"I wish my mom was here"... I know for sure that I will be saying those words on my wedding day... I lost her when I was 22-years-old and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her.. I wish she was here for me..
This hits so hard. My mom passed away January 2020. Literally 2 weeks before my wedding. My mother in law and my grandmother tried so hard to fill that role. But even with all the love in the world, you still just have those times where you want your mom.
@CordobaGirlC5 I'm so sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you mean about having those times where you want and yes, need your mom. My mom passed in August 2014, my husband passed early Christmas morning 2020 and all I could think was I wish my mom was here, she'd know what to say. You and I were blessed, we had mom's that loved and cared for us. Their love and the memories are what have made us the women we are and will be. All you have to do is look in the mirror and search your heart because that is where your mom lives on. Grief doesn't end but you will learn how to live with it and go on in spite of it. You carry the strong woman your mom was inside. You will make it!! God Bless you Cordoba.
I remember seeing this movie with my mom, sister and Grandma, and right after this scene, something happened with the projector. The whole movie froze, the lights went on, and everyone started looking around. We all started cracking up when we realized EVERYONE in the theatre had been silently sobbing.
it's just the scene is so powerful. Can you imagine the scenario where you wonder when, if you pass, if your children will remember you? I don't have any kids yet but I cannot imagine having to wonder that thought like with the case of Susan Sarandon's terminally ill character. And also can you imagine wondering as Julia Robert's character did if your step children will secretly compare you to their mom who has passed, wondering if you will every be good enough to be the mom they have lost? And then how Susan Sarandon's character said that the children will not have to choose, they can love both the mom now and the mom past, and that their love is eternal, and nothing will be lost. When she said the children will always have them both is so moving and touching. So deep and powerful and inexpressibly moving, no wonder it moves a whole theater to tears!
"I have their past and you can have their future." I am a grown man pushing 40 and I ball my eyes out everytime I see this no matter how many years have passed by. So sad 😭
I know people think it’s sad that Jackie is going to die but in a way it should be a sense of relief for Luke and Isabel because they don’t have to worry about sharing Anna and Ben with anyone else.
"You know every story, every wound, every memory...their whole lifes happiness is wrapped up in you.. every single moment!!"...I'm a mother of two and that bit gets me every time I watch this...I can soooo relate 😭😭😭😭😭😭 as can every mother!
Anyone who has lost their mother can relate to this scene, it’s heartbreaking. I lost my mother four years ago and I’m so lost without her I miss her every second of my life!
It's the same for those of us who lost our dad's too:( it's not exactly the same, but hurts just as much just in different context! Sorry for your loss!
I am grateful to still have my mother, but I lost my father 5 years ago and there isn't a day that his absence doesn't hurt. I will have to walk down that aisle without him and it terrifies me how much just thinking about it hurts my heart.
there should be a sequel to this. where anna gets married, and when her veil is being fitted, right before she walks down the aisle, julia roberts says "goodness, i wish your mom were here. i bet she's super proud of you"
*”And mine is, she won’t”* That hit me more. To me there’s nothing sadder than having kids, putting your heart and soul into raising them and loving them every second but if you die when they are young and the then grow up to forget you... how truly heartbreaking. Like you never even existed. Seems completely unfair for them to then go on to love someone else as their parent
Your mother is always your mother. Always. You come into her arms the minute you are born and i truly believe you end up in her arms when you leave this earth.
@@Pixiemaniac you all seem to have very good mothers mine is mentally ill and although she clearly loves us and all, she is toxic for our lifes and the doctors adviced us that we should distance ourselfs from her because of her behaviour, this movie really hit me cause i saw the type of mother i never had. Yet again, its a movie and theres still so much we dont know about this peoples lifes (fictional of course).
For those who don't know, Susan and Julia are best friends. They wrote the film together. Nobody could've nailed the roles as they did. Two stellar actresses.
Oh my God really Chanel that is incredible it breaks my heart to think the original mother is dying and That step mama has to fill her shoes? damn you know- If it were me I want a good relationship with my step mama or stepdaughter
What Julia said is exactly what I thought when I saw myself in wedding dress before the ceremony... “I wish my Mum was here.” My Mum died of cancer 4 years ago. The night before the wedding, I cried a lot because my Mum won’t be there to see me in one of the important days of my life...
My mom passed in 2011 due to cancer complications too... and when my sister got married in 2017, she told me: "please do not talk about mom because I won't be able to stop crying." ... Cancer sucks dude...
People say Julia’s acting style is recognizable or predictable, and to some extent, in some roles, that’s the case. And then sometimes she gives these truly amazing moments where she *literally* becomes the character in every way. This is one of those moments.
I watched this many years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. Never watch this crap when pregnant. I had to pause it because I was sobbing so hard and called MY mommy!
You can’t imagine the loss of mother, it’s a indescribable disconnection. My mother passed 2 years prior to this this film coming out. This scene is so powerfully done between two amazing women. 😭😭😭😭😭
As a mum of two daughters I'm allowed to say this: you will be the most beautiful bride ever!!! Your mum and dad? They will be there, and they will have the best seats in the house!
My heart breaks for you Sarah. Both of my parents are gone now. I will carry a picture of them at my wedding and I will be crying. They will be with you on your day.
Sarah C.......I KNOW you will be a BEAUTIFUL bride on your wedding day!! ❤ 🥰 A Mother's love never dies..... In reading your messsge I believe she whispered in our hearts to send you these messages......I wish you all the BEST life has to offer!! God Bless you!!! ❤ 😍😇
Your husband will tell you.... your friends will tell you.... your in-laws will tell you and just close your eyes and imagine your parents telling you... xx
To me this is the pivitol moment of acceptance between the two. Both finally giving into being emotionally vulnerable with one another after butting heads for a while. Only to realize that they both share similar fears.
I was 8 years old when this movie came out. I remember going to see it in the theater with my best friend, our two annoying little brothers who were both 3 at the time, and our mothers. We didn't know it at the time, but a little over a year later, my best friend would be going through this very same scenario with her own mother. A year later, my family moved away. My childhood best friend and I tried to stay in touch as much as possible. My mom and I even went to her mom's funeral. Unfortunately, we lost touch over the years, but ended up reconnecting on Facebook. Even though our lives went in totally different directions (she followed in her mother's footsteps and became a lawyer and I am a writer), we still reminisce sometimes about going to see this movie together and how much it meant to both of us
Susan Sarandon - an amazing actress. So perceptive, natural and intense. She extremely beautiful inside out ❤️ Her subtlety in this performance was amazing
This scene is one of the most powerful I have ever seen. Both actresses perfomed at the highest level. The script is incredible very relatable and deep. I cannot stop crying every time I watch it. Wonderful. Sad this movie did not make the Oscars.
This is my favorite Movie of Julia Roberts, besides Steel Magnolia's , in Stepmom it was wonderfully cast with Lynn Whitfield, and Susan Sarandon, Ed Harris. Great film I am always in tears close to the end.
Susan Sarandon is really good, but Julia Roberts was fantastically perfect here. Her facial expressions at the end......a 1000 words spoken with no words being said.
I know it's just a movie but in my narrative, when Anna gets married and they're standing in that room together - Anna DOES say, "I wish my mom was here" and Julia's character, remembering THIS EXACT conversation says "She is here, just look at your eyes, and you'll see her."
Just rewatched this movie for the first time in years. It’s such a great vision of the true life of blended family. This was probably the most relatable movies of our time!
I agree with this. Susan has to wear so many different hats in this movie. She has to be ex wife. She is a dying mother. She also goes on a character arc from hating Isabella to loving her.
Can u imagine being a mom who loves her kids more than anything in life and contemplating the thought of someday they may not remember you? It is so deep to think your daughter may not remember you on ur wedding day. Our lives are so temporary and who are we and what did our life mean if our children do not remember us. Such a deep scene.
Oh this movie , oh ! So well written ! Acting is phenomenal. The pain was palpable . Her coming to terms with death and having to share that pain with her kids . Whew.
Two great actresses, a magnificent film. All the actors are excellent, the kids too. A story that can touch any of us, damn cancer ... A great lesson in life! What an interpretation, what accuracy! Congratulations ladies Sarandon and Roberts!!! They make me cry every time ....
This particular scene is so meaningful to me. My stepmom and biological mom had the worst relationship ever. If only they would've been able to behave like these two women did... Eventually these characters were able to come to a meeting of the minds. Unfortunately my mom's didn't.
*and from that day it became extremely difficult for the movie industry to find another actresses to play as mom and stepmom duo after These two legend*
My mom is 53 and was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the end of November 2023. We are still blessed to have her with us, though our time is getting close. I will never be able to watch this movie the same way again. My mom was there to see me pick my wedding dress.. but she won't see me walk down the aisle. She knows about the baby in my tummy... but she will never see him/her born. I can't imagine my mom's fear in leaving her two daughters and the 2 grandsons I gave her and am blessed to have photos and memories together. This scene in particular hits home ❤
I’m in love with a man who has a child from another woman , he’s everything i ever wanted. I am sharing a beautiful life with him, but I’m fearful of becoming a step mom. Unlike this movie, she’s selfish, crude, and mean to the core. I am afraid what i offer will never be enough for the little boy, but from seeing this movie, i want to try and be there for both of them. It’s been the family I always desired. Wonderful movie
You have a great mindset ... I’m a full time single father to my 8 year old girl... it’s hard to date because most woman don’t want a child that’s not theirs ... just keep being the good girlfriend you have been... as well as be the best whatever the child needs you to be... just go with the flow .. the child will love you just keep grinding... sending all the best
Ella... thank you for cheering me up... I’ve been pretty depressed lately so I appreciate your kind words ... I hope you find a man that appreciates you! If only you lived in San Diego 🙃
For those who don't know Julia and Susan are best friends. In this film together in stepmom with Ed Harris no could've the roles to have a different chemistry but two stellar actresses
Remember seeing this as kid when I was ,15 put now 36 years old I still love this movie your mother will always be with you and your father will always be with you
This movie really hits home because it's so similar to my childhood. Except the fact my stepmom was mean to me and my sister. I was 16 and my sister was 9 when she passed. It's been almost 20 years and we still miss her so much. Graduations, marriage, kids...it's all been bittersweet. We wish she could have been there for all of it.
this is how co-parenting should be, you only ever have the kids best interests at heart, its not about you, or who cheated or who lied, get along for the kids sake, they'll be better people, I've seen the long term damages of kids from divorces years on
As someone who lost a mom due to a grave illness, this scene really crushed my heart. To this day, whenever I get the chance to watch this film, I would always have a tissue beside me. This movie reminds me so much of my late mother who succumbed to death after a long battle with her kidney disease. On a lighter note, Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts' character and acting were absolutely amazing 👏
I know this is all about a mom and stepmom thing, but this hits me hard because I lost my dad from cancer and heart failure this past New Years. I do have a stepdad and hearing Isabel say all this just reminds me of how he told me that he wouldn't ever replace him.
I lost my mommy 7 years ago March. 2 weeks prior to our birthdays. She understood me completely. I have autism and I cared for her. My dad won't even let me grieve her and I am caring him now and he has never understood me
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom honey, but please remember that you have her in your heart. And in your mind always. I have also lost my mom recently and I didn't get to say goodbye. She was my best friend and I will miss her dearly. God bless you and your family.
this movie really stuck with me, i think it deserves more than 44% rating, it's wholly underrated IMO. this scene and of course the end of the movie really messed me up, crying like a baby. this scene is so beautifully done and written.
My mom & I used to watch this often. She started watching it because at one point, she was a step-mom (both of my half-brothers died). I got married in September, almost 2 years after my mom passed away. "I wish my mom was here" has such a strong meaning to me now.
I love this scene. It’s heartbreaking but makes a point to cherish your mom. My mom passed away almost 9 years ago and I miss her. I know if I get married again I’ll be saying it wish my mom was here’ because I say it often.
I haven't been able to watch this movie in a long time. The last time I did, I was losing my mom and when the scene came up where Susan was explaining everything to the kids, I lost it. I went over to my mom and I hugged her cause I knew I was going to be losing her soon.
My mom is in a memory care facility. She is my best friend. I have my moms memory & all of her life flows thru me.Will my kids even want to be there for me when i become this age or have an illness, Susans character her eyes the music just fit the mood. Yet i have had now 2 step moms replace me & i can see both sides.. No one can replace a mom. Just once it would have been great to hear this for myself
Susan Sarandon is so good at this type of dramatic roles. Her eyes tell everything, no need for words!
Aron Tamás I
It dramatic role not roles.
Yes definitely, she is beautiful ❤️❤️
At times like this I am reminded of words of wisdom from the great philosopher Joe Rogen:
_hello freak bit ches!_
I agree 100%!!
"I wish my mom was here"... I know for sure that I will be saying those words on my wedding day... I lost her when I was 22-years-old and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her.. I wish she was here for me..
Be sure that she is every single day of your life she is by your side, and i am pretty sure that she feels proud of you.
Sorry for your loss mam
She will always be there she is there is your memory and your heart. No one is ever truly gone for she lives thro you.
I was the same age when I lost my mom in 1985 it is a pain that never truly goes away,
I lost my mom when I was 14 ... Im 19 now and still , the pain I feel every single day is atrocious
"I have their past.....and you can have their future."
Me: *crying on the floor* 😭
Seriously tho!!!
Oh yeah me to
Pick yourself up and go cry on the couch at least
Right? I LOVED this movie. Susan is as always one of my favourite actors but I think Julia did some of her BEST acting in this film!
For sure, even after seeing it a dozen times
That voice crack by Julia, and that whispery breath by Susan. Uh, my heart. 😭
This hits so hard. My mom passed away January 2020. Literally 2 weeks before my wedding. My mother in law and my grandmother tried so hard to fill that role. But even with all the love in the world, you still just have those times where you want your mom.
I'm really sorry for your loss.God bless you

I’m sorry too.
This is one of the main reasons why I miss the 90's all the time. We never get amazing movies like this anymore 😪😔😞.
You said that so well. I miss the 90s too. What an era
Don't worry, this is the era of rehashing everything. They will just remake it soon.
I remember seeing this movie with my mom, sister and Grandma, and right after this scene, something happened with the projector. The whole movie froze, the lights went on, and everyone started looking around. We all started cracking up when we realized EVERYONE in the theatre had been silently sobbing.
alliesfrench That happened when I saw ‘Finding Neverland’ with my mum and some of her friends. There was no warning to wear waterproof mascara!
*and from that day it became extremely difficult for the movie industry to find another actress to play as stepmom after Julia Roberts*
it's just the scene is so powerful. Can you imagine the scenario where you wonder when, if you pass, if your children will remember you?

What a time for the projector to break but - great story.
That’s awesome.
"I have their past and you can have their future."
I am a grown man pushing 40 and I ball my eyes out everytime I see this no matter how many years have passed by. So sad 😭
I know people think it’s sad that Jackie is going to die but in a way it should be a sense of relief for Luke and Isabel because they don’t have to worry about sharing Anna and Ben with anyone else.
It is impossible to watch this movie without shedding some tears. Even for guys.
@@jacquevogel7634 WTF............. is wrong with you...
Same same same
@@jacquevogel7634WHAT? That is a HORRIBLE view of this.
This how step parents should be! When times are rough everyone steps up.
You really see her insecurities in this scene. She is so afraid of messing up as a Mother. It is so sad.
This is a movie 🎥 real life is Messy 💔
@Ben Ben agreed 💔
At times like this I am reminded of words of wisdom from the great philosopher Joe Rogen:
_hello freak bit ches!_
It took a while to get there, Susan’s character was just mean to Julia’s.
"You know every story, every wound, every memory...their whole lifes happiness is wrapped up in you.. every single moment!!"...I'm a mother of two and that bit gets me every time I watch this...I can soooo relate 😭😭😭😭😭😭 as can every mother!
Anyone who has lost their mother can relate to this scene, it’s heartbreaking. I lost my mother four years ago and I’m so lost without her I miss her every second of my life!
Brandon Mijango I lost my mom in 2004 to lung cancer. I miss her so much and this movie clip helps.i pray the days get better for you 🙏🏽
It's the same for those of us who lost our dad's too:( it's not exactly the same, but hurts just as much just in different context! Sorry for your loss!
Me too--going on three years. The absence is terrible. Hang in there. Sending love.
I am grateful to still have my mother, but I lost my father 5 years ago and there isn't a day that his absence doesn't hurt. I will have to walk down that aisle without him and it terrifies me how much just thinking about it hurts my heart.
Oh, bless all of you :( I'm 34 and don't even want to imagine a hypothetical world where my mom no longer exists. I don't think i could take it.
there should be a sequel to this. where anna gets married, and when her veil is being fitted, right before she walks down the aisle, julia roberts says "goodness, i wish your mom were here. i bet she's super proud of you"
Aww...sounds really sweet, Eden! :)
Being that this was made in ‘98, it’d be fitting to open up the sequel with this. It’s around that time.
There is an Indian adaptation of this movie "we are family" and the scene was there.The movie is equally as sad as this 😢
No
*”And mine is, she won’t”*
That hit me more. To me there’s nothing sadder than having kids, putting your heart and soul into raising them and loving them every second but if you die when they are young and the then grow up to forget you... how truly heartbreaking. Like you never even existed. Seems completely unfair for them to then go on to love someone else as their parent
These kids are lucky their step mom loves them. Some lose their mother and stop. 😔
I lost my mother v young,it's not about you!
Your mother is always your mother. Always. You come into her arms the minute you are born and i truly believe you end up in her arms when you leave this earth.
That is a beautiful notion @minzy green
@@Pixiemaniac you all seem to have very good mothers mine is mentally ill and although she clearly loves us and all, she is toxic for our lifes and the doctors adviced us that we should distance ourselfs from her because of her behaviour, this movie really hit me cause i saw the type of mother i never had.

For those who don't know, Susan and Julia are best friends. They wrote the film together. Nobody could've nailed the roles as they did. Two stellar actresses.
They did not write this movie tho...?
Oh thats what I thought as well! I was like I think they are besties in real life and I saw your comment
What? Where did you hear this? I can't find the information that they wrote the film or even partly wrote it anywhere...
Oh my God really Chanel that is incredible it breaks my heart to think the original mother is dying and That step mama has to fill her shoes? damn you know- If it were me I want a good relationship with my step mama or stepdaughter
Why did you lie? 😂
The acting in this scene is so brilliant you believe them...and it breaks your heart.
I know the movie is called stepmom but Susan just nails the performance
Adorable Girl 15 3 people
Susan Sarandon is national treasure ❤️
And mine is she won't, kills me everytime
What Julia said is exactly what I thought when I saw myself in wedding dress before the ceremony...
“I wish my Mum was here.”
My Mum died of cancer 4 years ago. The night before the wedding, I cried a lot because my Mum won’t be there to see me in one of the important days of my life...
My mom passed in 2011 due to cancer complications too... and when my sister got married in 2017, she told me: "please do not talk about mom because I won't be able to stop crying." ... Cancer sucks dude...
Your mom was there, just not in the way you wanted her to be there. She lives in your heart and your memories,therefore, she never truly died.
@Jarred Knox shut up
She was there with you in spirit. She saw her little girl happy and going down the aisle. I’m sure she’s proud of you. She was so happy for you.
@Jarred Knox Why? There is also her fiancée to think about as well.
People say Julia’s acting style is recognizable or predictable, and to some
extent, in some roles, that’s the case. And then sometimes she gives these truly amazing moments where she *literally* becomes the character in every way. This is one of those moments.
I watched this many years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. Never watch this crap when pregnant. I had to pause it because I was sobbing so hard and called MY mommy!
Cannot watch this movie without crying. It is so good!
saddest movie walk to remember
You can’t imagine the loss of mother, it’s a indescribable disconnection. My mother passed 2 years prior to this this film coming out. This scene is so powerfully done between two amazing women. 😭😭😭😭😭
"YOU RIDE WITH ANNA" "YOU'LL LEARN." I love that part.
Lost my mom at 17, dad at 28. No parents in my life anymore, no one to tell me how beautiful I'll be on my wedding day
You will be so beautiful on your wedding day Sarah 🥲💕
As a mum of two daughters I'm allowed to say this: you will be the most beautiful bride ever!!! Your mum and dad? They will be there, and they will have the best seats in the house!
My heart breaks for you Sarah. Both of my parents are gone now. I will carry a picture of them at my wedding and I will be crying. They will be with you on your day.
Sarah C.......I KNOW you will be a BEAUTIFUL bride on your wedding day!! ❤ 🥰
A Mother's love never dies..... In reading your messsge I believe she whispered in our hearts to send you these messages......I wish you all the BEST life has to offer!! God Bless you!!! ❤ 😍😇

To me this is the pivitol moment of acceptance between the two. Both finally giving into being emotionally vulnerable with one another after butting heads for a while. Only to realize that they both share similar fears.

I was 8 years old when this movie came out. I remember going to see it in the theater with my best friend, our two annoying little brothers who were both 3 at the time, and our mothers.

It is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the history of movies. The beauty of motherhood
my mom's been gone since 2011 and the pain just never fades away.... i miss her every single day.
I had to look for the perfect monologue... there is so much love and raw emotions here... I can’t wait to bring this to life!!!
Susan Sarandon - an amazing actress. So perceptive, natural and intense. She extremely beautiful inside out ❤️ Her subtlety in this performance was amazing
This scene is one of the most powerful I have ever seen.
Both actresses perfomed at the highest level.

I agree with this. Susan has to wear so many different hats in this movie. She has to be ex wife. She is a dying mother. She also goes on a character arc from hating Isabella to loving her.
Susan nailed it 🎥✍🏻🗣
I have to disagree. Both women pulled off equally great performances as two radically different women, that's why it worked out so well.
This scene was literally a war of acting. Amazing. Truly.
I'm not crying.....YOU'RE crying.
Fantastic scene with great acting.
This movie is every emotion!!..u have... u feel at the same time
Jesus, i remember how hard i cry watching this movie. So deep, sad, emotional..
Daniel M 😔it is saf
Sad*
Can u imagine being a mom who loves her kids more than anything in life and contemplating the thought of someday they may not remember you? It is so deep to think your daughter may not remember you on ur wedding day. Our lives are so temporary and who are we and what did our life mean if our children do not remember us. Such a deep scene.
This is my favorite ‘cry’ movie. So very sad, sweet, and full of soul.
Oh this movie , oh ! So well written ! Acting is phenomenal. The pain was palpable . Her coming to terms with death and having to share that pain with her kids . Whew.
I have never watched this and not cried... beautiful performance.
This scene is a masterpiece. Pure art and craft. Tremendous actresses , brilliant performance. It amazes me everytime... bravo 👏 👏
Two great actresses, a magnificent film. All the actors are excellent, the kids too. A story that can touch any of us, damn cancer ... A great lesson in life! What an interpretation, what accuracy! Congratulations ladies Sarandon and Roberts!!! They make me cry every time ....

Same, brutal for kids in that situation. The feeling of being the perpetual outsider in your own house. Not a fun way to grow up, been there as well.
*and from that day it became extremely difficult for the movie industry to find another actresses to play as mom and stepmom duo after These two legend*
Haven’t watched this movie in years because it’s instant tears every time
"I wish my mom was here" 💔😭
My mom is 53 and was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the end of November 2023. We are still blessed to have her with us, though our time is getting close. I will never be able to watch this movie the same way again. My mom was there to see me pick my wedding dress.. but she won't see me walk down the aisle. She knows about the baby in my tummy... but she will never see him/her born. I can't imagine my mom's fear in leaving her two daughters and the 2 grandsons I gave her and am blessed to have photos and memories together.
This scene in particular hits home ❤
Moms are always the glue, always.
It's 2021 and I always come here to watch this scene when I think of my mom. My beautiful mom passed away in 2017 and I miss her dearly😢
This is truly the best scene in the movie!! It’s simply amazing!!
As a child, I never understood Isabel's fear and thought she was being rude and selfish. But as an adult I totally get what she means.
I’m in love with a man who has a child from another woman , he’s everything i ever wanted. I am sharing a beautiful life with him, but I’m fearful of becoming a step mom. Unlike this movie, she’s selfish, crude, and mean to the core. I am afraid what i offer will never be enough for the little boy, but from seeing this movie, i want to try and be there for both of them. It’s been the family I always desired. Wonderful movie
You have a great mindset ... I’m a full time single father to my 8 year old girl... it’s hard to date because most woman don’t want a child that’s not theirs ... just keep being the good girlfriend you have been... as well as be the best whatever the child needs you to be... just go with the flow .. the child will love you just keep grinding... sending all the best
Ella... thank you for cheering me up... I’ve been pretty depressed lately so I appreciate your kind words ... I hope you find a man that appreciates you! If only you lived in San Diego 🙃
For those who don't know Julia and Susan are best friends. In this film together in stepmom with Ed Harris no could've the roles to have a different chemistry but two stellar actresses
Remember seeing this as kid when I was ,15 put now 36 years old
I still love this movie your mother will always be with you and your father will always be with you
As a mom, if I was dying I’d wish there was someone else to step in and be her mom
This movie really hits home because it's so similar to my childhood. Except the fact my stepmom was mean to me and my sister. I was 16 and my sister was 9 when she passed. It's been almost 20 years and we still miss her so much. Graduations, marriage, kids...it's all been bittersweet. We wish she could have been there for all of it.
This scene IS just beautiful
I love, love, love this scene. Makes me cry every time.
Waterworks EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 😩
this is how co-parenting should be, you only ever have the kids best interests at heart, its not about you, or who cheated or who lied, get along for the kids sake, they'll be better people, I've seen the long term damages of kids from divorces years on
As someone who lost a mom due to a grave illness, this scene really crushed my heart. To this day, whenever I get the chance to watch this film, I would always have a tissue beside me. This movie reminds me so much of my late mother who succumbed to death after a long battle with her kidney disease. On a lighter note, Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts' character and acting were absolutely amazing 👏
I know this is all about a mom and stepmom thing, but this hits me hard because I lost my dad from cancer and heart failure this past New Years. I do have a stepdad and hearing Isabel say all this just reminds me of how he told me that he wouldn't ever replace him.
This is one if the most heartbreaking scenes in any movie
I lost my mommy 7 years ago March. 2 weeks prior to our birthdays. She understood me completely. I have autism and I cared for her. My dad won't even let me grieve her and I am caring him now and he has never understood me
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom honey, but please remember that you have her in your heart. And in your mind always. I have also lost my mom recently and I didn't get to say goodbye. She was my best friend and I will miss her dearly. God bless you and your family.
@@RavynMiller-fm1mx I appreciate that
My favorite scene in the whole movie
this movie really stuck with me, i think it deserves more than 44% rating, it's wholly underrated IMO. this scene and of course the end of the movie really messed me up, crying like a baby. this scene is so beautifully done and written.
I always cry with this scene T_T
I grew up with two sisters and a mom and this was our favorite movie to watch. As a grown man I cannot watch this without shedding tears.
My mom & I used to watch this often. She started watching it because at one point, she was a step-mom (both of my half-brothers died). I got married in September, almost 2 years after my mom passed away. "I wish my mom was here" has such a strong meaning to me now.
I have a chronic illness and one day this might be my reality. I just pray that whoever comes along will love my babies through their pain.
I cry every time I watch this. It's so beautiful.
I watched this in the theater with my stepmom when I was 13. It’s got a soft place in my heart
I love this scene. It’s heartbreaking but makes a point to cherish your mom. My mom passed away almost 9 years ago and I miss her. I know if I get married again I’ll be saying it wish my mom was here’ because I say it often.
This movie really make me miss my mom and we as their son/daughter we should appreciate our mom when she still alive 😔
This was, and still is, SUCH a good movie
@nat a l i e It’s better than good imo. I think it’s absolutely GREAT...
Isabel should not expect that the kids' love would be just the same for her.
Here in 2020!!! Amazing movie😭😭😭
Saddest movie scene I’ve ever watched I cry like a baby every time. 😭 one of my favorite movie drama of all time love it💕
I would be pissed if she said that her fear would be her wishing her mother was there. I wouldn't be so civil after that comment.
I'm the same I don't like that statement.
She didn’t mean that comment in that way. She meant it in a way of like her saying that no matter how hard she tries , she feel she wouldn’t be enough
I haven't been able to watch this movie in a long time. The last time I did, I was losing my mom and when the scene came up where Susan was explaining everything to the kids, I lost it. I went over to my mom and I hugged her cause I knew I was going to be losing her soon.
Since my childhood this movie is my "i need to cry in comfort" movie. It will always be.
this scene always makes me cry
especially when they are talking about the daughter's future wedding
Literally came here just to weep profusely.
I just finished watching the movie and I'm confused I'm not sure if I feel sad or happy over the end ... but it's definitely a great film .
😢😢😢😢😢
i swear this scene always makes me cry
Powerful scene giving by two icons!!! Love this movieeeeeee!
masterclass in acting✨
I didn’t think I was going to cry and I did
My mom is in a memory care facility. She is my best friend. I have my moms memory & all of her life flows thru me.Will my kids even want to be there for me when i become this age or have an illness, Susans character her eyes the music just fit the mood. Yet i have had now 2 step moms replace me & i can see both sides.. No one can replace a mom. Just once it would have been great to hear this for myself
WOW. This scene is so powerful. 2 of my favourite actresses right here!!! 💗🙌🏼
If you don't cry to this, you have no soul
They just don’t do things now like they did in the 90’s. Man O man do I miss...
1:30 the wedding dialogue makes me cry....
One of the best cinematic scenes ever!!!!!!!!😢😢😢
