At 1:17 in the film, the daughter dies and Mac comes to Dixie's bedroom, where Dixie is lying on a large, luxurious bed.

Mac: Hello, Dixie.

Dixie is turning around, wiping away tears, and smiling at Mac: Hi, Mac.

At this point they may have reconciled.

Then Dixie asked: Why has God done this to me?

This is the same as the few why Mac asked his daughter-in-law in the field later. They both threw the guilt of killing their daughters to mysterious and elusive fates, not each other.

Before her daughter died, Dixie saw Mac backstage at the concert and hysterically warned him not to approach her daughter; in the conversation when Harry wanted to buy the rights to Mac's new song, Harry blamed Dixie's crazy controlling desire for the girl's departure, and Mac responded to this There was no objection either.

And at this moment, Dixie was lying on the bed and said quietly: That is our little girl, Mac.

I think if there is a follow-up to this story, Dixie can also meet her Tender Mercy, after all, the name of the film is "Tender Mercies ".

There's another question I can't figure out, why when Sue Anne asked Mac if he ever sang that DOVE song, he said no? Can someone clarify?

    The one-month long download is also worth it. Horton's little plot is really well made up. I love the part where my Mac came home late at night but wasn't drunk~ We lost and found, no why, just tender mercies of God.

Tender Mercies quotes

  • Sue Anne: There was a song you used to sing to me when I was little, I think. It was somethin' about a dove. Mama said she never heard you sing it to me, but - I think it went somethin' about a "on the wings of a snow-white dove, he sends his somethin'-somethin' love."

    Mac Sledge: I don't remember that. I don't.

  • Mac Sledge: [singing] When Jesus went down, To the waters that day, He was baptized, In the usual way, When it was done, God blessed his soul, He sent him his love, On the wings of a dove, On the wings of a snow-white dove, He sends his pure sweet love, A sign from above, On the wings of a dove...
