Just saw this on TV and one of the many parts that gets me everytime is at the end before Emma passes, she looks over and smiles at Auroraas if to say, "GoodbyeI love you" Superb performance of those two!

Me, too. I bawl like a baby everytime the nurse comes in and says that Emma has passed away. The way Shirley McLaine gets up and goes over to her and cries. She's rightyou think you are prepared for it when it happens, but when it does, nothing is harder.

yeah that's the tearjerker alright. Debra Winger does one of the best onscreen deaths ever. And then Shirley MacClaine did her thing. The way she broke down had me weeping buckets. And what she was saying about thinking it would be a relief but it's not it's the hardest thing, God so sad.

That's the exact part that kills me, too. She says something like, "I'm so stupid!" and then explains how she thought it would be easier and then breaks down and says, "It just gets harder." Absolutely stunning performance. I felt like I was in the room with her.

Another one that tears me up and makes me smile at the same time, is when Aurora goes to the nurses station and demands that they give her daughter the shot. I'm the only one I know who has ever teared up on that onemost people I know think it's kind of funny just because it's so Aurorabut I can imagine that you're child is lying there in so much pain, there is nothing you can do, there is only one way to aliviate it, and that is a shot that the nurse has said she'll do soon, in a minute, just a second, I'll be there as soon as I can, etc.it's very frustrating. So, I can see exactly why she went and made such a scene and then when it's over, just calms right down.
For some reason, it just gets me every time. -

Yes, that part gets me too, because her baby is laying there in pain and all she wants is to make it better and it's such a hopeless feeling This is my all time favorite movie, and once he finds that lump I'm near tears the rest of the way.
Great scene Aurora slapping Tommy in the parking lot, there is just so much raw emotion in this movie.

Actually that is exactly the point that I start crying everytime i watch this film. I think that more than anything, Aurora's mad, shrew-like insistence in the nurse giving her daughter the shot right away, taking away the pain, show the true raw love a mother has for her child.

Yeah, I agree that the scene when Aurora yells at the nurse to give her daughter the shot is really great. It's sad if you think of it in that way (which is probably the way it's meant to be thought). But after that I thought it was funny when right after she immediately calms down. It's also SO sad when she passes away and Aurora gets really upset and says something like, "It's the hardest thing you'd ever go through", and starts hugging Flap.

Yes, I know just what you mean. I've probably posted this too but I saw it in a sold-out theatre when it was new. I had to set apart from my dad because there weren't any seats together (I think he sat on the floor). I sat by this very severe-looking woman, who rather obviously didn't like my teen-boy self sitting by her - she made a face, and fought me for the armrest (seriously). During this scene, though, she gave me a tissue when I got emotional - it was very nice, and one of my life's favorite memories. I guess we came to terms
