Running on Empty (1988) - "Fire and Rain" scene

@silicone221 what made u hate river sooooooooooo much

[brisiwinton]

one of my favorite scenes in the movie.. the ending was something else especially when the song fire and rain (as the cast sung it) echoed as the image of river starts to fade..

I absolutely love this scene. It makes me realize that the small things in life, the ones people tend to forget to appreciate, like dancing around and having fun with your family, are just as beautiful, if not more, than so many other things. They all look completely happy and the song and emotion just make this scene absolutely splendid. River would have continued to do great things had he been alive today. RIP<3

I'm listening to this right now

This scene and the end scene with Fire and Rain are so perfect, every time I hear this song now I think of River.

great scene and the first time I ever heard "Fire and Rain". This is how I discovered James Taylor.. while enjoying River Phoenix. 2 birds with 1 stone ;P

[ajalcorn]

@lamagamorgana Me too! It was my first time hearing the song and I fell in love with it. I used to have such a huge crush on River too when I was younger. hehe!

One of the most beautiful scenes in the movie, i love that scene, the song..all together..really beautiful and emotive, i remember when i saw this film with my parents..they loved this scene too, and i'll always remember River listening to this song, may he rest in peace!!!

[sylicone221]

@nikitaxs1 RIVER SHOULD ROT IN HELL TEEHEHEHEHHEHEHEEE.....WORMS ENJOY YOUR MEAL! HEHEHEHHEEE......HATE THAT CUNT HE LOVED TOO, HEHEHEHEEE....BITCH

[ehmlayyyy2913]

@sylicone221 Even if you're trolling, are you fucking retarded? River was quite possibly one of the most amazing people, in all respects, to walk to planet and it's a shame his life was cut so short. You are the exact type of person who makes River's outlook on life of being peaceful and all loving so important because the ignorance you show is astounding. Maybe before you bash on him you should read about him and his life and what he stood for and realize he was actually a really great person.

[sylicone221]

@ehmlayyyy2913 im not trolling i hate him and his ugly girlfriends...they think theyre all that cuz teen idol loved them! BURN IN HELL RIVER U PIECE OF SHIT! WORM FOOD..HOW ARE HE DO DRUGS HEHEHEHEE..WORMS ENJOY...HIS MOM SHOULD HAVE ABORTED HIM
