BUZZFEED: THE 16 GREATEST MOVIE MUSIC MOMENTS OF 2014 ROBERT PATTINSON SINGS “PRETTY GIRL ROCK.” (THE ROVER) David Michôd’s post-apocalyptic movie is set in an Australia filled with brutality, in which people have begun murdering each other over sparse resources and personal slights. It’s not a place for upbeat musical cues, which is why there’s something particularly jolting about the moment when the gruff Eric (Guy Pearce) and his hostage-turned-helper Rey (Robert Pattinson) make their way over the rough terrain to the shiny sounds of Keri Hilson’s “Pretty Girl Rock.” Better still is the cut to Rey alone in a car, aimlessly singing along to Hilson’s entreaties that people not hate her because she’s beautiful. Civilization may be dying, but some songs, like cockroaches, will apparently live on forever.
