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.
while i waited i was wasting away -

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

The littlest boy crying in the hospital just breaks my heart. He is too adorable to be so sad.
Exactly.
I weep so hard when that little boy's face begins to crumple. You can see how brave he's trying to be even though his whole world is collapsing.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?

Yes, the nurse's station scene. I can't believe no one mentioned this one: When Aurora returns to the hotel lobby, picks up her key, and she sees Jack N. on the steps, who has arrived to visit her. She says, "Who, who would think that you would turn out to be a nice guy?" Then she just buries her head in his shoulder and sobs. That busts me up every time.

The part where Emma says "I thought it went really well, didn't you?" And the littlest boy tries his hardest to nod and not to cry, and begins to anyway.I bust out crying like a spigot every single time.
That young actor did a
superb
job in that scene!! I cannot imagine what he had to think about to work up emotion like that. It looked so realistic, and you knew and FELT how heartbroken and alone the boy and Emma were feeling. Even though the older boy was a punk, I cried when he broke downI knew he was torn apart about losing his mom and just didn't know how to express it.

If you think that's sad, try watching the sequel 'The Evening Star'. It's nowhere near as brilliant as the original, but this scene had me in pieces:
Aurora goes to the prison where Tommy has been for the past couple of years. (not surprising to learn he ended up in prison.) He has never expressed any interest in her previous visits or felt any emotion whatsoever when she talked about his mother. One day she goes in and she gives him a box of brownies with a file inside. He throws them to his cell mate, who takes the brownies and throws back the file. Tommy sits on his bed and looks through the file, which has pictures of when he was a child. He comes across a picture of his mother, smiling, and breaks down in tears. It's heartbreaking to watch. I cried my heart out.
