[ZOE]
Why should I play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Such a great son and wonderful friend
Oh, don't the tears just pour?

I could curl up and hide in my room
There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
I could give in to all of the gloom
But tell me, tell me what for

Why should I have a heavy heart?
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?

Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
I will sing no requiem tonight

[LARRY]
I'll keep the light on for you

[LARRY, sung]
I gave you the world, you threw it away
Leaving these broken pieces behind you
Everything wasted, nothing to say
So I can sing no requiem

[CYNTHIA]
I hear your voice, I feel you near
Within these words, I finally find you
And now that I know that you are still here
I will sing no requiem tonight

[ZOE & LARRY]
Why should I have a heavy heart?

Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
(I can see your light)

I will sing no requiem
Tonight
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
No one lights a candle to remember
No, no one mourns at all
When they lay them down to sleep

So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
After all you put me through
Don't say it wasn't true
That you were not the monster
That I knew

'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark

[LARRY]
I will sing no requiem

I think it's interesting that there are two completely different ways that you can interpret Zoey's part of the song. A girl who doesn't want to admit she doesn't care her brother is dead, or a girl who thought she hated her brother but doesn't want to admit there are some good memories in there, too.

No the messed up part is that the the only good “memories” are lies from Evan. Connor had no redeeming qualities - Evan’s lies make he feel this way. It’s especially heartbreaking for his mom to sing “in these words I finally find you” because those are all Evan’s words not Connor’s

I really love how the film allows for more freedom in how you show parts of the story. The shots of them going about their lives and people around them looking at them is simply not possible in the theater version but it adds so much to the performance. Not to diss the theater version, of course. I just love these extra bits of expression the film format allows

Yeah it’s too bad this and Sincerely me are the only two how take advantage of the formula. Most of the others are incredibly boringly shot.

@marallenrondez2606

1y↑14

Also, Requiem is objectively one of the best songs of the movie given the context of the story. While Sincerely Me is the best song for most and the most fun in the musical, Requiem was a more touching and heartfelt song, and not surprisingly coming the from the family who just lost a son and brother to Zoe.

@arthurkohn7957

28w↑2

I like the shots, but i think they are poorly timed because the way each family member comes in is very specifically heartbreaking (Zoe: why should I lie and say
Dad & Zoe: my world has gone / dark without
Mom: / I can see
Mom Dad & Zoe: your light)

and by not staging them together (or even just having them lip-sync) you can’t really see how each member is saying something totally different but all building towards “your light” — and that’s much harder to follow in this version…

I know a lot of people didn't like this movie mainly because of the weaker vocal performances like Kaitlin Dever (Zoe) and Julianne Moore (Heidi), but they proved in nearly all of their scenes that what they lacked in singing ability they more than made up for with their acting, and that's part of what I love about the movie. Kaitlin Dever brought Zoe's pain and anger to life on the big screen and it was believable. Julianne Moore brought Heidi's wit and her love for her son to life on the big screen and it showed. It's not always about who's the best singer

@mephistopheles5735

2y↑121

The saddest thing about this song is in the musicals original script it is sung by both Conner and Zoe in the moments before he takes his life. In it a part of the lyric by Conner goes something along the lines of "I don't want a requiem, I won't get a requiem" as if implying that he doesn't believe he deserves one, it also gives an insight (much like the book I think) into his last thoughts, his last moments and the last call he makes to Miguel where he calls to say goodbye. Miguel tries to dissuade him from taking his life but Conner hangs up with a "..too late". Again not sure if these were in the book, it's been a while since I last read it but I can say in the original script we are given insight into who the ACTUAL Conner is, not Evans made up version. And we are able to see that like Evan, Conner is extremely broken on the inside. He also says something along the lines in his version of requiem that mentions"...being a burden to the people I love" in reference to his family.
Long paragraph ik but that's what makes this song hurt so much more is knowing it was originally a duet between two siblings before one dies.

Also to note: In the original version, he also talks about whether or not they'll find him 'under the tree' in the park, which is confirmed where they did find him although not mentioned in the revised version of the script. Apparently, (might be wrong) he left school halfway through the day (as in the day where he meets Evan) and takes his life that afternoon using pills.

Extra note: it's sad that Conner was in fact right, he knew (or at least he thought) they'd be better off without him, hence they would not sing a requiem for him. Since he didn't see his death as a loss for them, only a gain. He pretty much called it, saying he wouldn't get a requiem because he knew (or he thought) he hadn't done anything to deserve one.
Edit: it also makes me think of "if I could tell her" because it was obvious he held some sort of protectivness over Zoe at school and some of that song is what Connor might have actually wanted to say.

Isn't the whole point of the song to show us that she's unapologetic about not feeling sad, because her brother was so horrible to her? It's even in the lyrics, "I could curl up and hide in my room, there in my bed still sobbing tomorrow [...] But tell me, tell me what for?". Zoe's crying is totally out of character for her at that moment, and it directly contrasts with what she's saying. Now, you could tell me it was an artistic choice, to give the song more nuance, but it just doesn't work with her storyline. "You Will Be Found" marks a turning point for her: it's the moment where she can finally cry because she was made to believe her brother wasn't actually that bad. If she cries during "Requiem", then her storyline completely changes from what was intended in the musical. And I think the musical's take on Zoe is much more interesting than the movie's. Sorry for the rant, but this is reason #83653 why this movie shouldn't have been made...

maybe she just scared herself with the driving and she is shock-crying ?

@maddiewatchesstuff

@Anna JAMS yeah, I guess that could work. I still don’t understand why she went driving though, and why she is unhinged while doing so. I don’t feel like Zoe would let her brother’s death impact her that much. obviously she is angry but for me it was a bit too intense.

@bailierohr1879

@Curtain Calls see I actually like that they included that scene because I don’t think she is necessarily crying for her brother or that she went driving for because of the loss of him. I think that for some people driving is just an outlet. Maybe she needed to deal with her emotions or just get away from everyone else who thinks that she should be crying and dealing with the loss differently. Everyone grieves in their own way whether at this moment in time Zoe was grieving or not, I think it was just her way of dealing with everything and shutting the world out.

I can see your point but I like to think it was just from being overwhelmed especially being labeled as the ‘dead kids sister’. Or maybe it was the fact she genuinely considered driving as dangerously as she did and she was so close to k*ll*ng herself. But maybe that’s just my understanding of it

people cry for so many reasons. the character is so overwhelmed, even if she is not grieving in a way that she would be expected to. that in itself could be a reason to cry

Kaitlyn Dever is probably the best part of the movie. Unlike Ben Platt, she was believable as a teenager. While her voice is not as strong as either Laura Dreyfuss or Mallory Bechtel (my 2 favorite Zoes), she sings well and expertly conveys Zoe's conflicting emotions about her brother.

Came across this for the first time... Know DEH in the songs only and the plot line, have had friends rave about the stage show etc. Have watched the songs performances from the west end on here etc. As far as I know, Amy Adams, Danny and Kaitlyn have some training in Music but they aren't trained specifically from theatre/ a musical background? (Know Adams sang in Enchanted etc). If that's the case and this is a a live (on screen) performance, then for what it is, as others have said, it works musically and their acting carries it through. It's not as strong vocally as you'd have in the west end casts but you couldn't expect it be, plus, thank god they at least sung it as it is supposed to be sung on the page and not what Tom Hooper called 'live" of not even singing anything remotely sounding like a song from Les Mis anymore!!

The Murphy Dad being a "Stepdad" was such a fresh change to the movie and it made more sense. But this movie is still underwhelming. Justice for "Anybody have a Map"

God, one of the best things of this musical is that it shows how everyone is affected by Evan and what he do. The parents perspective makes you empathize with them.

@Valeria Makes sense. Pino’s Cuban-American. So with casting him & Amy Adams as the parents, he either had to be made a stepdad or cast half Cuban-American actors to play Zoe & Connor
