What Diana Prince sees in others

“No, Charlie. Who will sing for us?”

I’ve seen Wonder Woman twice. The second time, I was especially struck by a single moment—a single line.

It comes right after Diana leads the ragtag band of fighters to a significant victory. In the battle, Charlie—a former sharpshooter haunted by his war experiences—is called on to take out a sniper. He can’t do it. He's shaky and uncertain, and he’s unable to pull the trigger when it counts.

The good guys win anyway. That night they celebrate at a bar, where Charlie plays the piano and sings.
