Good I hope mom keeps those feelings she deserves them. Narcissistic moms need to learn

as someone from sacramento who goes to college across the country this scene hits so hard

If's she's smart, she WON'T come back.

feels monumental to watch this and cry to it in my dorm room during my first year of college - 4 weeks in. first time I watched it was with my friends in high school and now i’m here…

she can win an Oscar based on this ending alone

When this movie came out I had a visceral reaction because I so clearly saw myself in this film. So fucking beautiful.

1:02 Im pretty sure that the guys who likes to draw beavers in "its kind of a funny story" th-cam.com/video/0dSk92CbuFE/w-d-xo.html

i watched this film years ago. probably close to 5 or 6 years ago. and i hated it. i hated the mom, who reminded me so much of my own, harshly criticizing while trying to live vicariously through me, frustrated with my shortcomings, and i hated the ending where christine apologizes to her mom. and now i’m 30, and i’m crying watching this because instead of seeing christine as finally admitting defeat or letting her mom “win”, i’m crying because i see our relationship. messy, confusing, hard, complex. i see all of the love on both sides, where the frustration and inherited trauma come from, and i’m crying watching a girl apologize because sometimes love is not fighting to be right/heard. sometimes love is acknowledging that someone you care about is complicated, and sometimes your relationship will always be messy, but you care enough to let the little things go. 😢

You should

Why didn’t she just hug her child goodbye ?

Great montage.

Lady bird is a white version of real women have curves.

I cried a lot watching this. When I went to college I could only remember my mom and my sister and I cried all day long when I arrived to the state where I was going to study. I find this scene very relatable...

Ok, I’m not saying this movie is bad mom propaganda, but now I get why my bad mom wanted me to watch this movie.

I wish my mom loved me more it feels like she just tolerates me

How did she not win the oscar for this role?

I lived in sac for 2 years after undergrad. Recently moved to socal and watching this movie made me realize how impactful sac was to my adulthood. Although I didn’t have a pleasant time in sac, I now realize that it helped me develop certain characteristics that I exercise on the daily. This weekend I am in NY for the first time and I’m making time to visit the church lady bird went to. Idk why but I feel it’s right to just step into it

Why do I cry every time

This is what you get for being a childish bitch. You ruined a meaningful moment for both you and your daughter.

will never forget the feeling of watching this part in the movie. i think as you watch you kind of learn to hate sacramento as much as ladybird but in the end it almost feels like you have the same realization as she did. the parallels between her mom and her driving through the streets of sacramento and ladybird finally accepting her name had me sobbing. this movie really encapsulates the change from adolescence to adulthood

Enjoying the church choir shows how powerful her mom's influence has been.

anteontem foi meu primeiro dia da faculdade e minha mãe também não me levou nem se despediu muito bem. essa cena veio na minha cabeça

Liked this film, and totally get it, is a coming of age, about solving your issues and taking big decisions, something we all can understand and identified with; BUT, gotta say didn't care for this ending, semmed rush, a final actual conversation between Lady Bird, and her mom (even on the phone), would have been better in my opinion

This story really hits me personally,. Maybe not this scene in particular, but overall I relate so much of this story that it really makes me cry how much I see myself in ladybird.

…k

Talk about reaping what you sowed jeez :/

The song is Phil Castillo-For Katelyn for anyone wondering.

I cried.

Dad's just the neutralizer of everything. The foundation, stronghold, and the rock when everyone gets too emotional

3:17 that transition kills me

I relate to Christine, not only her name but what she wanted, she wanted an illusion of what she thought was good for her, what she thought was rich and admirable, she was reaching for the unreachable because that's wasn't her story to tell. Christine hated her name just like how I hated my name "Christina" for the longest time, I hated the way it sounded, I wanted to be different, I wanted better and bigger things, I wanted to live a life that wasn't even mine, I was reaching for the things that I most desired but couldn't get, I was immature about wanting instead of realizing what I truly needed. I was In the 10th grade or so when I watched this movie so around 15 Im now freshly 19, in college, in a state far from Texas, lost, confused, trying to figure out who I am, and I felt the exact same way I did when Christine arrived at NY, it's all so surreal figuring out how when I first watched this movie I didn't get it, but now I do, I get it so much, I lied to so many of the people in my life because I wanted this dream, this "American dream" but I will never have it unless I grow up and get myself out of that mindset, why have what others have when I can make my own dream realities. It's such an amazing movie truly, this movie (rewatching it again) has made me realize how much of a bitch I was not just to friends and people I've met, but family.

Sacramento airport; I’m amazed she found her way back to the terminal…IYKYK

Realistic but unsatisfying ending, her mother was emotionally tumultuous yet it's her daughter who has to reach out...

Before you leave home, your identity is always off somewhere else, then when you grow up and go someplace else...your identity is at home.

I absolutely love this movie

She forgives her mother why?

When things are so F**ked the only thing you can do is pray

ow God another horrendous bore one has to endure...

To put Laurie Metcalfe & Saoirse Ronan as mother daughter will always be the best choice this movie ever made 👍😊

Everytime I come back to watch this scene I always cry uncontrollably, well there it goes again 😭

That was NOT a church choir. No church choir sounds that good.

didnt notice you can hear her mom speaking faintly while they are both driving … until today. does anyone know what she’s saying? im guessing it’s something from her letters.

As someone who started in a small town and then moving to a big city, this scene hits so hard. I adore the this scene.

I know Im late to the party, but I believe to have seen the true deep meaning of the ending: Overly controlling parents alienate their children, what actually matters is true compassion, acceptance and love. The mother is clearly severely narcissistic, more concerned with the appearance of the family than with the feelings of her child. This leads to all kinds of problems, because the "problematic behaviours", otherwise known as a personality, that the child develops, are met with contempt and ridicule. Lady Bird finding the strength to thank her mom even after all the misguided controlling abuse and love withdrawal she experienced, this shows that she understood the deep meaning of life, to which the church points her (i do think the church lost their way over a thousand years ago, but a core part of their message is still very relevant today) where hanging on to shame and resentment over received mistreatment is a burden you always carry around with you unless it is accepted. All forms of interaction between people, even ones you would consider immoral, originally come from a lack of love and a deep desire to receive it, the main transmitter of which being, as far as we know, serotonin. A person who was never exposed to true acceptance and love does not produce enough serotonin, they turn to all kinds of behaviours to correct that imbalance. This means the cycle is broken and one more soul is saved, and a singular person who understands the power of true love and compassion regardless of appearance, misdeeds, perceived lack of character, etc. If more people saw the light there would be a whole lot less problems in the world, I just adored the scenes with the big girl, i forgot her name...

yall i cannot express how sad this music and this scene is for me. i literally cannot stop crying because of how the beauty of Christine's relationship with her mother is portrayed in this movie

My city. 🥹

Laurie Metcalf moved me to tears.

This scene is an automatic cry for me. Every time.

im literally howling sobbing at this still 5 years later
