The Runaway Bunny...

Few scenes in movie history have the emotional impact on me that the scene in which Bearing's mentor reads The Runaway Bunny to her has. I've seen Wit three times and each time, I can't stop crying once she starts reading the story. There's just something so incredibly sad about having this dying intellectual in the most horrible pains listening to such a sweet, simple children's story. Anyone else who was profoundly moved by this particular scene?

Earlier in the film, she flashes back to a scene when she was a little girl reading The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies with her Dad. She came upon the word "soporific" and asks her Dad (her first mentor by the look of it) what it means. He explains and asks her what makes her sleepy. She says "nothing does".

Flash forward to this scene with another bunny story and a mentor. She is now asleep.

So sad.
