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 =[.

I totally agree with you. I cry everytime that scene is on. I actually read somewhere that in the original screenplay that Sandra was supposed to stay on the porch for the remander of that scene, and it was supposed to end with Mae crying in front of the house. But when they were shooting that scene, it was said that Sandra was so moved and affected by Mae's performance that she started to cry herself and went to pick her up, it was said that Sandra commented that she couldn't just watch that little girl cry, she just had to go pick her up.

I remember a friend let me borrow this movie the first time I watched it and I "hated" her for it because I felt like I cried through the whole movie!
Not 10 minutes into the movie when Bernice is in the front row of the show crying her eyes out had me crying too.
Then when her Birdee's mother dies because I'm super close to my mom and it just stabbed me in the heart!
Then when Birdee goes through her mom's closet to find a dress
Oh! When Travis takes his grandmother's picture at the church
The scene with Travis and Justin on the porch
And of course when Bernice is running out chasing her Dad telling him he "wants her?" OUCH! SOB, SOB, SOB! -

Agree to you.The whole thing about Bill's character was weird.On the one side,he seems to be the love of her life,but on the other side,he's such a terrible guy..I wished,there would be more 'backround' infos about Birdee and Bill and their common life.

They were childhood sweethearts from high school, and Birdie was likely very nave and blind when it came to him, and only saw what she wanted to see, which was a hero who was taking her out of that town, and away from her embarrassing mother.
As the years passed by, she grew up, and began to see him as he really was, but by then, she likely tried to overlook it, deciding that since he was her husband now, she should try to make the best of things. Also, I have a feeling she still kept the blinders on, and again, only saw what she wanted to see.
So, until she was forced to take the blinders off when confronted by her supposed "best friend," she lived a life she'd built for herself, and tried to convince herself that she loved her husband. Once things came to light though, she was finally free to live her life for herself and her daughter, and no longer had to deal with her husband who wasn't the good man and hero she'd built him up to be. -

That part about the dad driving away is heartbreaking. Sadly, there are men out there that actually do that to their children. I don't see how they sleep at night. My daughter's dad never even bothered to be a part of her life. He left when I was pregnant with her.his family did the same thinghis mother made the comment.."I already have enough grandchildren..I don't need anymore"..People can be downright mean and heartless!
