“You don’t talk that much, you hardly ever sing, but when I see you do that, it’s who you are. It’s what makes me feel you. Mike, you gotta know by now, when I see you dance…it’s why I fell in love with you.”
This is just the part with Tina, but I didn’t see this on my dash yet and it needed to be there. It’s such a beautiful moment and to know that this is something Mike knows so strongly that Tina can come into his mind and tell him this and it over powers the fear of his father, that’s powerful. Do you guys realize how big of a moment this is? It doesn’t matter that she wasn’t actually there, in fact I think the fact that she wasn’t there makes this moment even more meaningful, because she didn’t have to be there. She’s always there, she is always with him. Her belief in him is so strong that he carries it with him and it comes to him when he needs it most. He hears his father’s words in his mind telling him that dancing is foolish, something to do at weddings, not make a career out of, and then Tina comes to him and tells him it’s who he is, it’s when she sees the real him, that’s how she fell in love with him, and for him to follow her words instead of his fathers, for her to make that strong of an impact on him in the last little over a year, vs his father’s affect in the last 18 or so, that’s a big deal.
