I saw this overlooked film for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I would now include it among my favorite films. Love the nationalistic, simplistic storytelling. Robert Duvall and Tess Harper were terrific.

excellent movie.. if you havent.. see it..

He’s right too. I’ve learned to NEVER trust happiness…

Robert Duvall: the great one.

He showed vulnerability and she reacted instinctively.

In my humble opinion, one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history…… this movie is so subtle, so quiet, and as a born and bred Southerner, so in the pocket… this movie never gets old for me!

This scene is etched on my mind and my heart. One of my favorites movies of all time.

Does anyone notice her outfit is the same as the scarecrows. Intentional Symbolism (?) She keeps the crows out of his life, like the scarecrow keeps them out of the garden.

I first saw this movie about a month ago. I was moved to tears watching this movie. I can’t trust happiness either. I’m 67 and I don’t remember a time when I did.

How to win an Oscar on merit. ,

Just wanted to see what this film was about. Wow. Stunning. An american masterpiece.

Why on earth have you presented this in the wrong aspect ratio? Everythng is squeezed up!

Best acting but the story sucked.

I have loved this movie and particularly this scene, after reading the comments, i see I'm not alone!

I don't either

But the people close to him has cost them there life.

I understand his pain and he’s trying to figure out why his bad choices in life haven’t killed him.

Brilliantly understated acting as always by one of the greats, Mr. Robert Duvall.

This is gay

We can't "trust happiness" because everything, in this life, is temporary. True "happiness" or perhaps.. peace.. prevails when we realize that.

is there a similarity - Tender Mercies vs Crazy Heart ???

She knows why......what a beautiful movie. My god the scenery and sound‽?? Unparalleled.

One of the best scenes since the beginning of cinema. Unreal.

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

The wind, though.

¡Jesús saltando mierda! ¡Realmente me cabrea, te lo digo!

It's because of this movie I became a film director

This is by far the greatest movie ever made. Its got heart its got soul its got realness. It absolutely reaches right out there and pulls your full attention to it.

I had been three days sober when I saw this movie. I sat in silence I wasn’t even aware, my face was covered in tears. I don’t trust happiness I never have I never will.

Man what a scene. Almost feels like you shouldn’t even be there . Truly great seldom talked about film . I think it’s Robert Duvall’s best or certainly one of them .

Powerful scene

One of the best movies ever.

One of the most moving scenes in a movie, any movie. I feel his loneliness.

A underrated and sadly forgotten movie . But a absolutely Incredible scene . It’s stayed with me since the first time I saw it . It’s not really like it’s a movie character saying it . He made his character so real that it really felt like you where watching one of your own family members say it . I mean it truly resonates with you . Duvall had a Lotta great performances in his movie career . However None as phenomenal as the one in this movie .

My best movie ever!!!

There’s a reason for everything and for everything as a reason

One of the greatest acting performances!

Sing it the way you feel it.

My favorite movie. Always was.

This scene cuts to the quick. It captures what everyone feels but can't admit verbally or internally. Happiness is a vapor. There is just enough there to get a sense of it, but if you reach and try to grasp it - it's gone. People will ruin their lives chasing it. Chemical dependence is a good example of that. I like the way Duvall comes across in this scene. He plays it as a man who is on the edge of absolute emotional break-down but he's holding on to the edge by his fingernails. What I'm about to say is not very positive or uplifting but I hope for those who read this it can/will be interpreted as just reality and not pessimism: Life is more about set back than advancements. You'll experience more loss than wins. I think if you know and recognize this, you can have joy and a greater sense of happiness in life. - - “Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” ― Jenkin Lloyd Jones

It's my favorite line in Hollywood movies. It's big, the meaning is timeless.

Great scene, from a magnificent movie. Pity it's in the wrong aspect ratio.

Hands down,one of the best movies i have ever seen and one of the best performances by Robert Duvall..
