UCMChats: The Last Song


So both Laura and I have both been writing these for a few years now, and sometimes we even accidentally write one for the same movie, but we have never truly collaborated. We decided to remedy that by simultaneously enjoying a current offering on Netflix Instant watch and chatting while we did so.


The transcript below is edited for clarity, obviously, and also for "time," since there was a lot of shit that wasn't really necessary, but it's still really. Fucking. Long. So just be forewarned. You could also take the approach of watching this fine cinematic venture yourself (since it's on Instant Watch) and having us "there" with you, in a totally non-creepy way. Whatever you like.


In any event, this is an experiment, so any feedback you have about how this is formatted is appreciated, or if there are points of confusion you need clarified, please let us know.


AND NOW: THE LAST SONG.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[it is a FIRE]

Laura: fire!

Anna: metaphorical fire, i bet

Laura: probably

[Miley Cyrus GLARES out the CAR WINDOW as the car goes over a BRIDGE to a NEW LIFE]

Laura: he shall now be "dirty jonas"

Miley is the weakest "rebel" ever

no stealin', no drankin'

Anna: don't drink, don't smoke...what DO you do?

Laura: woof

[Dirty Jonas tries to get UP ON HER but she is REPULSED but her friend is still MAD because obviously it’s MILEY’S FAULT for being so HOT]

Anna: hey there, dirty jonas

Laura: everyone is so warm for miley's form

[Miley goes HOME to the STRAINS of a CONCERTO]

Anna: dad's a stained glass artisan AND a composer?

Laura: dreamboat!

Anna: hubba hubba!

Laura: does she have a retainer in?

Laura: i'm so confused

Anna: when did she stop hating him?

Laura: when did he stop being engaged?

Anna: when did they get to the aquarium?

[they SWIM in a TANK]

Anna: "i really enjoyed my time with you"

"best 45 minutes ever"

[they SMOOCH and the camera FLIES AROUND THEM]

Laura: EWWWWWWWW

Laura: this family is terrible

Anna: no relationship in this movie makes any sense

[they go on SWIMMING DATES and are “CUTE”]

Laura: ew ew ew

Laura: maybe

that would make this more interesting

[they go on MORE DATES than involve LYING on the BEACH and DRAWING on SHOES]

[Miley SPIES a PIANO]

Anna: all rich people have pianos

Anna: even if they don't play them

Laura: what is the timeline here??

[they go INSIDE so she can REVEAL that she plays the PIANO]

Anna: play that piano, miles

Laura: ponytail for maximum musicality

Anna: she has to secure her hair

to play piano

Anna: not her hands

Laura: fake hands

Anna: piano edit

Laura: piano faces

Anna: piano acting

this is actually kind of awkward

it's like when someone is reading the long note in your birthday card

while you're sitting there

Laura: also, i don't even think that piece was all that hard

piano makeout

Anna: "i want to do you on this piano"

piano breakthrough for miles!

"i played today"

Laura: all it takes is a boy to bring you out of your funk

Anna: yes

[the dad makes a HEARTFELT CONFESSION]

Anna: OH SHIT

DAD BURNED DOWN THE CHURCH

Laura: dad burned down the church?

Anna: apparently

[there is a BIG VOLLEYBALL MATCH]

Anna: is this more or less gay than the top gun volleyball scene?

they're trying for less

with this rock music

Laura: it's certainly less self-aware

love improved my spike!

sponsored by crocs

the official shoe of miley cyrus fans

so many high-fives

Anna: is the brother friends now?

everyone loves each other now?

Laura: so....she loves her dad now?

Anna: "why do you come to this church so much?"

"well, i burned it down"

Laura: this is a pretty laid back discussion/confession

Anna: chill arson rap sesh

Laura: so that was dad in the first scene

Anna: dad's gonna die

Laura: DYING DAD IN THE SECOND ACT

well, it's sparks

Anna: if he doesn't die, i'll be pissed

Laura: me too

Anna: old reliable sparks

[Miley is NOT CONVINCED that her dad BURNED the CHURCH]

Laura: what??

Laura: it was an accident

[Rolf CONFESSES to burning the CHURCH]

Anna: see? FRAMED BY ROLF

[meanwhile, on a DIRT ROAD]

[her “FRIEND” yells at Miley for NO REASON]

Anna: ummmm why is it miley's fault

Laura: everything is miley's fault

[Miley gives her MONEY that her dad gave her for a DRESS for the WEDDING of the HOT DUDE’S SISTER]

Laura: oh no, her fancy dress money!

Anna: don’t give her your DRESS MONEY

miley's a GOOD PERSON

with MORALS

Laura: little brother will make something faaaaabulous for her to wear

why is little bro nice now?

why do they all love each other so much for no reason

Anna: they act like they hate each other and then they don't

i guess that's family

[she goes SHOPPING with the BROTHER and there is a MONTAGE]

Laura: this kid is retarded

[Kinnear DRIVES her to the WEDDING and gives her DADLY ADVICE]

Laura: NOW he's a dad again?

Anna: he just likes to be dad sometimes

Laura: "with their working-class problems"

[the little brother sees the TURTLES hatching]

Anna: OH SHIT THE TURTLES

Laura: "perfect timing for a turtle hatch!"

Anna: i like how they just abandon and pick up storylines in this movie

Laura: awwwwwww

baby turtles

Anna: ok those turtles are legit cute

GO TO THE SEA

Laura: will knows just what to do

Anna: i think they can find the sea themselves, dumbass

Anna: abandoned

Laura: OH SHIT DAD

Anna: collapsed on the beach!!!!

NEW LIFE OF TURTLES

NEW DEATH OF DAD

Laura: death=rebirth!

[it is a HOSPITAL HALLWAY]

Anna: i was hoping the next shot would be of a gravestone

but a hospital is good too

Laura: lung cancer dad

and suddenly he's super sick

though he has been fine the whole movie

Anna: the beach collapse really got to him

[Miley goes INSANE WITH ANGER]

Laura: RON RAGE

Anna: so angry

Laura: "God, dad, how selfish of you to want to spend time with me!"

Anna: ACTING

WEEP ACTING

Laura: greg kinnear is like "WHERE IS MY PAYCHECK"

Anna: "give me my boat please"

Laura: we can only love someone once they are dying

that is what sparks teaches us

Anna: true love only comes with death

[the little brother GAZES into the OCEAN]

Laura: hahah kid gazes to the ocean

Anna: staring into the ocean is really useful for grief

children love gazing

uh oh

little brother is raging

oh, he's trying to finish the stained glass window

since dead dad won't be able to

Laura: aw

that's kind of sad

Anna: "if i finish this, dad will live"

Laura: that's not how death works, kid

LIFE IS SHITTY

Laura: at least this kid is trying

WINDOW MONTAGE

Anna: Last Days of Dad

Laura: did boyfriend just quit all his jobs?

Laura: and why don't they call their mother??

[Kinnear asks to GO HOME so you KNOW it’s time to DIE]

Laura: aw shit

Anna: shiiiiiiiiit

Laura: barbara hershey style

[they DRIVE past the METAPHORICAL STAINED GLASS WINDOW]

Anna: they finished the window!!

Laura: look, a hideous window!

Anna: the window has a black angel?!?!

Laura: BUT HOW?

it's the only black person in this movie

[the hot dude tells his ARSON FRIEND that he must CONFESS]

Anna: rolf confrontation time!

Laura: you're getting SERVED

that confrontation was easy

Anna: like, really easy

Laura: everything is easy when you're dying!

Anna: it's will's charming manner

[Kinnear FORGIVES Rolf for his ARSON and subsequent FRAMING]

Laura: "let my secret die with me"

Anna: everyone is alternately the most moral and the least

always

[Miley STORMS OFF for some reason]

Laura: Miley hasn't been pissed in like 10 minutes

Anna: why is she pissed NOW?!

the line between love and hate

so thin

Laura: there isn't enough fucking in this movie

Anna: seriously

Laura: but i also don't want there to be

it's not like the hot notebook sex

which is SHOCKINGLY hot

in the notebook you see, like, the moment of entry

it's pretty hardcore

Anna: at least diane lane and richard gere had a classy crossfade

[the MOM returns]

Anna: oh good! mom's back!

Laura: about time, mom

Anna: mom has probably known this whole time

Laura: i'm sure

Anna: and then they'll hate her for knowing

and then love her again for no reason

[the MOM wants the kids to GO so the dad can DIE]

Laura: "we should just abandon him here"

Anna: "leave him to die"

"like a dog"

[Miley decides to STAY because she has been MEAN to him]

Anna: i still really don't understand this timeline

Laura: she fought with him for like a week

and then she frenched some dude and she was fine

[Kinnear says GOODBYE to his SON]

Laura: this might be touching

Anna: he's not going anywhere, buddy

he'll be with you

Laura: "every time a light shines"

Anna: in cancer heaven

Laura: i'm the light in your poorly-constructed window

Anna: "i am that black angel"

[the MOM and BROTHER leave and Miley finds some LETTERS]

Laura: DAD LETTERS

Anna: love letter subplot?!

Laura: .....why are they there?

dad love letters

Anna: when did he write these?

Laura: i think whilst they were estranged

Anna: for those...months?

Laura: i think since they got divorced

you know sparks cried himself to sleep while writing this

Anna: "i am a genius"

Laura: get a job, cyrus

Anna: her job is chilling with dad

she has to honor his memory later

Laura: that's true

Anna: via piano

music and love are going to bring you joy”*

WOW THANKS DAD

GREAT LESSON

Laura: that was super profound

[he TRIES to finish the SONG he is writing, but CANNOT due to MYSTERY CANCER]

Anna: the song is called "for ronnie"

SHE CAN FINISH IT

Laura: she will compose it

without looking at the music?

Anna: i'm pretty sure the music is bringing her joy right now

Laura: she looks pretty joyful

[she DOES NOT]

Anna: he's going to drift into death

as she plays

Laura: yeah he is

the song will kill him

this sounds like the dramatic music in a jane austen film

Anna: "dad, i finished it!!"

"oh you died"

Laura: WHOOPS YOU DAID

Anna: when people die they always knock over their glass

that's how you know

Laura: and their head slowly lolls to the side

Anna: always a loll

Laura: is this a movie?

this is like 8 different movies

[there is a FUNERAL and everyone is NICE to her even if they were MEAN before]

Laura: this whole movie is just people sucking up to miley

she's just SO AMAZING

Anna: miley being retarded or a bitch

and everyone loving her

it's kind of like real life

[Miley starts to give a EULOGY but then realizes what she MUST DO]

Anna: play the song

THE LAST SONG

"i wrote this song with my dad, and i think it's PRETTY COOL"

"he's PRETTY DEAD"

Laura: the black angel!

Anna: the light!

in the window!!

[the SUN shines through the UGLY WINDOW and you FEEL his PRESENCE though he is DEAD]

Laura: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Anna: IT'S DAD!!!!

Laura: oceans of LOLs

the sea turtles are LOLing

Anna: the raccoon is LOLing

that random elderly woman at the beginning who never came back is LOLing

Laura: so many funeral scenes in sparks movies

Anna: he probably just has an army of extras in his compound

for funerals

[everyone is REAL NICE to her]

Anna: death brings people together

Laura: it suuuure does

[Miley starts to PACK her THINGS but sees the HOT DUDE staring at the OCEAN]

Anna: everyone just LOVES to gaze

the ocean is like tv in this movie

Laura: he is wearing a deep v-neck of emotion

Anna: "i heard"

"about juilliard"

Laura: from whom??

Anna: "from no one"

[he tells her he has DEFIED his family to go to COLUMBIA, which is GREAT because she is going to JUILLIARD]

Anna: 1 train romance!!!!

Laura: 10 minutes in manhattan and he will FORGET miles

[he PICKS her up and they KISS AWKWARDLY]

Laura: cause people love to pick people up when they kiss them

Anna: is this the end?

Laura: i guess

so what have we learned?

Anna: 1. turtles = life

Laura: if your dad is a country singer with one hit, you will have a terrible movie career

if you live in north carolina, sooner or later you will be an extra in a nicholas sparks funeral scene

Anna: just buy some black right now

beaches are the best place to learn about yourself/relationships

ocean staring is fun

Laura: walk like lurch through volleyball games and you will find true luv

Anna: drink more milkshakes

in case a hot dude spills yours

Laura: crowbar fights will end in disgrace for your rich family

Anna: but then be forgotten entirely

Laura: a raccoon's favorite meal is delicious turtle eggs

salted with the tears of a grumpy teen

Laura: gay brothers are super awesome shopping companions

Anna: they have wisdom beyond their years

and can finish a stained glass window with no adult supervision

feist will sell out and put her nice cool song into a nicholas sparks film

Anna: i can't hate on that

i'd sell out in 1 second

Laura: yeah, there's mad cash involved

Anna: if given the opportunity

Laura: agreed

everyone sells out

that's the real message of this movie

Anna: music and love will bring you joy

but not as much as money

Laura: that's it

done and done

Anna: GOODNIGHT FOLKS

Laura: like baby sea turtles to the ocean

Anna: find your way
