I cry during the train station argument- He loves her so dearly, and when he says " I live with the thought of your extinction everyday, (or something to that fact),I simply well up into a heaping,weeping mess. You can witness how intensely he loves her, and wants only for her to be happy. When Richard's mother explains her reason for abandoning her loving family, I can see the pain,but acceptance that NOONE will ever forgive her,.....Weeping,heaped mess once again.
My eyes also get misty at the beginning of the movie, as Virginia's husband urges her to eat. The camera closes in on his face, and his tender beautiful brown eyes show his vulnerablity , and his subtle need to make her happy, and when he means to utter another remark, but it gets lost in his throat, I since his assurance. The scene were little richie can sense that something is wrong with mommy, and says I love you,...Weeping,heaped mess all over again. And ofcourse, the end scene when victoria is in the river, the voice over is so haunting, and you realize that this character is about to make a mistake that can NOT be undone,..i think I cried for three days , when ever I thought of the scene ( im misting right as I write these comments). Also I get emotional when Meryl Streep's character kisses the AIDS ridden adult richard on the mouth to assure him of her undying love and dedication. This small scene REALLY hit home for me, as during that time many people were not sure how AIDS was passed on to different people, and I know families that refuse to be in the same room with there love-ones that were suffering from this illness, and she kissed him,...........a symbolic scene of her tremendous love. ( im crying now, as some of you have suspected,..lol) All and all a beautiful haunting movie that has had me to appreciate each and every minute in MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
omg,...im such a crybaby,..lol
