“You Fight Like Hell To Stay Alive!“

My dad and I watched this flick the other night and this moment really stood out to me as someone who frequently battles severe depression. William Holden is the grizzled old man returning to his Outback home and Ricky Schroeder is the kid who’s just lost his vacationing parents in a tragic RV-over-the-cliff accident. The kid is understandably shell-shocked, but in this moment William Holden reminds him of the instinct to survive and why it’s so important to rekindle that in our hearts during tough times. “Some day you’re going to die, just like some day I’m going to die. But until then, you fight like hell to stay alive, you get that?!” – William Holden, The Earthling (1980) More info on the movie here:
