After first watching the Baz Luhrmann movie, Elvis in the theater I was so moved by the song, If I Can Dream, I did a lot of searching online to learn more about the song and how Elvis ended his ‘68 Special with it.
I remember some in some comment thread somewhere mentioning how the song had made some actor cry. He added a small, short clip of video of what he was talking about and others corrected him and said that video was from a movie.
I’m searching for that movie. All I really remember from the short clip was it seemed to be someone like Woody Harrelson or Matthew McConaughey or someone similar in style. The essence of the scene was how this character was somehow away from home (or maybe off earth all together?) and was viewing the end of the ‘68 Special on a television or computer screen and was crying as Elvis sang If I Can Dream.
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
