Makayla Singleton you can actually scientifically die from a broken heart because with always being sad a surge of stress hormones basically attack your heart and causes short-term muscle failure
You can tell in certain parts of this movie Sara Jane really did love her mother..but she felt life would be easier for her by passing as white which sadly broke her mother's heart .💔
One thing that gets me about this scene is the irony. All her life, Sarah Jane was ashamed of her mother and didn't claim her. However, in the end, she ran to her mother's casket screaming that she was her daughter, and no one recognized her.
Yes, was about to comment the same/along those lines. When I'm feeling emotional/need a good cry I watch this scene & the one when they see each other for the last time.
Yes. My Uncle was like that with my Grandfather. My Grandfather wanted his Son to work hard, do things by the book, take care of his family but he didn't always do things by the book. My Grandfather almost wrote him out of the will but My Mother told him not to, They did make peace in their own way but I know My Uncle would give anything for him to be alive.
Also The Funeral I t ink was in Harlem, NY which is a mecca in Black History. The Woman was so loved with all of the mourners. Even White Folks came to honor her passing. I bet back in the day she was more of a Mother to some of those children whose family she worked for than they were.
@Lynda Anthony not necessarily. Many didn't find out until the person passing passed away and their birth certificate revealed the truth. Passing was a necessity in a racist country.
That scene broke my heart. I saw it in college in film class. The whole class was crying. That was just too much to process. Her mother loved her to death, and only at the end did she realize just how much she loved her mother, but it was too late. What kind of a country makes you ashamed of your own mother? That makes you deny who you are just so you can be treated like a human being?
She was active in the church, and she mentioned earlier in the film that she belonged to several lodges. She also impacted many during her life; like their old milkman from the old flat they lived in before Lora made it big. She was still sending him money every Christmas.
She wanted a big funeral which she stated on her death bed. And if there is a band playing with horses, naturally most people would go outside to watch it and pay thier respects
Susan Kohner (Sarah Jane) and Juanita Moore (Annie) were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscars (Lost to Shelley Winters for The Diary of Anne Frank)
I DO NOT CARE how many times I have seen this movie over the years..... I ALWAYS CRY AT THE END. 😢 One of The Most Saddest but Most Beautiful scenes to have ever graced the screen. 😊
@Willie Gordon because she saved her money for it an told the white that's how she wanted to go. An ms laura honored her wishes. U must have watched the whole movie u must watch it...
Lol this made me chuckle but it's true. My dad was a very manly man and he also always had to go to the restroom as well. May both of our fathers rest.
I can relate to this film. My mother was black but we children took after our father who was white Also gives me an insight into how my mother must have felt when people saw a black woman with white children
My daughters dad is extremely white (literally like an extra from Sound of Music) and she is very fair skinned with blonde hair. I used to have people say “that’s not your baby is it?”. Twice I had people think that I was kidnapping her, once at the post office and once at the grocery store. When I said I was her mom I got no apologies or even a sheepish look.
@@darielg7299 In this version he was white passing in the first version he was White. They censored it since interracial relationships was still very taboo.
I understand you completely. I lost my own beloved Mother last year. Tonight I watched this wonderful movie, and my God how I cried when I saw that scene. I miss my Mum more than words can ever say. I think about all those times when I should have told her how much I loved her. And I did, every now and then. But I should have done it ten times more often. She was the gold of my life. Mum, I love you so terribly much, and I miss you so terribly much!!!!!!! 😢😢😢
Still makes me cry after 55 years of watching this. Don't forget to watch Mahalia Jackson sing "Trouble of this World" then watch this. All that goes together for a cinematic master piece.
I just did that. That song was played at my grandmother's funeral because she loved it. I did not go to the funeral. My mom told me about it and it made her so sad that she couldn't ever listen to that song again. Now both my grandma and Mom are gone. Miss them both.
That was a beautiful homegoing, but you can always tell who didn't do right by the person that died. They're the ones doing ALL the hollering, screaming, laying on the casket like Sarah Jane. Lesson: Whatever problems you have had with that person, you need to take time to fix it. Give them their flowers while their living because, when it's all over, there's nothing you can do about it. If you don't take time to fix it, that guilt will eat you alive for the rest of your life. You ONLY get one mother. Take some time out for her, and cherish every moment with her. Wonderful scene!!!
Hands Down thee saddest scene in a movie cinema! The fact she told her mother she didn’t want to see her again, then tries to pass off as White, only to learn that her mom died and comes to her funeral crying her eyes out, and most of the black community didn’t even believe she was her Daughter! This movie is a timeless classic!
I've been watching this movie for YEARS & I still cry when Mahalia J. starts to sing. Be PROUD of your heritage, everyone brings something to the table called LIFE!!!
One of my all time favorite movies. The pain of being denied in life by others because of the color of your skin but then to be denied by the child you birthed and loved. I couldn’t imagine.
It's true that someone can die from a broken heart. Poor thing, she succumb to her ultimate saddness. I could never to that to my mother (may she rest in peace). I love her so much and was proud to be her son and her my mother.
Ok but to be fair to Sara Jane, Annie really should have left her alone as soon as Sara Jane asked her to. No matter how unfair this feels to a parent, they need to respect the boundaries of their adult children.
Sofang. It was more the poverty and lack of opportunity that SJ hated. She really did love her mother. I think she disliked that her mother put up with it, and she hated how people treated her mother. That's loving her mother. Just because she doesn't want to be like her doesn't mean she didn't love her.
I'm crying! It hurt me deep in the heart! No matter what race your mother is, or what race you want to be, treat her right. Once you lose her, you'll never get her back.
That's is right. Because you only get one Mother the love that she had for her daughter wanting the very best for her. Only to be treated lik a nobody.
One of the best movies ever made. She should feel so guilty of how she treated her mother. Everytime she closes her eyes she should have nightmares. Too late too apologize now sweetie.
She told her mother in one scene if you should see me on the street act like you don't know me, Oh my God when momma died she yelled thats my mother and didn't care who knew it!! This movie is a classic and yet true when it comes to racism
I often wished they had written a sequel to this Movie. It would tell the Story of Sarah Jane coming to terms with her being a Black Woman in society, and how she GREW to Love her Blackness. It would tell the back STORY of why she felt she had to treat her mother with such shameful disrespect. Her Mother would come to her in a Dream and tell her how proud she is of her.🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺💔💔💔
Every time... everyTIME... never fails. I always cry during this scene and when Mahalia Jackson sings. This movie is a real tear jerker. I can never contain my emotions watching this. 🖤
God knows how many times my sister in law watched this movie, enough times to have horses and carriage escorting to the cemetery, just like you see in the movie, it was her favorite movie, may both continue to rest in heaven
These children need to wake up from their old hateful hearts God gives you only one birth mom and for those mothers who truly love their children in spite of the way they treat (Mama ) they will reap what they sow
I love this movie ! I used it as a kinda teaching film for my nieces & daughter when they were in their mid teens . Trust me when I say : MESSAGE RECEIVED ! Always remember you only get one mother ; Cherish her no matter what , because when she's gone there's no replacing her . I Love You mom ! R.I.H. ❤💔😇
This movie is so sad, but real at the same time, it makes me miss my grandmother but I know she's well taken care of in a good place. ♥️♥️♥️ Love Mahalia Jackson's singing, truly legendary, truly iconic for it's time too.
No matter your race this movie pierces the heart. It trancends past everything else that can divide and unifies people through the heart. I cry like a baby Every time I watch it.
I saw this movie many times, and I always cried a lot. And now that my mother is gone, the pain is even greater. Mom, wherever you are, forgive me if at some point I made you suffer. We are bound for ever.
Besides this scene, there are a few other scenes in the story that are truly heartbreaking. The one that always tore my heart out, is when Annie goes to see Sarah Jane for the last time, she promises to leave her alone, but she wants to hold her in her arms one last time, like she was still her baby. OMG, talk about turning on the waterworks!
This movie. Had me in tears how the daughter mistreated her mom didnt want anyone to know that her mom was Black. Disowning her .And her mom had so much love for her. But her mom went on to be with Jesus
And I'm still loving this movie in 2020!!!! The more I keep living......if I'm here in 2050!! This movie....!!! (Annie!!! Best Supporting Oscar to Miss Juanita Moore!! She should have gotten it!) Susan Kohner played the part well!!!! Awesome cast and story....Lana Turner, Robert Alda, Sandra Dee, John Gavin!
Susun Kohner was a white woman who passes for black. How ironic and ICONIC! This was the last movie my mother gave to me as a gift! How beautiful it was! She died several months later from cancer so this resonates with me in a shattering way! As a gay, white man, this impacted me in the most loving way. 😭😫😞🤧
I watched this movie as a child , I was 8 , my sister was 6. We both cried SOOOOO MUCH. And both me and my sister wanted to sleep in Mamas bed, cuddling with her...
Oh lord I vividly remember this epic scene watching it with my mom when I was 11 years old ...we were crying a river 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤓🤓🤓MAHALIA JACKSON STOLE THE SHOW! 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
Tears running down my face. It's the peoples faces watching the extravagant funeral procession given for a black woman that gets me every time. The women and the small children. A funeral on this scale was practically unheard of at the time for a black woman. Heartbreaking because the movie was of its time, The 50's with all it's racism and unrest in America.
I feel like this part gets glossed over, but Annie is rich. Annie isn't just the maid, she has essentially ran Lora's life, which has allowed her to succeed as a rich actress. Annie doesn't pay rent or utilities and is paid an above average wage. She has her life structured so that she can attend church and church clubs and since she is rich, she can afford to give a good chunk of her income to them. This and her kind, pious nature means that she is a pillar of the community not just within the black Christian community, but as we see, even within Hollywood, where she's known as the person you need to get in good with if you want access to Lora. All together, Annie is a powerful force, which just makes her death that much more depressing
Everytime I watch this scene, it breaks my heart! Her mom truly died from a broken heart...So very sad it took her mom to die for her to acknowledge her!!!
This is the most Heartbreaking scene of ALL times,,, Annie died of a broken heart !!!!!!!! All because her daughter NEED to pass for WHITE an deny her black mother,,,!!!! Many mothers and fathers will know Annie's pain!!!! Especially with all the bi- racial children being raised these days, ONE PARENT WILL FEEL HER PAIN!!!!!!!!,😢😢
This scene pissed me off so bad because she treated her mom like shit the entire movie. She only showed love after her mom was dead and no one would see her mom again.
Tears automatically come to my eyes from Mahalia singing to Sara Jane running to say goodbye to the woman who loved her more than life itself! So grateful I can still say it to my Mom!❤
Still a emotional tearjerker! It amazes me this film wasn't nominated for a an Oscar (which when you consider that year Ben Hur, Nun Story and Diary of Anne Frank were the competition!) Still moving...
It's true...her mother died from a BROKEN HEART.....something she will have to live with for the rest of her life....
So true. She killed her spirit
It pays to treat your Mother right and show her Love while she is still alive
Duronda Davis she dogged her mother...that was a shame.
Makayla Singleton you can actually scientifically die from a broken heart because with always being sad a surge of stress hormones basically attack your heart and causes short-term muscle failure

They recognized her. They were shocked to see her

The sad thing is Sara Jane didn't seem happy living her "white" life
Thus the title “Imitation” of life
You have a good point. She didn't seem happy at all.
Good Juju Because it was a fake life
@Lynda Anthony not necessarily. Many didn't find out until the person passing passed away and their birth certificate revealed the truth. Passing was a necessity in a racist country.
She wasnt true to herself
In this life you’ve only got one mother... don’t ever forget that.
Amen
Amen to that. I graduated in 82 and my mother often referred to this movie. We don't know what we have until it's gone
Amen 😭😭😭😭
Truth
Maybe. Remember that there is some mothers so damn unfit it's terrible.
If you’re not crying within the last 10 minutes of this movie, Check your pulse. This scene gets me every time.
𝖤𝗏𝖾𝗋𝗒 𝖳𝗂𝗆𝖾!
Everytime God this made my heart bleed
I’ve seen probably 100 times and it still gets me.
Every Single Time! Got me ugly crying Chile.
True, Me and my momma are clearly black, but I cry every time 😢😆
When she opened up the doors & said “mama” my heart almost came out my chest. Thank you Father God for letting me still have my mommy.
Hug her every day ❤️
Amen 🙏🏽 me too❤😇😇
Crazy thing is she wanted to be white so bad tht at this point she was as she tried to get over there the. Police STILL wouldn't let her get by
You won't always have her so stfu
Cherish her and let her know how much you love her!

You're Education was worth every penny!
I know your comment was 6 months ago but the answer to the 1st question is A WICKED an Perverse ONE! God bless you.
Exactly a wicked and cruel country!!! So sad😥😥😥
America.
The honor in this funeral. She was so very loved by everyone...except her daughter. This movie always hits the heart deeply.
I know it’s just a movie but the amount of people that attended Annie’s funeral was like that of a superstar.
That’s what I noticed. Wonder why there were so many people there?
I was wondering same thing. Man I want to watch the whole thing
She was active in the church, and she mentioned earlier in the film that she belonged to several lodges. She also impacted many during her life; like their old milkman from the old flat they lived in before Lora made it big. She was still sending him money every Christmas.
That was strange, but then again its just a movie. Would Mahalia Jackson sing anywhere?
She wanted a big funeral which she stated on her death bed. And if there is a band playing with horses, naturally most people would go outside to watch it and pay thier respects
The actress playing the daughter did a phenomenal job. To have that kind of grief in your voice? Amazing

I DO NOT CARE how many times I have seen this movie over the years.....
I ALWAYS CRY AT THE END. 😢
One of The Most Saddest but Most Beautiful scenes to have ever graced the screen. 😊
Me too smh😭😭😢😰
Me too 💜👍🏿😭
I do too. I am sitting here right with with tears running down my cheeks
@Willie Gordon because she saved her money for it an told the white that's how she wanted to go. An ms laura honored her wishes. U must have watched the whole movie u must watch it...
Me five
A real Mother's love goes beyond a selfish child's heart. It's a deep statement.
I’ve watched this movie at least 40 times and I still bawl like a baby every single time. Fantastic classic. ❤️
Me too 😭😭🙋
Me too
Every single time, at such a young age this scene taught me an important lesson. One of my favorite movies of all times.
Me too 🤗
Me too.
I bawl every single time
My father may he rest in peace use to have to "go to the bathroom" every time this scene came on lol.
Awwwwwwww... Pops..

That's so true!
Thank you!
Greetings from Germany and I wish all the best!

I’m so glad my granny showed me this movie when i was younger. Taught me a lot about life man...
Sons & daughters always love and remember your mothers because a mother love is forever!
I cry every time I see this movie and I've seen it many times,I dont understand how can you reject a Mothers Love
I've seen this a million times and I ALWAYS tear up
That's why you got to give your mother the love she deserves while she is still living an lot of young children needs to watch this movie
yes
I fully concur.
Amen!
I'm crying! It hurt me deep in the heart! No matter what race your mother is, or what race you want to be, treat her right. Once you lose her, you'll never get her back.

Hope she was happy since she got her where she wanted her, essentially she put her in a coffin long before she died.

Her Mother would come to her in a Dream and tell her how proud she is of her.🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺💔💔💔
I have always imagined that scenario myself… I imagine she opened a school for colored girls named after her mom
@Marco Nava Her character was a black Woman passing as White. The actress Susan Koener was Latino/ Jewish.
I want a sequel as well
@@amanasro The actress was white. The character was mixed. Nothing black about her.
@Amonsaro you should write the script!! I bet You’d make a great movie 🎥 out of it! ❤️
Momma...you only get one. I can never do enough for mine. Never.
Damn mom knew a lot of people
It's all in the family.
fultzz2010 she was the woman who treated everyone the same no matter rich or poor. She was everyone best friend and church lady.
She was an Eastern Star
No mother could want her child to feel this level of regret. This is a lesson to hear and love your mother who loved you.
Best movie I ever seen in my life
Powerful scene 🥺
Every time... everyTIME... never fails. I always cry during this scene and when Mahalia Jackson sings. This movie is a real tear jerker. I can never contain my emotions watching this. 🖤
She finally got what she truly wished for all her life... at the end.
That has GOT TO BE one of the SADDEST ENDINGS in a movie I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!
It is😭...oddly enough though, I keep watching it every chance I get😭😭😭
I just done watching it and I agree
"I'll always love my Mama, she's my baby girl....I'll always love my Mama, she brought me in this world...You only get one, you only get one..."
God knows how many times my sister in law watched this movie, enough times to have horses and carriage escorting to the cemetery, just like you see in the movie, it was her favorite movie, may both continue to rest in heaven
One of my favorite movies! I watched with my Nana and best friend Theresa LORD REST BOTH THIER SOULS.
There’s nothing like a Mother’s Love!♥️
Her mother died of a broke heart. Her daughter with the guilt.
She should feel guilty. She was awful to her mother.
These children need to wake up from their old hateful hearts God gives you only one birth mom and for those mothers who truly love their children in spite of the way they treat (Mama ) they will reap what they sow
@@sherrystafford36 Some "birth mothers" are not capable of love themselves.
I love this movie !
I used it as a kinda teaching film for my nieces & daughter when they were in their mid teens .
Trust me when I say : MESSAGE RECEIVED !
Always remember you only get one mother ; Cherish her no matter what , because when she's gone there's no replacing her .
I Love You mom ! R.I.H. ❤💔😇
Mercy God. This gets me every time. I wish people knew how short time is and you have to make amends now. Never put it off before it’s too late

One of the best movies I've seen!
No matter your race this movie pierces the heart. It trancends past everything else that can divide and unifies people through the heart. I cry like a baby Every time I watch it.
I see this movie for the first time with 12 years with my famely. For me this movie is the best. Un grand compliment aux acteurs. 😥❤
I saw this movie many times, and I always cried a lot. And now that my mother is gone, the pain is even greater. Mom, wherever you are, forgive me if at some point I made you suffer. We are bound for ever.
Besides this scene, there are a few other scenes in the story that are truly heartbreaking. The one that always tore my heart out, is when Annie goes to see Sarah Jane for the last time, she promises to leave her alone, but she wants to hold her in her arms one last time, like she was still her baby. OMG, talk about turning on the waterworks!
I only seen this once and cried like a baby , great classic ...I LOVE YOU MOTHER 💜
This is still one of the greatest movies of all time
This movie. Had me in tears how the daughter mistreated her mom didnt want anyone to know that her mom was Black. Disowning her .And her mom had so much love for her. But her mom went on to be with Jesus
Her mom went on to be wit jesus.
Great movie Mahalia Jackson music at the end is just on a different level
Yes it is
And I'm still loving this movie in 2020!!!! The more I keep living......if I'm here in 2050!! This movie....!!! (Annie!!! Best Supporting Oscar to Miss Juanita Moore!! She should have gotten it!) Susan Kohner played the part well!!!! Awesome cast and story....Lana Turner, Robert Alda, Sandra Dee, John Gavin!
Best movie ever besides the color purple.
One of a handful of movie scenes guaranteed to make me cry. 😭
This scene gets me every time 😭😭😭
One of the best movie 😢 watch is when I was a child 😭😭😭😭
Yes
I cry every time I watch this scene. 😭
Me too
I watch this as a little girl it's still make me cry up to this day
Susun Kohner was a white woman who passes for black. How ironic and ICONIC! This was the last movie my mother gave to me as a gift! How beautiful it was!

I love this classic the mother in the movie that was my mother's character and beautiful heart! I cry every time!
This is one of the saddest movies ever made. I always cry.
Not to me
Love, love, love this movie
If it's any comfort, a true mother loves you no matter what, and forgives all the hurt you gave her.
This movie has always made me cry and appreciate the people in my life. 😢
As a little girl when I saw this movie I cried all night . I'm crying now.
I watched this movie as a child , I was 8 , my sister was 6. We both cried SOOOOO MUCH. And both me and my sister wanted to sleep in Mamas bed, cuddling with her...
Don't let the time pass without showing your love for your mother. When she passes it will be too late. Make her feel like everyday is Mother's Day.
Oh lord I vividly remember this epic scene watching it with my mom when I was 11 years old ...we were crying a river 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤓🤓🤓MAHALIA JACKSON STOLE THE SHOW! 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
Ain’t nothing like a mother u only get 1 🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽
I always cry at the end! Best tearterker made! Classic Love your Momma and appreciate them. I sure miss mine! In heaven Ill always love you momma!❤
Tears running down my face. It's the peoples faces watching the extravagant funeral procession given for a black woman that gets me every time. The women and the small children. A funeral on this scale was practically unheard of at the time for a black woman. Heartbreaking because the movie was of its time, The 50's with all it's racism and unrest in America.
I feel like this part gets glossed over, but Annie is rich. Annie isn't just the maid, she has essentially ran Lora's life, which has allowed her to succeed as a rich actress. Annie doesn't pay rent or utilities and is paid an above average wage. She has her life structured so that she can attend church and church clubs and since she is rich, she can afford to give a good chunk of her income to them. This and her kind, pious nature means that she is a pillar of the community not just within the black Christian community, but as we see, even within Hollywood, where she's known as the person you need to get in good with if you want access to Lora. All together, Annie is a powerful force, which just makes her death that much more depressing
When I saw this movie years ago there wasn't a dry eye in the movie.
Everytime I watch this scene, it breaks my heart! Her mom truly died from a broken heart...So very sad it took her mom to die for her to acknowledge her!!!
Mary Jane, did not know what true love is, at times it take death to truly find this out.
This is the most Heartbreaking scene of ALL times,,, Annie died of a broken heart !!!!!!!! All because her daughter NEED to pass for WHITE an deny her black mother,,,!!!! Many mothers and fathers will know Annie's pain!!!! Especially with all the bi- racial children being raised these days, ONE PARENT WILL FEEL HER PAIN!!!!!!!!,😢😢
This scene pissed me off so bad because she treated her mom like shit the entire movie. She only showed love after her mom was dead and no one would see her mom again.
One of my Mothers favorite movies 🎥
I went and saw this movie when it was first released. I cryed like crazy and I still do.
I'm 44 watched this for 40 years n still makes my cry class film ❤❤❤😑
The most emotional scene from a movie
This is absolutely relatable. I love this scene. Anyone who has lost their mother feels the same pain as she does.
Tears automatically come to my eyes from Mahalia singing to Sara Jane running to say goodbye to the woman who loved her more than life itself! So grateful I can still say it to my Mom!❤
I have never cried so hard
I’ve watched this movie many times. I love it ❤️❤️💔🙏🏼
Cry every single time! 😭😭
This scene should have been a few moments longer
Still a emotional tearjerker!
It amazes me this film wasn't nominated for a an Oscar (which when you consider that
year Ben Hur, Nun Story and Diary of Anne Frank were the competition!) Still moving...
