Musical Moments In TV/Film: Garden State - The Only Living Boy In New York



How is that music can have such a profound impact on movie and television scenes?  As a member of the audience, a song can often communicate with me more effectively than the actual dialog or imagery taking place on the screen.  My first example of this takes place in my favorite scene from 2004's Garden State.  Call me a hipster for liking the movie, that's fine.  But it's the inclusion of Simon & Garfunkel's classic "The Only Living Boy In New York" that makes this particular section ring.  "Good luck exploring the infinite abyss!"
