its true.
if she hadn't died the movie wouldn't have been the same. The point wasn't that she could climb the stairs and start working out and get thin and Arnie would get a "new brain" and everything would be perfect. The family was already ruined, and this movie was about recovery. The ending of the movie showed how Momma overcame before her end, which was already coming. The burning of the house symbolizes the destruction of the root of the problems within the Grape family. If you think about it, the movie ends with Arnie still on the brink of death. It doesn't end with us knowing he's going to live a normal life. It ends with us knowing he's happy in the present, but probably won't last very long. In a way, however, (don't take this the wrong way) Arnie's death might be good thing. It would relieve the family of his burden. AS Gilbert said, "some days you want him to live, some you don't"
And yes, Cates is just an actor like all the others. Lets not glorify her work as a fight against discrimination or anything. I think she did a good job in this movie, but from a statistical point of view, you have to recognize that the number of willing actresses who could physically be Momma was limited, and Cates was the best of that particular pool. -
