People's reactions when they find out someone they care about has cancer...has always confused and frustrated me. When I told my family, it was just like another day at the office. I couldn't tell if they were trying not to freak out in front of me, or what? People wouldn't visit in the hospital, I found out later, because they "didn't know what to say." It would have been cathartic to have a reaction like they show in this movie, where people have all sorts of emotions - even anger. It's so much better than apathy...
that is very strange, I'm sorry you found out about such a scary diagnosis & then nobody reached out like they naturally should have! I cannot imagine going through that or doing that to someone. I hope it's a type that is curable & you found it early 🙏 I wish you love & peace 💗
I think we all deal with it differently. When I had to tell my parents my diagnosis, and again when I was going in for surgery, I told my mom "Do not cry." Not like as in, comforting her, but as in ordering her (kindly). I could not handle that reaction on top of processing all my own emotions. It's just a very personal experience. I'm so sorry if you didn't feel supported or cared for, that must have been very hard.
When I found out my dad had stage 4 cancer, me and my sister acted like it was no big deal. We told him he’s got this and it’ll all be fine. But whenever we weren’t around him we cried and prayed and were worried sick.. we just didn’t want him to feel bad for us
I have the best stepmom on Earth. My dad has been dead 20 years and she is still one of the most important people in my life. That woman's strength and support are invaluable to me. She is my hero.
Me too. I've watched it many times and I cried every time. It touched me so deeply especially that part when Susan told the daughter ' take me with you......' my God I couldn't check the tears streaming down my face.
This movie came out when one of my friends/teachers was going through ovarian cancer. This movie was very hard for me to watch. Unfortunately, my friend passed away in 2003. She was so inspirational loving caring person. She will always be missed, but not forgotten. 😢
I remember when my mom was first diagnosed with cancer, breast cancer, I just stared at her when she told me, she recently finished chemo, but, she still needs other procedures and treatments done, my cousins threw her a small surprise party at my Nana’s on her last day of chemo.
This is such a beautiful movie. The acting is absolutely out of this world. I know Susan's character acts cruel but you love her anyway, because she's a complex character and you understand the emotions she's struggling with and why she goes on the attack.
For all of you fighting cancer or knows anyone who is fighting etc Im rooting for you and them I hope a day comes when its all curable ❤❤❤ Bless you all!
It's been curable but with oligarchy still in place people like you believe that it's not. Keeping it around makes a lot of people very rich. There's no "cure" for a reason.
@@awill3992 why would they hide that information when they and their families are people who could get cancer too. I work in government health and, not only have I or my colleagues never heard of this, we can't even organise the correct photocopying paper, let alone plan some worldwide cover up.
When I found out I was 39 yrs old and had a 4 yr old. My parents and other friends and family were devastated. Funny thing, I was the one encouraging them and trying to make them laugh. I didn’t have my melt down angry moment until I was alone in the bathtub at 11:00 at night. I was fighting and being strong for everyone else but I had a very big support group with my family and friends. Being at the hospital for surgeries was hard for them but several of them were there, even though I was loopy afterwards and sick a couple of times too. Cancer is hard because it doesn’t just affect the person with it but those close to them and everyone deals with it in their own way. I am grateful everyday for those that were around and there for me. This month of December marks 10 yrs and counting.
Every word in both scenes felt so real and so pertinent! The acting of everyone, including the young boy, was straight to the heart. Just wished no one would get old and/or sick.
I also want to comment on Jena Malone's acting. ICONIC! My heart breaks for her every time I watch this film. Ive never even visited Hollywood but it's on my bucket list of things to do, but whatever you guys are doing out there to create these kinds of performances, DON'T EVER STOP! Yes they're stories, and yes a lot of them aren't real, but so many of them people keep in their brains in their own lives. The strength of these women is something I've carried within myself and when this popped up on my recommended tab on UA-cam it took me down this emotional remembering of what actual actors are, and what they can do. Julia, Susan, and Jena, you guys are iconic! The world needs more powerful stories like this. Not this half-assed storytelling that we are all being bombarded with. We need things that transcend. This movie transcends! It's a vessel to teach young women how to be strong. I am not trans or anything, I'm a male who has largely identified as gay, but the older I get the more I want a family. And these roles make me think about Mya Rudolp MOTHERING on SNL. Look it up. Just Women are the greatest blessing mankind could ever hope for. Period. Love you all dearly! And thank you for your work on this film!
I'm so sorry. Of course it hurts. My Dad died 24 years ago from lung cancer and it still hurts, I've learned to live with the good memories, but it still hurts ❤
I remember going through this exact same talk with my mom and sister about my dad who was fighting Alzheimer’s but the dementia kind and we were all torn and unfortunately he just passed away this year after fighting 10 years I love and miss him everyday! ❤️
Sometimes good movies are all about this: feelings, emotions, expressions, lines, and the simple life. No Special effects, no CGI, no mass production...sometimes it's just this: a slice of life. One of the best movies I've ever seen.
Cancer is a very sensitive matter in my family I lost my dad to cancer 3 years ago this month! 💔 my sister had breast cancer last year can't stand to talk about it or hear about it
My mom's doctor handled it so inappropriately. He told my dad during HIS visit and my devastated dad had to drive home and tell my mom her test results. She told eachbof us kids separately, according to what was appropriate to age group. She picked me up from school during my senior year to tell me. I remember being so scared. She went on to fight for 15 years, going in and out of remission. I'm so thankful for the time I had with her.
I can totally understand not telling the kids straight away. It's hard enough to worry about yourself, without having to worry about them. It also takes a long time to digest the information yourself, let alone help them absorb it.
@@MsJubjubbird Maybe not right away, but not for an endless period of time. It breaks trust in them beyond repair. My mother waited until two days before she went on dialysis before telling me and my brother that she was sick at all. I haven't trusted her not to lie or keep secrets ever since. I do my best to keep my distance from her, and instead, spend time with others that I can actually trust.
@@robertsander8509bratty? Possibly. A teenager full of heightened emotions and big changes in her life and having to mentally process all of that? I don’t blame her for feeling that way.
I remember when my mommy was diagnosed with 2 types of cancer. Small cell lung cancer and bone cancer. I cared for her and I have autism we understood each other completely in fact her medical team said that they never seen a mother daughter relationship like my dad forbids me from grieving
I still feel this girls hurt! As a child of a parent that cheated and later married that person to watch this movie and actually living ut in real life when it aired in theaters.. I knew the hurt behind her telling her father “it’s his job to walk out on his mother” essentially his family and his daughter. Oh, the pain conveyed in this scene still has me balling every time!
@@cealcat7063 Thank you for asking. A week before Christmas, they had to remove the inside of my prostate. What they took out equaled the size of 2 normal size prostates & it came back malignant. Turns out, I have 2 separate cancers but the doctor said that the Invasive Melanoma is more serious
I watch this movie all the time. Now, it's much harder to watch. I never thought my life would mimic this movie. Now, I only have my Stepmom. I lost my Dad to cancer at a young age & my mom 6 years before him. Cancer has taken 12 out of my 22-person family. I still love this movie, it just hits a lot closer to home now. 💓💓💓
I had this talk a little younger than the daughter. Everyone was crying, but my dad said (still very serious) that it would probably take about 10 years. 10 years seemed so far away, and he was still going to do treatment, so I wasn’t too worried. The opposite reaction to this girl. That was well over ten years ago and he’s still alive so I’m glad I didn’t worry.
This movie *wrecked* me. My Dad died at 41 in 1996 from pancreatic cancer. Another movie (which oddly has Jena Malone in it as well) which depicts this difficult subject matter really well is "Life as a House".
This this was a great extremely very moving movie when I saw it it just tore my heart out. I was it was something that really hit home because that’s what my mom died of and I know firsthand of how it feels when you lose somebody that you love and losing them in a way that they’re not walking out of your life that just Gonna die sooner than anticipated I think at my mom every millisecond of the day she’s been gone now on October 11 at 2:44 in the afternoon it’ll be three years for me so I know how it feels to lose someone that you love but I was blessed. I had it for 71 years
Almost all the women in my family get small cell breast cancer. None of us have the BRACA genes but since we’re all over the world and small cell breast cancer is extremely rare, it accounts for less than 1% of breast cancers, it’s genetic. Then there’s me, my body decided multi-organ failure due to internal malformations was the way to go. My three daughters understand though, we didn’t hide anything from them.
I'm so sorry you're going through that I hope that you can make it through or at least make it to where you're comfortable❤ I'll be praying for you if that's okay ❤
@@shawnagrubb9958 thank you. Unfortunately I am terminal but we’re enjoying our time together and making lots of lovely memories. And I live in a death with dignity state, so when it starts getting really bad I don’t have to suffer. But thank you again, that’s lovely of you
This was when trailers didn't give any everything about a movie. First time my mom was in remission we all watched this as a family. Good movie. Wrong setting to watch lol.
🥺 i always loved that when the end was near, it was almost like she gifted her children to her. But they also had to learn to get along, & bond for her to even get to that point. She just wanted her kids to be loved and safe 🥺
This movie is so underrated very deep sudject matter life seems so unfair at times the things we have to deal with the good the bad and the ugly but to have any kind of a chance is a blessing . 6:55
This is still one of the most underrated films. The ideals of this film are mandatory for civilization! Period. These two women, learning to respect one another, is what life is about! This is why I love actresses like Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts! They just, they are women warriors! And they made a film about what it means to be a woman warrior! We need more films like this here in 2024-2025. Who knew they made this film so long ago, and we'd still need this story, and sentiment of this story in 2025.
This movie always makes me think of my parents. After they divorced and I lived half the time with each, I caught each of them watching it separately. I always thought that meant this just had to be a great movie. And it is.
I was 16 when my mom died of breast/ovarian cancer She was only 51. My sister died at 56 from the same thing. Me and my other two sisters have had breast cancer too. I hate cancer. I am sorry for your loss.
I only ever watched this movie once. I was a kid 8-10 years old, I balled my eyes out. This movie traumatized the hell out of me regarding death surrounding loved ones. Never seen an ad or a video pop until now. Odd it’s come up as a suggestion during one of the most difficult times in my life. Don’t know if I should watch it.
Miss Sarandons brother owns a bar down the road here.....atleast he did pre covid.....would see Miss Sarandon there once in a while......the town would buzz with "Sudan Sarandon is in town".....she is quote pretty actually in person.....have smiled and said hello....she was gracious but wanted to be left alone with her drink. Nice lady👍👍👍👍
I was 29 when I got diagnosed with breast cancer... after the call from the DR. My husband and I went to the gym... didn't know what else to do... took about a week to settle and have a break down
She should have talked to the kids separately. The tone she went with was perfect for the younger one, but with the older one it comes across as patronizing and fake. She needed to explain this to her daughter in a way that was more serious, honest, and vulnerable. Not trying to minimize the situation.
Isabelle was little concern Jackie. Jackie to afraid to tell people that she has cancer and afraid for her kids ex-husband children and Isabelle. She had every right to snoop kinda. Never hid a serious illness
When this came out, the “secret” was kept secret. My riend’s close aunt died of breast cancer. She was really sad and her family was in Australia and she couldn’t go. I thought to myself “ I’ll take her to move to take moms off of it. “ I chose this one. 😑😞
Jenna Malone deserved an award for this scene
Her acting was beyond superb ❤

This was a hard scene. My mom died when I was 15 of cancer.
I’m so sorry for your loss, but at least she’s in a better place and no longer suffering.
@@Strongwidow5585 thank you.
I was 16 when my mom died of breast/ovarian cancer She was only 51. My sister died at 56 from the same thing. Me and my other two sisters have had breast cancer too. I hate cancer. I am sorry for your loss.
@@stacydavis1682 I’m sorry for your loss and everything you have had to go through! My mom was 48 when she died.
Ugh i cant watch this movie without bawling
For some reason, the following two short lines get to me:
“Are you dying?”
“Not today!”
I only ever watched this movie once. I was a kid 8-10 years old, I balled my eyes out. This movie traumatized the hell out of me regarding death surrounding loved ones. Never seen an ad or a video pop until now. Odd it’s come up as a suggestion during one of the most difficult times in my life. Don’t know if I should watch it.
This movie still gets to me especially this part😢
This movie deserved an oscar
For someone who’s kids are everything to him,he’s certainly doesn’t have very many scenes together in the movie,with them.
Miss Sarandons brother owns a bar down the road here.....atleast he did pre covid.....would see Miss Sarandon there once in a while......the town would buzz with "Sudan Sarandon is in town".....she is quote pretty actually in person.....have smiled and said hello....she was gracious but wanted to be left alone with her drink.
Nice lady👍👍👍👍

I love Isabell. Jackie drives me crazy through much of this film.
I remember I cried so much watching this as a young girl.
I lost my mom to cancer in 2009. No kid should lose a parent to something so evil as cancer
OooOh that last line!
I was 29 when I got diagnosed with breast cancer... after the call from the DR. My husband and I went to the gym... didn't know what else to do... took about a week to settle and have a break down
Kids deserve the truth
i like seeing even though they're not together the father is supporting his former wife, which in my opinion is how things should be
The line in this that always killed me...."Are you dying?"
"Not today..."😭😭😭
He still loves her
The girl said the right thing ! If their dad cared so much he would not have married someone else !
“No that’s your job.” 😳
One of the hardest conversations a parent can have with their kids is about cancer and dying
It has to be dreadful to tell your loved ones that you’re going to die. It’s terrible.
What a fantastic movie! I still love it!
This movie was make me gonna cry so drama family.
I had a beautiful step mom. They're the best ❤❤❤
Another great actor
SARANDAN
She should have talked to the kids separately. The tone she went with was perfect for the younger one, but with the older one it comes across as patronizing and fake. She needed to explain this to her daughter in a way that was more serious, honest, and vulnerable. Not trying to minimize the situation.
Cancer is an awful thing my aunt faught Cancer for 2 years and after she passed away 😢
LOVE THIS FILM,GREAT ACTING❤
I just love Susan Sharandon and I love this movie including all the actors.
Isabelle was little concern Jackie.
Jackie to afraid to tell people that she has cancer and afraid for her kids ex-husband children and Isabelle.
She had every right to snoop kinda.
Never hid a serious illness
I love this movie! Great actors, and a tearjerker
Great movie
Did y’all really bleep out “damn..” ? 😂😅
Well written.
Top 5 of favorite movies. Susan Sarandon is just the greatest!
Such a touching movie
BOY THIS IS A GOOD ASS MOVIE 🍿
I cry every time I watch this movie
When this came out, the “secret” was kept secret.
My riend’s close aunt died of breast cancer. She was really sad and her family was in Australia and she couldn’t go. I thought to myself “ I’ll take her to move to take moms off of it. “
I chose this one. 😑😞
Such a brutal but beautiful movie
She was testing her to see if she was gonna be okay dying and leaving her with her kids.
This is still one of the best movies ever made
I've never seen this movie before but now i wanna watch it, this scene moved me to tears!
