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

"Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else..."

The way she just falls to her knees crying god I miss you hits so hard. I miss my mom more than anything

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 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.

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.

I wish I could be a kid hiking the PCT with my grandmom, my lama, and my dog. I also want to hug them all and say everything will be ok.

To this day, this film is masterful. RIP Jean-Marc. I miss you so much.

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.

I cry over this everytime, my dad sang this everytime he shaved/showered! I sure miss him!

I don't understand why this movie doesn't have hardly any mainstream recognition.

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😢😢😢😢😢😢

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.

Thanks for uploading! This was the most powerful scene in the movie for me

This scene broke my heart. I was watching it on a plane one night and I couldn’t stop the tears. Such a beautiful movie.

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.

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

“I miss you....God I miss you.”

My favorite scene from the movie 'Wild'.. Started to cry when the child starts crying Red river valley..😭

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.

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*

OMG this part makes me cry every single time! 💙💙💙

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!

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.

When Reese Witherspoon was crying, it made me feel like I wanted to give her a hug. :'(

Can we talk about how cute that little guy is? 😍😍😍

What a powerful scene, the singing of the kid must be like a light from heaven struck right through her soul

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 😊

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.

The most touching and beautiful scene in the movie 💚 it makes me cry every time...

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."

Thanks for the wild. This is make me always tears in my eyes. And i ll start to take a little walk. I miss you mom n dad

One of my favorite scenes in the movie.

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 ❤️❤️

Saw this entire movie and I am stuck with this song listening to it on repeat.

Stunningly beautiful scene in an incredibly moving film. It exists in us all. Living your best life. Choose it and resist anger

The best song ever i heard.... I loved this little boy

Amazing scene. And the back shot of she kneeling down and crying might have been inspired from The Virgin Spring....

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.

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 .

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😪

one of my fav scenes ever!

A really great movie and great acting by Reese Whiterspoon as well as Laura Dern.

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.

i watched to this almost 15687 times already

Thx for posting. watched this movie so many times and then my aunt died suddenly and I wanted to hear and see this song. really hits home now.

I cry every time I watch this damn scene.

I loved the movie. I loved how the story unfolded. And this particular shot made me cry.

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!

It;s more than a scene in a movie, kids.... it's how It Is, how things are. Bless

the best scene from Wild...

i just watched this movie and i love all the songs from this movie . they are meaningful song.

I have not even seen this film yet and watching this scene brought me to tears. I can relate to this so much. Thank you so much for sharing.

Dust... In my eyes...

By far the best scene of the movie

Awesome raw movie and the singing boy inspired me to practice this song so I can sing it to the one I love. He lives far away

Touched by this scene in the film - thanks for uploading it!

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 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. ❤

The most powerful scene from a great film. I see Reese Witherspoon through completely different eyes after seeing this film.

This really is the best part of the entire movie . without a doubt . Healing , Connecting with others, earth/Gaia and Hiking your own hike .. 🙏🙏🙏💙❤💜

that boy needs an Oscar he straight broke my heart

Nice clip, one of the best from this movie, and a great song!

Beautiful.

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.

Yes, this is my favourite scene from a truly amazing movie. Thank you so much for posting :)

Thank you for such a beautiful scene!

It takes a lot to make me cry. But for some reason this just hits the right chord.

Everytime i feel tirre with life i go back watch this scene

I sometimes visit this page to hear this song🥺 So comforted..ty

beautiful scene

Like no other movie scene I've ever seen, this scene destroys me.

Thanks for the great upload

3번이상 봐도 또보고싶다,태어나서 누굴위해 심금을 울리는 노래를 불러본적 있었나 싶다, 자연인으로 지내다보면 모든순간이 아쉽고 만지고싶다

we're all just chasing childhood joy

This is so well done.

beautiful movie!!!!

one of the most poerful scene ive seen

This scene so strong I cant explain

i hope someday that innocence will breaks my confused mind

This scene still makes me cry.

I freaking love this movie

i cried when theu boy sang. i knew it went straight to her heart too

Just watched the movie. Love the story.

beautiful

“My mother is a singer, she taught me many songs” RIP Mom

Oh, how sadly I relate to the final 10 seconds . . . . .

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 scene always brakes me and i pride myself on being tough inside,so strange.

this is indeed the best scene

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 am Reese in life right now 💔

I liked the scene, but I'm a music freak and I'd never heard that tune before, and now I have, so thanks "Wild"! One more thing, I watched the new Gilmore Girls thing, can't remember what they called the new one but anyway I got a good laugh how they poked fun at this movie lol. So many people want to tell someone else's story these days. Live your own life people, because if you do, don't worry you'll have your own original story to tell one day. Some people write about what they've done and things they've accomplished etc... But we could all probably have a book or movie about the things that happen to all of us, and it would appeal to someone somewhere.

Ce passage est vraiment bouleversant!!

Great movie.

I was watching this movie and constantly being reminded of my friend who lost her son. He was a twin and she has been lost ever since that day. She always called them her 'Suns' instead of 'Sons.' His name was Kyle. When it came to this scene, Kyle saying his name and then singing about taking away the sunshine I broke down and cried like a baby. It was like I experienced a little bit of her pain and it was truly awful.

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

He sings it better than anyone else 👍
