rewatched Stand Tall and got to thinking about how when Luke shows up on stage and starts singing with Julie the camera cuts sharply to Trevor and Carrie in the audience, who are both looking at former best friends, and one of them is freaking out and one of them is realizing she's been wrong about her former friend, and both of them are sitting there stunned and where is this thought going I don't know but boy is it interesting-
