What I love is opening credits.
The marble rolls and hits the other marble.
"Bing"
Alford and Badham's credits appear, Bernstein's music swells and the tears start to flow.
I know, it's probably one of the best opening credit sequences of all time. And you only understand the significance of the box and its contents later on in the movie.
Also, while the symbolism might be a bit "obvious" to some, I love how the child draws a bird and then tears the drawing in half almost playfully. You get the feeling that she has witnessed something ugly that no child should have to witness, and that it will stay with her forever.
