  General Comment:i didn't really see that movie, but now I really want to cuz I have heard several great things about it. anyways, I first heard this song at some point when I really felt like I was about to have a mental breakdown. My ex girlfriend stole from me, lived with me, played me, said nothing but shit about me even though I was incredibly sweet to her. she really fucked my head up. then I found out that few of best were sorta being extra phoney with me after a whole fuckin decade of great times. My uncles were also talkin about me as being a huge failure let-down in the family. I was havin such a horrible pain in my heart and in my soul, when i really heard this song and i constantly listened to it to just let my worrys fade away. I almost feel like this song was a bit of recovery helper and I still love it.

  General Comment:The song is played in both the beginning and the ending of the film. In the beginning it is on a cassette he is playing which he then tosses out the window.

  General Comment:THIS SONG IS **SO MUCH MORE** THAN ABOUT TWO PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP!!!!
  
  This song is about EVERYTHING!
  
  ALL LIFE.
  
  THE UNIVERSE.
  
  and EVERYTHING.
  
  ALL OF US.
  
  Living here together on this tiny freakin planet. All packed in.
  
  This song holds a special place inside me too.
  I watched this movie in bed on a laptop with my girlfriend of 3 years sleeping next to me... in a relationship plagued with disastrous problems and conflict. Intense passion. The end of this movie hit me so hard I also began uncontrollably sobbing when this song came on, and I don't usually cry during movies.
  
  The lessons of the movie are VERY true, and we should all really be more aware of the deeper meaning of this, and when something hurts, take a step back out of yourself and look at your situation from an outside perspective, and with a little time, everything will become clear... and in the bigger picture, everything's not too bad... because we LEARN from ours, AND OTHERS mistakes.
  
  We are all connected. All of us. Everything.
  
  We are here to learn from each other, and grow. Learn as much as you can. We don't have much time.
  
  We need to be good to each other, and do what makes sense, in the big picture.
  
  I feel like some of you commenting on here just don't quite get it.... :(
  
  but hey, Everybodys gotta learn sometime.
  
  ;)
