most heart breaking scene ever

The other scene I found very sad (aside from those mentioned), was the scene where Birdie goes through her mother's wardrobe, finds the black dress and then takes a big, face-in-the-dress breath then breaks down crying. I find that scene really, really sad.

The beginning was also sad when they had then on that dumbass show airing their dirty laundrey and there was Bearnica on row 1 watching, crying her eyes out. Studio folks shoould move the kids out on shows like that, but no, they love the rateing!! Sad scene though.

Saw this again today and still cried at that scene. I also found the scene with Travis on the porch after his grandmother's death deeply touching. Both of these children feel lost in the world, one for lack of normalcy, the other for lack of a constant parent. I really thought HRjr hit it out of the park during this scene on the porch. Great work indeed.

My Dad left us and I am one of four..he now lives abroad..
The first time he left my sister was exactly like little Bernice, screaming, begging her Daddy not to go, then my brothers used to do it
The really sad thing is, you get used to the leaving even though it breaks your heart every time they go and it's horrible having to watch small kids have to try and understand the reasoning behind such actions
Now we are older it's just my youngest brother who gets upset but I wish I could comfort him..but every time he leaves us it's like trying to heal a new wound over an old scar..all over again.

There were a lot of scenes that had me crying but that one really got to me! It bothers me to see any child rejected by his or her parent and you're right. There are far too many parents like that in the world.

This might sound different or "wrong" for a lot of people, but the scenes that hit me hardest were watching the way Bernice treated her mom.
My dad had a cuople daughters from a previous marriage, and I remember growing up and seeing them beat him down and treat him like crap because of the things their mom told them. Years later they've found out that it was all a crock, he never did anyhting but try his best to be there for them and they still treat him badly despite knowing the truth.
So, call it a different perspective, but I felt sorry for birdie a lot of the time, beyond just waht her husband did to her. -

I was watching it again this morning and I can definitely see your prospective. I was thinking about how rude and just plain nasty Bernice was behaving toward Birdee. In fact, she was a bit mouthy and rude to almost all of the adults, including her grandfather who was ill. Remember the scene when Birdee and Bill were trying to have an adult conversation? They had to tell her over and over again to go outside while they talk and I was thinking how uncalled for that was especially when she told Birdee not too mess it up or something to that effect.

The one for me would be the one where Justin is sitting with Travis and they were discussing the "telegram" and Justin says what do you want to do.. go for a walk or something.. and Travis says don't you want to go inside and talk to Aunt Birdie.. Justin says.. Don't you know I came here to see you I BALL MY EYES OUT EVERYTIME!!!

I can see how people take Birneise to come off as a brat. But you have to realize that shes a little child that has been taken away from her daddy. She doesnt comprehend to the extent (we do) of the situation. She isint happy there, she has a bully. Her mom took her from her daddy and now her mother is talking to another man. You love every character in this movie and you can see why they are the way they are. Like when Birneise got the phone call from her father and Birdie was sitting at the table expecting he would want to speak to her. Basically he made her feel like sh*t that he can throw away her and their daughter so easily and not fight for them. For example when Birdie was making the point to Bill "wife gone check, daughter gone check check"

All true, but the character became so annoying that it was good to see her get a harsh dose of reality shoved in her face, not that I agree with the father's actions, of course. But hey, sometimes we need sucky things to happen to us to help us grow up a little.
It's a shame God didn't make blueprints. They'd be worth a lot of money now. -

Yep. For me, the saddest scene was when Bernice tries to go with her father and he rejects her. It reminds me how bad my own father was. He divorced my mother, but he threw me away.
I cry every time I watch that scene. How hard she cries in public in that scene is how I felt growing up. I never cried over him in public, just alone in my room because I didn't want people knowing how much he hurt me. But by the time I was fifteen, I'd stopped crying from hurt. The hurt turned into anger, and now I simply hate him. -

I have to agree that scene made my eyes water. And when the mom died. But the tears actaully started coming out when Birdie was looking in her mom's closet and she just started crying into her mom's shirt. That broke my heart =[.
