Watched Cyrano (2021) last night and I cannot get over the moment where the soldiers/guards begin to sing “Wherever I Fall”.
I have a wife, I haven’t seen. Since lilacs bloomed in Saint-Hippolyte,
she always wears them in her hair,
she let’s them fall down everywhere.
I can see her in the glowing light dressing without a sound.
I promised I’d be home all right
But I gotta lay this body down
So take this letter to my wife
And tell her that I loved my life
And tell my boys, the Lord he found me.
When I say their names out loud, they’re all around me.
Tell them not to cry at all.
Heaven is wherever I fall.
and this:
I have a girl, I think I love her
Should have told her, instead I told her mother
I gave her chocolates, I bought a ring
But I never told her anything
But I can see her in every detail now
Turning in my mind
I barely knew that girl at all
But I will love her till the end of time
So take this letter to my girl
Tell her that I saw the whole world
Say that right before I fell
I said her name out loud: Isabel
Tell her not to cry at all
Heaven is wherever I fall
…and this:
I have a father, he isn’t well
Thinks he might be going to hell
He was a sinner, he liked to fight
So I don’t know, he might be right
I can see him every Sunday morning
Diving into the fray
He wasn’t one of God’s best men
But I loved him anyway
So take this letter to him, please
Tell him I can’t wait to see him
I went in first, I rang the bell
I called his name out loud and I gave ‘em hell
So tell him not to cry at all
Heaven is wherever I fall
Thinking about how even though Roxanne is about to marry Christian, pledge her life to his, she still only trusts Cyrano to read de Guiche’s letter. She places her full trust in him, and only him.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I love that Roxanne is not punished in the narrative for wanting an intelligent man to fall in love with her/she can fall in love with. Her frustration at Christian’s bumbling is completely valid and his and Cyrano’s deception is taken as the wrong thing it is
Cyrano and Roxanne. (Drawn on iPad using procreate)
I really loved the movie, Peter Dinklage has the most beautiful singing voice. Pure romance on screen. And Haley Bennet is utterly ethereal.
