    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    M'Lynn (Sally Field) grieves for her daughter, and when she expresses a desire to hit something, Clairee (Olympia Dukakis) suggests slapping Ouiser (Shirley MacLaine).
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    The title refers to those seemingly frail Southern belles who survive any and all deprivations through whims of iron. Robert Harling's original stage play was set exclusively in a Louisiana beauty parlor where an all-female cast of characters laughed, cried and compared menfolk. The film expands the playing field by including scenes at picnics, hospitals and the like, and by visually depicting the males who never appeared in the stage version. Dolly Parton plays the goodnatured beauty-shop owner, while Shirley MacLaine is the cantankerous town eccentric, decked out in grungy overalls and speaking fluent Trash. Well-to-do Sally Field bravely endures several assaults to her sensibilities, not the least of which is the illness (and subsequent death) of daughter Julia Roberts. The performances are first-rate, with the possible exception of Daryl Hannah's overemphatic portrayal of a gawky hairdresser. The film stumbles a bit in its depiction of the male characters as fools and deadheads, and in the final overlong hospital scenes involving the comatose Roberts, which play like a road company version of Terms of Endearment. Otherwise, Steel Magnolias is a prime example of ensemble filmmaking, lovingly coordinated by director Herbert Ross. (Sidebar: Herbert Ross was reportedly rather rough on Julia Roberts, deriding her lack of experience. The rest of the female cast rallied around Roberts and told the director to lay off or pay the price).

    I lost my daughter. She was 29years old and so beautiful and sweet. Sally Field acting in this part nailed it. She portrayed a grieving mother very well. Makes me cry every time I see it. Hits home. She did fantastic job. 🌹

    This has got to be one of her best performances of all time. The way she bounces from crying to panicking to denial is so raw to watch. I feel my heart hurting right along with her. “I don’t think I can do this” is something anyone who’s lost a loved one can understand. There are days, moments, months or years where it feels like you can’t keep going.

Travis passed from acute asphyxiation under a car. I want to know why, why, why!!! I too need a weezer to punch!!! So much anger, devastation,loneliness, sorrow, gut wrenching ❤ break. Its just a nightmare I never wake up from!! People tend to run away after the funeral and expect you to "get over it". So 2 all the people who have lost your beloved, hugs 2 u and just know u r not alone!!!

    I lost my dad April 2016 just before his 65th birthday. He had managed to live 25 years with Crohn’s Disease and we had no warning of how sick he was until the day before he died. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s myself later in 2016 and had to face surgery and living with the disease without my dad who had always been my rock. Even with the passage of time I still have moments where this scene aptly describes every emotion I feel over losing my father. ❤️

    Sally Field was brilliant in this scene and role--she portrayed the emotion of grief and frustration so well here. I think it is one of my favourite scenes in cinema and I think Sally deserved an Oscar for this scene alone (kind of like Ingrid Bergman in Murder On The Orient Express, in which, she won her Oscar for the one scene alone!). I also love the scenery of this film as well and the Easter Egg Hunt Park at the end is beautiful too. I also think the cast was wonderful too. Though, I wish Susan Sarandon was in it, as I can picture her in this film! But it is one of the best films I think out there--such a feel-good soul film and womanly bond film.

  • @hannahfarmer4729

    Just lost my SO of seven years with who I have a beautiful four-year-old daughter and the emotion Sally Field displays in this scene is spot on. Grief, anger, wondering "why", all of it...especially why a little girl now has to grow up without her father. When anyone asks me how I'm doing, well, this scene answers that question.

    I don't think I would ever be able to handle outliving my child(ren), if I ever had any. I just don't know how any parent could get through it. It's not right. Death is such an ugly thing, even when a person passes peacefully in their sleep from natural causes. The rest of us left behind suffer alot. Sally Fields really did a good job portraying that, and the other ladies did equally good jobs trying to snap her out of it and console her with something that was able to bring laughter and humor through the tears and grief

      Truvey was always trying to connect w/Spud, hoping to share & receive some affection. Spud has just admitted he would be devastated "if something like that happened to him".(Truvey dying). Distracts himself from his emotions, by messing with the wax. I think the emotion on Truvey/Dolly's face, is because he has, finally admitted that he loves her. She says "it makes you beautiful" & he is looking straight at his beautiful wife. Dolly is gorgeous, marvelous and talented !

    It's been 20 years since I've first seen this movie and yet I always cry at this scene each time even though I know what happens. My sister died when she was 14 years old and it definitely took a toll on me and altered my life in many ways. It wasn't until this movie, until I saw this scene, that made me realize how my mother must've felt.
    Even someone so strong can be broken down. To any parent out there that has lost a child, my thoughts are with you. I know you always planned to go first, which is normal and the way it should be, but you'll always have those memories to reflect on. Be grateful you were able to have them exist in your life, even if the timing wasn't enough. There's never enough time.

      Even though it's been over two years now since my dad died suddenly after a heart attack, I still ask: "Why?" It still hurts. There's an empty space in my life and everyone else's that can't be filled. It doesn't get easier. You just learn to live with the loss.

      You don't even realize how patronizing and tone-deaf your words are? Do you think your preaching will make them feel better? Do you think YOU can lecture parents of dead children what they should think or feel? You are telling them to be ''grateful''? Would you come to Ukraine and tell parents of MURDERED babies that they need to be ''grateful''? How ignorant are you? PISS OFF!!!!! You still don't understand a single thing!

    I don't know how many takes they needed for Sally Field to capture those expressions and reactions but it's priceless. From the "wth??" at the start to "omg I don't want to laugh"... the whole thing is perfect. And the buildup is amazing also. Her swings from anger to frustration to utter sadness and back are just... wow...
    Olympia Dukakis reminds me so much of my grandmother in this scene. She pulls off a southern matriarch so well. My grandmother has always tried to defuse tense situations with humor. "Here... hit this" will go down as one of the best lines in a movie ever.

    Sally Field is such a tremendous actress. This scene especially is just so well done, so emotionally riveting. The entire cast of this film does a wonderful job, but Sally really hits hit home here
