I don't know how you get a child that small to be such a great actress(and I might not like to find out) but she is delivering an *EXPERIENCE* in that scene. That's not crying, that's not sobbing, that's not weeping, those are a child's _wails_
There's an interview she did where she said she was imagining the scene in the Titanic where the band continues to play as the boat sinks and that's why she cried. Sandra Bullock wasn't supposed to walk to her and pick her up but she couldn't help it
As bad as I feel for Bernice, I also feel bad for Birdee. Having to watch her only daughter, obviously in pain, but also knowing she'd prefer to be with her father, and doesn't need her mother. Rough situation. Great scene. Mae crushed it.
She totally crushed it. But I think she does need her mother. But it’s more that Bernice wanted someone to blame, so it was Birdie. The grass is greener, so she wanted to be with her daddy.
@@LeahWalentosky Indeed she did. She had to let Bernice see for herself that her Dad wasn't who she thought he was, even though it would hurt. Sandy said later that she wasn't even supposed to go pick Mae up during the scene. She was just supposed to stay on the porch. But she was so moved by Mae's performance she just had to go to her and scoop her up. Mae, to her great credit being the age she was, never broke character. Turned out a very powerful scene that made her a child actress legend. Those famous water works of hers have been put to great use time and time again. When Mae Whitman cries, everybody cries.
Yeah, you can't see a kid that inconsolable and not feel bad for her. That little Mae was, and is, a terrific actress. Never saw her in anything she wasn't great in.
My son tried to run after his father and fell and scraped his knees. He died in 2019. The woman he left me for has already moved on days after his death and I am still in pain. 😢 I have still not been able to move on unfortunately.
She's being doing fantastic work pretty much her whole life. She's great in both live action and voice over. Sad to see her show got cancelled after 4 seasons, but she'll move on.
Brilliant little actress. She more than held her own in a talented cast. I remember crying so hard during this scene in the theater, the woman sitting next to me, who was crying as well, handed me a pack of tissues and then held my hand as we both cried.
I haven’t watched this movie in 10 years and seeing it now as a mother of a little girl who was abandoned by her father it cuts deep. The pain these men cause their wives is nothing compared to the damage they do to their own flesh and blood. 😢
A man who cheats on his wife behind her back and abandons his daughter after the divorce to only have time with the woman he wants to marry doesn't deserve to have a family.
Men like that always get their come uppance because years down the line when the kids grow up they never forget and whilst some forgive others don't. Fathers like Bill lose out long term because by the time they realise what a big fucking mistake they've made they're relegated to second best throughout their kids adult lives like at weddings, when grandchildren arrive and if they're invited for xmas etc I'm sure its very lonely indeed knowing that your kid will never include you in their lives like they do others and you can't say a thing because its your own fault. I never realised until years later when I watched this as an adult what a fucking selfish arsehole Bill really was. He returned on the day of Ramoana's funeral when he knew Birdee would be grieving for her mother to ask for a divorce after already blowing her and Bernice's lives apart because he fucked her best friend and then leaves without saying bye to his only child and then tells her there's no room for her in his life but she's his little princess and drives off leaving her sobbing and broken hearted and its down to Birdee to pick up the pieces. What a cunt he is!
Just because you 'fell in lust' with another woman doesn't mean you can simply STOP being a father until you have the time again. Especially after telling your child 'I want you with me'. Just gross and selfish behavior. And by the time his other relationship ends his daughter will want nothing to do with him, rightfully so.
People tend to think it's strictly about leaving the spouse/mate as to why the spouse/mate is struggling being civil towards them. No. It's things like THIS. When you see your child's heart broken ESP by someone who is supposed to protect it, you be ready to put your hands on a mug for causing so much pain. So being civil becomes a struggle. Understandably so.
I was Bernice at one poin in my life. My father was in and out of my life for years and it did a number on me. I gave up trying to have a relationship with him after 2016 and I'm happy. I had a father and he was my grandpa.
Every time. 😭😭😭😭 This movie taught me something at a young age I hoped I'd never need but I did. I didn't pull any punches with my kids "dad". I let him break their hearts all by himself and stayed clean of it. They know without a shadow of doubt I always wanted them and always choose them.
This scene makes me cry every time I see it. I’ve had such a similar thing happened to me and my daughters. The way Sandra Bullock knows what’s going to happen and chooses to let it happen because she knows that Bernice needs to understand -the way she sits, and lets it happen because she knows it’s essential. Mae Whitman was the most unbelievably believable character/actress for this part. This is the most amazing scene and gets me every time.
I had this experience. Not the exact circumstances, but knowing, just knowing I was everything to Daddy cuz he was everything to me, but him leaving anyway. Later he took my brothers and not me and there was a scene a lot like this. Except my mother didn’t help or hug me, she yelled at me. He’d left me with an angry woman who’d never wanted me. Then he died and she erased his memory from us all. This scene, back when it came out, made me sob so hard I could barely breathe.
I was lucky. My dad wasn’t perfect, but he was a good person and he was always there. He and my mom were married 44 years when she passed away in 2017 and my dad passed last year. I miss them both like crazy.
At 4 years old my parents divorce my mom was a single mother on welfare. I'm so proud of her she is my Shero and him, he can go to hell he's going to miss college he's going to miss graduations he's going to miss grandchildren. The Deadbeat.
When Bill is leaving 😔 at Birdie's House, bernice saids I'm coming with you daddy 👨, Bernice wants to go 🚶♂️ with her daddy 👨, But Bill tells Bernice to stay with her mom 👩, Bill tells birdie, if she gonna help him or not, or staring at him, Bernice starts to crying 😢 Because Bill is leaving Bill tells bernice, she need her and she need her mother 👩, Sad 😔 news Bill saids I've Gotta Go 🚶♂️ And bernice starts crying 😢 and yelling at him, Birdie Carrying with Her daughter bernice, to bring her inside the house 🏠, Sad 😔 news Bernice miss 😢 her daddy 👨
Make a go of it? The message to that child is....the new wife is more important than me. It's disgusting! But it happens every day. Our choices don't only effect you but but also those around us. And especially the kids and their precious hearts.
Dame, this is just heart wrenching, the way Birdee sits and waits silently and once he is gone she is there for Bernice, even though her daughter said she didn't need her. She didn't hold it against her. She didn't unload all of her anger on her she was just there. Its horrible what he did, but it showed Bernice how much of a douche bag he is and that he really didn't care for her at all.
Sandy said later that the original scene never called for her to leave the porch. It was apparently supposed to close on Bernice bawling in the street, alone. But Sandy was so moved by Mae's performance that she had to go scoop her up. Mae, to her great credit considering how young she was, never broke character. Made for such an incredible scene. Never saw Mae in anything I didn't think she was amazing in. One of my very favorite actresses. If you never saw 'Parenthood' on NBC, check it out. Her scenes with Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore) throughout that show are some of the best I've ever seen. Unbelievable how real they were together.
And the little girl whose leg Ross Gellar broke on 'Friends'. Had kind of a jerk for a father in that, too :-)Also, President Whitmore's daughter in Independence Day. She's done so many great things. CRAZY talented kid.
‘Men’ like him disgust me; selfish, adulterous and neglectful. Makes me want to double my accountability and truly love the person to be with especially before bringing a beloved child into the world
Wanting to be with her father and loving him more than her mother means she's a bratty, obnoxious diva. I can't believe she kept blaming her mother for the marriage falling apart when she heard her father's confession loud and clear on live TV. That should have been enough for her to understand why she and Birdee moved away.
She's a child who's been daddy's little princess all her life. I would bet Bill was the parent who spoiled her and enjoyed the fun parts whilst Birdee had to do the hard work and be the bad guy. Kids don't always see things through adult eyes. In Bernice's eyes its Birdee's fault because she left, moved them to Texas away from her dad and her friends where she was happy and is struggling to adjust to her new home and school where she's being bullied. It took Bill telling her Connie comes before her and then driving away leaving her devastated to open Bernice's eyes as to who the bad guy really was and believe that is utterly heartbreaking to see the actual truth. Parent's like Bill will eventually get their come uppance years down the line because kids never forget that kind of pain, some may forgive but not of all them do. By the time parents like Bill realise their mistake its too late they end up relagated to second best in their adult children's lives like graduations, weddings and when grandchildren come along they all lose out on being a part of it.
She's a kid she doesn't know the ins and outs of her parents relationship. I would guess Bill was the parent who spoiled Bernice and did all the lovely fun stuff whilst Birdee did the hard work. In Bernice's eyes its Birdee's fault because she was the one who left and uprooted them to Texas and Bernice had to leave her home, school and friends and adjust to a new home and school where she was bullied and only had one friend and her cousin for support. That's why Birdee didn't help Bill out as he put it because she was bearing the brunt of his selfishnesses so she had to let Bernice see the truth herself. It took Bill walking out and leaving her sobbing because he's put the woman who helped break up her family before his "little princess" to open Bernice's eyes believe me that is utterly heartbreaking and will probably do some damage to Bernice.
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 She's a stupid ungrateful brat blinded by being Daddy's special girl and disrespects her mother as the bad guy when the father is the bad guy at fault for everything.

shes still an amazing actress I loved watching her throughout the Parenthood show and shes on Good Girls now
Let’s not forget this is the same actress who did the voice of Katara from Avatar the last Airbender and Disney’s Fairies Tinker Bell
There's an interview she did where she said she was imagining the scene in the Titanic where the band continues to play as the boat sinks and that's why she cried. Sandra Bullock wasn't supposed to walk to her and pick her up but she couldn't help it
That's Oscar material there!! She's such a great actor.
Darn straight about that one!! Hell ya.
To all those who said they experienced this kind of abandonment, my heart goes out to you. NO ONE should ever be made to cry as Bernice did here.
As bad as I feel for Bernice, I also feel bad for Birdee. Having to watch her only daughter, obviously in pain, but also knowing she'd prefer to be with her father, and doesn't need her mother. Rough situation. Great scene. Mae crushed it.

Birdee showed good parenting in this scene she let her daughter’s heart brake and picked her up afterwards

Mae Whitman is such a good actress. Like an amazing actress
Now I see how Katara was born
She's being doing fantastic work pretty much her whole life. She's great in both live action and voice over. Sad to see her show got cancelled after 4 seasons, but she'll move on.
Seeing what happened to her was heart breaking but she needed to learn the hard way even if it's painful.
This was was me loved my dad break my heart
Maybe dad's do this on purpose to teach us to be strong women. As cruel as it is, but that's what helped me to be a single mom.
@@Confessions089 maybe thats a piss poor excuse for abandoning your child
