“There is no point why we live” — scene from To The Bone (2017)

Ellen: You're not reassuring me doctor.

Dr. William Beckham: I can't reassure you. This idea you have, that there's a way to be safe, it's childish and cowardly. It stops you from experiencing anything, including anything good.

Ellen: You don't think I feel bad enough already? I know I'm messed up, but you're supposed to teach me how not to be.

Dr. William Beckham: You know how. Stop waiting for life to be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you. You don't need another person lying to you. Things don't all add up, but you are resilient. Face some hard facts and you could have an incredible life.

Ellen: That's your pearl of wisdom? Grow a pair?

Dr. William Beckham: That's a more concise way of putting it. Yeah.

I feel like he wasn't even acting there, like thats just the hurt Keanu Reeves channeling his life into this scene.

[noelle]

Honestly? She didn't like it but this is exactly what she needed to hear. Life isn't fair. No one is gonna be perfect and come into your life to save you. You have to want it. You have to want to live. You have to find the reason. The simple fact is that you have to love that one thing and love living for it more than you hate feeling sad. There's no answer.

[palcada]

I need to come back a couple of times a month to watch this because it keeps things in perspective.

[beatscape]

There's something about Keanu that makes me look up to him as a man of honour and respect.

[kennethlui]

He was very genuine here like he was telling from his life experience. That is a very strong point. We always want people to help us when we are in trouble. But the best person to help us is ourselves.

[inspiringhumans]

I will watch this the first thing every day I wake up

[danielbautista]

Keanu Reeves really deserve an Oscar nomination for this film

Best Supporting Actor

this scene. this scene is my life. ive been anorexic for 2 years, and i know that what my therapist says is true, but i still wait for something to "save" me from myself. i know im the only one who can help myself but i cant. i only feel safe when i stay away from things that can hurt me (going out, socializing, falling in love, getting a hobby) and try to be in control by starving myself. controlling what goes in my mouth gives me a false feeling of safety and relief. ive tried to recover many times, and every time i relapse i feel like im coming home after a long and exhausting day at work, but 100 times more intensely. i know it will kill me one day and i dont want to die. i just want to be safe. it also has to do with the fact that i refuse to grow up. during my childhood i had two loving parents, unconditional love and attention, i was safe and small and clueless and everything was fine. so instead of trying to be strong and start living and growing as a person, im trying to get that back. be smaller. have my family's attention. it sucks. i know exactly what i do wrong, but i dont want to leave it. im scared. i havent been happy or excited in years because while i try to keep myself away from pain and disappointment, i also keep myself away from good things, like the doctor said in the movie.

Anyone else specifically searched for this clip? I saw this on reels one time and it's a really good value to live by, I feel. I am a regular 21yr old, relatively healthy and this really gives me a reality check.

[Tismuchya]

I just knew there had to be a clip of this on YouTube cuz man...these words got to me!

[alienillusin]

I related to Eli so much in this scene. It made me bawl like a baby, and I never cry over movies.

[lainerichardson]

Keanu lost River Phoenix, then his baby was born stillborn and his girlfriend died in a car accident. His duster developed leukemia.
I feel when they gave him these likes, they were part of him. Acting can be catharsis. I think the roles he takes many times now, are pieces at times of his life. As do other actors.

[AngelaSlone-gd]

Life is not easy and bad things happen fo good people everyday. I love keanu in any movie be is a natural

[cungcung]

Lily Collins : My doctor is a man of focus, commitment and sheer will

[katherydeniz]

Been there.
It's actually a mess, hard to accept it, but at the end everything is on
Now I eat

[anchitadua]

That's when you realise Neo really did wake up.
