His obvious love as Lloyd for Diane had to be crystal clear." It had to become a defining moment. The song was used twice in the 1989 US Cameron Crowe film Say Anything, as well as its trailer. He had to hold up the boombox, and on his face, the whole story about the character, Lloyd Dobler, had to shine. This was the last take in a place across the street from a 7-Eleven on Lankershim in the Valley. Fox Home Entertainment brings Say Anything to Blu-ray for the first time as a 20th Anniversary Edition in the now-standard eco-friendly keepcase. Crowe said, "My whole argument was, 'Be defiant with the holding of the boombox'. He didn't love the scene, he didn't quite understand it - he certainly does now - and he wanted to be more laid-back."Ĭrowe found the right direction that made the scene work for his star he was able to put the now-classic look of silent dignity on Cusack's face. That iconic Say Anything boombox scene almost had an entirely different soundtrack Turns out In Your Eyes wasnt the first choice. Crowe said that film star "John felt that Lloyd was kowtowing too much by holding up the boombox, and that it was too subservient a move. The 1992 classic film Wayne’s World was made even better thanks to the singalong car scene, where the duo and their friends sing the larger-than-life Queen hit Bohemian Rhapsody.This scene. "All the guy has to do is show up outside the girl's house and blast just the right song."įilm director Cameron Crowe in 2002 in an interview recalled that was the last thing shot on the last day of filming with the last moment of sunlight. For teenagers especially, it points out that a guy, one who may be damaged, can sometimes win the girl of his dreams. Because if Say Anything's epic boombox scene is any. But that doesn't mean that the dated technology and pop culture references don't, either. There is truly something special about this scene. A good romantic comedy never goes out of style. In the 1989 film, Say Anything, just at dawn (the beginning of the day), Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) plays "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, the song that was playing the first time he and Diane (Ione Skye) slept together, on a boombox under her open bedroom window.
