why did the director make that the case? I feel it has to do with making problems generic, like something everyone can share without any specific detail regarding them. And the solution she gave the boy was for a problem she had no idea about, as if it can be applied to all problems. It’s just a take I had in a very interesting detail of the scene. Thoughts?
When Cheryl says she doesn't see her dad anymore the little boy said he didn't either so I always assumed the problem was related to that.
I just read the book and his problems are to do with his mother being absent/drugs but he tells Vera off for talking to Cheryl about them. So a bit reversed than what's depicted here.
Everytime i feel tirre with life i go back watch this scene
Yes, this is my favourite scene from a truly amazing movie. Thank you so much for posting :)
Im not crying..you are crying..😢😢😢
Though this scene and the film don’t specifically or intentionally reference faith or God it’s 100% obvious that this was a Divinely orchestrated appointment that Cheryl had to be prepared for.
Throughout the entire trail to this point, God was working on her scarred soul and broken heart. My faith and personal experience with the realities of this life along with God’s Love has shown me that He was by her side every step of the trail as well.
Faith in a loving Creator is the only way I can explain how that 6 year old boy could have reached Cheryl’s deepest soul and relate to the specific pain, suffering and sorrow that they both had in common. Not to mention the perfect timing for their life altering meeting on the PCT at that exact moment. ❤
Thanks for sharing this remarkably deep and tender exchange from a beautiful film.
I think she let it all go at this moment.
that ‘god i miss you’ line related
beautiful scene
Miss you Kimmu.. this rendition is for you.
2:10 you knew right then that she was going to be okay. When we all recognize we are vulnerable and in need of others, we free ourselves
Just watched the movie. Love the story.
The book is well written too.
I MISS MY MUM
My dad is my mom. He is my sunshine and has a pens and a vageena.
Just wished that the movie was mostly filmed on the real PCT.
i dont get why its so sad?
This really is the best part of the entire movie . without a doubt . Healing , Connecting with others, earth/Gaia and Hiking your own hike .. 🙏🙏🙏💙❤💜
It's crazy because airport know him we used duet or whatever it is to talk to each other his Name is EVAN O'toole. We also play Xbox one sometimes his name is The Blingateer.
🥺😭
