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 =[.

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!
