He's Me Pal (from Ironweed)

[Brian1218548]

Does anyone have this song's lyrics?? Thx!!

[livelyarts49]

Just saw Meryl receive her honors at The 34th Annual Kennedy Center Honors Dec 27, 11

Anne Hathaway sang this song to her in big style on stage. How cool!

Great movie. I remember it well. Powerful. One bittersweet bite of life!

[RollingOrmond]

More would have clapped than that.

[kiwibelt]

She is a fucking  GGEENNIIUUSS!!!!!!!

[apoxalex]

WHO'S DRUNK!?

[BARYJAC]

Devastating, An artist of the first order. What can one say?

[necktieguy1]

At the end of the song, Mr. Nicholson tells Ms. Streep, "You were born to be a star." That is the truth. Ms. Streep, you are loved as much as anyone can love a movie star. Thank for this post.

[necktieguy1]

Absolutely magnificent, Ms. Streep. Thanks for this post. Don't ever take it away. Let the rest of the world see it.

[thewomaninthemoon]

It's amazing that she can make her voice sound bad and worn but still good at the same time,that is a very difficult thing to do.Meryl Streep is just...there are no words to describe her genius.

[veggievampire]

i choked up. i saw this movie when i was younger but i didn't remember this scene. it's so sad. Oh, Meryl, the humanity in you. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[BARYJAC]

This goes through my head, every now and then.

[dan63uk]

Great film, great performance.

[colmcure]

Fantastic.

Does anyone know where i can find out if this song was sung by anyonne else?

I doubt if it can measure up to Meryl but I would still like to hear it.

[esaleop]

UNA DE LAS ESXCENAS CUMBRES DEL CINE CON UNA ACTRIZ PERFECTA, SUBLIME, UNA VERDADERA ACTRIZ. SU ROSTRO RESUME LO QUE SIENTE Y EXPRESA. Por favor alguien sabe letra en espalol de esta canción?.

[Shanniquitie]

why disable embedding? weird.

[NataliaWeronikaD]

jesus... i luv her and him ofcourse. just meryl i luv u 4 ever. u dont need an oscar, everybody will remember you.

[nmonaco]

found it!

[octopussy1234]

This scene might be the best the fighting spirit of the homeless has ever been portrayed on film. And maybe Meryl Streep's best 5 minutes in any movie.

[1laughinggravy]

Meryl Streep, at her best, conveying the lost humanity in all of us.

[1laughinggravy]

Meryl Streep has performed many amazing roles in her career. But in this movie her performance is beyond amazing. She is simply astonishing.

[1laughinggravy]

Meryl Streep has given many outstanding performances, but this role was completely "off the charts." She is simply astonishing!!!!!!!!!!

[skylar1477]

any movie by Meryl...pure sublime!!!

[IliveinMA]

she's amazing in this scene. but throughout the movie, shes more a supporting charachter. should have been nominated for supporting actress

[esaleop]

si alguien pudiera subtitular esta escena y la cancion...Meryl es genio...una escena cumbre del cine de todos los tiempos.

[esaleop]

MERYL es la actriz mas grande, es perfecta,genial,...si alguen pudiera subtitular esta escena y la canción...una escena cumbre del cine.

[camaysar222]

Unforgettable, haunting, painfully sad. I've often wondered if Streep was responsible for the interpretation, or if she was directed. Probably some collaboration involved, but one suspects it is mostly Streep's flaming genius..

[rosaf19]

I think it's cool that Jack Nicholson says "By God, Helen, that's as good as it gets" in this scene, since he later costarred with Helen Hunt in the movie As Good as It Gets.

[MrJonas8901]

One of my all time favorite scenes, just like Elwassa. I think I've played that scene in my head many times with many different songs...oh well.

[gfata111]

I L OVE YOU MERYL

[Rawego]

isn't that something.... :))

[mkervelegan]

so ineffably sad this contrast between fantasy and reality...

[Elwassa]

One of my most favourites scenes.. I don't know why but it makes me smile. :)

[LJD25]

Streep puts me to Sleep....

[kangaroosbraun]

this scene should have clinched the oscar ahead of Cher that year. How the hell did Cher win over this or even Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction

[TallRingo]

I'm no big Cher fan, but she WAS great in Moonstruck. (So were the others you mention.....that's the breaks!)

[timothyiii]

how come i cant find this movie on dvd

[Mike6E]

What country are you in? If you're in the US, you can get it off of the Barnes & Noble site. :)

[timothyiii]

thanks

[laarbe]

This is heartbreaking and superb from the talented and remarkable Meryl Streep. Thanks for the post.

[chilens66]

where i can found the lyric of this great song??

[brandz76]

probably one of the best sceens in motion picture history. just devastating.

possibly the best sceen meryl streep has ever done.

[BARYJAC]

The American Vanessa Redgrave.

[merylpeelsoranges]

this scene is devastating :(

[peterparker820]

for me this is streep's best performance in a movie

[LunaTheLoony]

God I really can't bring myself to watch this,as much as I would want to. Just thinking about this scene makes me sob. :'(

[marginallymental]

Such a beautiful and forgotten movie, redolent with regret and tempered at the end with the softest and faintest of hopes. As weighted-down as the Depression itself and, INHO, better than the Kennedy novel it's based on. All should've received oscars! Certainly Nicholson's best, and one of Streeps too.

[kangaroosbraun]

its NOT forgotten at all

[wotan10950]

This is one of the saddest moments in any Meryl Streep movie, and Meryl excels at sad moments! That's why it's such a pleasure to see her get out there and have some great fun with Mamma Mia. When great acting is called for, you can always call Meryl, but now we know that she can dance and sing and have fun too.

[Live2getherDieAlone]

I think my heart broke into a million pieces, when I realized that she was just imagining the enthusiasm of the audience.

And it's needless to talk about Meryl Streep's performance here, it's the way it ALWAYS is - Flawless

[Mike6E]

This must be one of Meryl's saddest movies. Helen was so kind, and had such high expectations for her life with Francis, but nothing could work out for her. Meryl really delivers. But when doesn't she?

[sweetcurmudgeon]

The warmth and the beauty of her fantasy contrasted against the bleakness and shabbiness of her life is just so fucking devastating.

This scene defines the term compassion.

[alicetheactress]

i agree! beautiful yet depressing!

[italianaxy]

hehe i love thys movie

& this song haha lmao
