Man the influence of the world and feeling like you don't belong can have a very strong impact as a child. I'm pretty dark skinned, I remember being a kid and being reminded of it all the time. And it sucked to not be able to do anything about it. I don't see myself ever treating my mom (the queen) like this. But I can also see where a kid growing up in these times could want nothing more than to belong to the rest of the world, instead of just to her mother. Especially when she can essentially "take her skin off" and be white. This movie breaks my heart every single time i watch it. I'm so grateful these aren't times i had to grow up in, or raise a black child in more than anything.
I hope they NEVER remake this for a third time. The 1959 rendition is breathtaking while at the same time, heartbreaking. this movie will always remind me of just how brutal society is, and to always love my heritage.
I hope they do remake it, if only to tell the story of the mother, as we don't know much about her and where her daughter's dad is. Maybe do something different to the storyline for this generation.
I think a new version for this century would be really Idea but it should only be great actresses and actors who play the role . In my eyes racism is worse and on top of that it's far more scary evilness that is happening every where ....
Well it's been reported that beyoncé and Zendaya are in talks to remake this movie and I think it'll be a good thing because the world needs this right now in a movie
I introduced this movie to my kids some time ago and my youngest son was so upset at the end when Sara Jane came running up to the funeral crying for her mother. He said, "Oh now you want your mama, after giving her so much grief. It's too late."

Being a mixed young man and seeing this scene opened my eyes to the surreal. The idea of having to choose between two worlds in that day and age due to racial prejudice. Having to say goodbye to someone whom you clearly love.
No dont hate her feel sorry for her because hate is the most evil and will only hurt you . I know because I use to hate someone and I almost ended up in a mental hospital
@@peggywelty5139 Hating someone who wronged you doesn’t compare. I would never feel sorry for someone’s ignorance. And if a person deserves to be hated I wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep!
well sweetie im dark had my daughter whos called sarah too to a white man and she treats me terrible swears at me curses me she embarrasses me with her outbursts she loves her daddy who walked out on us when she was in nappies shes 37 today the only good thing that she gave me was the grandkids they love me so i guess something goods come out of it this is a great great movie very underated too but thank God in this day age generation everyones moved on from it
She ought to be ashamed of herself....and when her mother died she had the nerve to come running it was entirely TOO LATE. It's a shame to die from a broken heart..
saddest scene among many, for a woman to have to beg her own daughter to let her love her like a mother,sad that she held shame toward her own mother's race. love is not a color.
She didnt feel shame of her mother, society made her feel that being white was better than admitting to being black! Watch the entire movie, its alot deeper than that. She had also been raised in a white home, as her mother was the housekeeper. But she had been treated the same as rhe homeowners daughter. She had been beaten up by a boy when he found out she was black, so she chose to never let anyone know she is black again. Thats why it led to this scene.
@@patricestewart8963 Exactly. Thanks for putting this in context. Plus all over the world. Skin bleaching and tanning is a billion dollar business.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but nowadays if an adult child estranges themselves from their mother, the mother is assumed to have been abusive, whether or not she was. So in many ways it’s worse. The mother gets rejected by her daughter AND then gets victim blamed bysociety.
@@patricestewart8963 I understand. I’m a biracial woman and I’ve seen the 1959, this, version of the movie about three times and I’ve seen the 1934 version once. It still fills me with absolute rage.

believe it or not, there are ALOT young people today who treat their mothers like Sarah Jane treated her mother. The way she treated her mother was disrespectful and wrong and in the end she didn't get a chance to say good-bye to her mother, the woman who loved her and protected her when she couldn't protect herself. all because she wanted to be something she couldn't be. by being selfish it cost her not to be able to tell her mother goodbye. Sad
Racism and prejudiced and discrimination are all cousins of each other... I go through something similar with my last child my boy.. I am overweight and he treats me pretty badly my boy is 16 I do everything for him I am there for him 100% with whatever he needs.. never never would have thought one of my own flesh and blood would treat me this way very painful and heartbreaking.. I have a medical condition that majorly contributes to me being overweight I have been on steroids since I was 22 years old from the doctor without it I could die.. so this movie gets me tares my heart up.
Yeah my wife is one of them people. My wife had a hard life so she tired to give our kids what she didn’t get. I tell my daughter when ur mom passes away she will regret how she treated her mom.
A reporter, where I live, was writing a fictional book about a family owned bridal salon in the suburbs and the owner, who inherited the business from her parents, said what she notices the most about the salon today is the nasty disrespectful attitudes of the young brides towards their mothers! She said when she was young and working at the store the daughters were very respectful to their mothers but now she says it's hard to listen to what goes on in the fitting rooms! She said it got worse every decade from the 70's to today! Shame!
I've been watching this movie off and on since I was four years old and this movie still makes me cry like a baby. I couldn't stand Sarah Jane then and I can't stand her now. Her mother was a precious treasure.
Cj you are absolutely GORGEOUS and I love your beautiful locs. This movie woke me up to self hatred at a young age. A lot of sistas hate Sara Jane but have blonde weave stitched in their hair while watching this... Thank you so much for loving your natural hair. Would wife you if I could!
I watched this movie with my grandmother when I was about 9 years old. It's the first conversation I had with someone about race and about injustice and pain. I'm 31 now and still remember every scene from the movie and how much it affected me. Im glad I had this moment with my grandmother and made me miss her remembering of this movie.
This scene gets me every time. Not just because of the fine acting, music and direction, but the underlining meaning. We understand the feelings of both characters. It's a heartbreak beyond a thousand tears.
A female friend introduced me to this movie a few days ago, never heard of it before and I'm 41. This movie should be played at least once a week on regular TV in the UK. Made me cry and feel ashamed for the distant relationship I have with my own mother 😢 I must do better and I will do better Mum
I agree, my mother and I haven't talked in 4 years, we both have our issues, not gonna say it's one sided but we both so much alike neither of us wanna give in but this movie made me change my thoughts
Sarah Jane was weak. I get y she would want to just pass herself off as white in those days but to deny your mother? I couldn't live with myself. Y'all saw her at the funeral. U would have to live with that for the rest of your life.
There was an actress named Merle Oberon who did just that. In order to maintain a place amidst the pantheon of white Hollywood luminaries she passed her own mother off as her maid!
But she didn't refuse to speak to her mother! She loved her mother and her mother loved her! They agreed to the charade together! Her mother was indian and she was half indian both from India!
@@cindychristian1700 Yes, I saw the tv mini series Queenie. Which was loosely based upon her life. Her mother was invested in getting her out of Calcutta and pushing her to lead a dignified life as an Anglo woman. Carole Channing was also part black but only admitted this, just a few months before she passed away. It was such a different world back then. Especially in the racially restricted era of Jim Crow. Which convinced many that having Black blood or dark skin was considered a detriment to own's survival. There were a number of entertainers who were "passing" back then. Including a b-list actress named Dona Drake. Who later married fashion designer, William Travilla. She too possessed very Anglo-looking features but never disclosed her biracial background. At the height of her career in the 1940's and 50's.
So how does it hit home exactly ? Was you ashamed of your black mother as well or do you feel that all mixed raced ppl feel the way she felt in this movie
This movie but in particular this scene broke my heart 💔 Why is being black so frowned upon, so demonized, so unworthy and so embarrassing to other races of people? The ignorance angers me and breaks my heart at the same time. Yet we're one of the most imitated and studied people. I wish colorism and racism would end, we're all human beings first.
The love of a mother. Love is patient kind, does not envy, does not boast, not rude, not self seeking, keeps no record of wrong, does nor delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth, always hopes, always perserveres, Love Never Fails.

The actress needs to be white. She’s playing basically a white character who is a “genetic freak. We never see the father in any of these so-called passing films....
@@superamanda The actress said even though she got an oscar nomination the role ruined her career! She was typecast in mixed roles or exotic roles! I saw her in an old western playing a native american but hollywood was reluctant to cast her as what she actually was, a white actress! She eventually left the industry!
Grrrl. I hear you, but Im a Black child of Coco complextion and my mother is a Mocha and my Dad passes, and this show makes me boo hoo like no other. I LOVE IT. Its about betrail and a mothers love and so many Black Vertures. You know how we do. Kinda like Sicily Tyson in The women of Bruster Place. "Black isn't beautiful, it isn't ugly, it isn't straight hair nor kinky hair. Black is just Black." That show is the SH---
I watch this film because Juanita Moore gives such a lovely performance. I know Lana Turner was the “movie star”, but I always felt she overacts in this film. Juanita Moore deserved an Oscar.
I was working night shift in the hospital back in 1992 and the census had been low for weeks, so another nurse brought this movie and we all watched it. I had no idea what it would be about. At the end of the movie, we were all blubbering like babies!
I could never speak to my mom this way. No Matt how much we've fought. And I thought she was THE DRAGON LADY as I called her to my friends. We only get one in life. And we need to treasure them always.
THIS MOVIE SHOWS HOW RACISM EFFECTS YOUR LIFE AND YOU CAN GO AGAINST THOSE WHO LOVBE YOU BECAUSE THEIR SKIN COLOR IS UNACCEPTABLE, THIS IS SAD BECAUSE IT STILL HAPPENS
A lot of mixed children should see this Movie, an thinking about their other half, an love their black side, an take pride in it. I know some people that are mixed an prejudice to their other side. My family is mixed an I love all races. This movie always makes me emotional bc the daughter truly didnt realize what her Mama was saying until her death that part is a tear jerker.
I have a terrible relationship with my mother because she treated her husband children better than she treated me because I was not conceive out of love but this story is different; she has a loving, kind mother who treats her well and there is no reason to hating her mother but skin colour. This story makes me cry.
Whoooo…makes me steam on the inside..I couldn’t imagine treating anyone that way!!! She deserved every bit of shame and guilt she carried after her mom passed!!! So sad
I'm into the magic of cinema now , the 35mm 70mm frame, the cinema class cinematography the tracking of the camera of the actors within the frame the beautiful things placed in the scene the actors harmonizing with what the camera's" going for" - I'm some what appreciating it all
No matter how many times I see this movie I cry like a baby.
I’ve cried buckets of tears over the years about this film
Every time for me as well, especially when she is running after the carriage screaming
" mama, mama"
Me too
@Win no I haven't gonna check it out
Same! Not all, of us, were blessed with a good mother like Annie.
She's trying to tell her that she is dying.
Yea she was
😭
I wonder if she was dying of Takotsubos cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome?
This chic was as cold as ice. No amount of money would ever make me treat my mother like this

This is beautiful acting. It hits home as I'm a mixed-race woman with a black mother. I shed a tear when I first watched this.
So how does it hit home exactly ? Was you ashamed of your black mother as well or do you feel that all mixed raced ppl feel the way she felt in this movie

Sarah Jane was a child of two black parents...but go off, I guess.
One of the best movies. I cry every time. "Goodbye momma" Chills!
I came here from a brief scene in 8 Mile where the mother is watching this on the TV. This looks like it really is worth a watch.

Its about betrail and a mothers love and so many Black Vertures. You know how we do. Kinda like Sicily Tyson in The women of Bruster Place. "Black isn't beautiful, it isn't ugly, it isn't straight hair nor kinky hair. Black is just Black." That show is the SH---
This has got to be the saddest movie of all time I cry every time I see this
how cud u act that towards a woman that loves u more than her own life?..smh
Sad scene brilliant acting great movie 😞💔😫
This movie is a real tear jerker.
The true person who’s suffering is the daughter she lives a sad life as a whole the mother always loved herself something the daughter never felt
This scene and the ending are the saddest.
I watch this film because Juanita Moore gives such a lovely performance. I know Lana Turner was the “movie star”, but I always felt she overacts in this film. Juanita Moore deserved an Oscar.
This was one of my mom's favorite movies. I grew up on it.
The way Sarah Jane says "goodbye", then turns to Annie and, under her breath, whispers "mama" before breaking down in tears... i just can't
I was working night shift in the hospital back in 1992 and the census had been low for weeks, so another nurse brought this movie and we all watched it. I had no idea what it would be about. At the end of the movie, we were all blubbering like babies!
My mom had us watched this movie together.. Mothers of any color love their daughters.. eeee this catches in my throat so much.
I could never speak to my mom this way. No Matt how much we've fought. And I thought she was THE DRAGON LADY as I called her to my friends. We only get one in life. And we need to treasure them always.
Aint nothing like a mothers love
Annie died of a broken heart. This was so sad.
The cancer helped too I would think
My mom and gpa saw this in the movies. Was told they both cried like babies. The 34 version broke me. These movies are amazing👏🏽👏🏽
Beautiful movie ,cried soo much ,my mum had just died 😢😢😢😢
Sometimes I randomly put these scenes on just to feel something prolific for the day. I've never not cried watching this.
Happy Mother’s Day to all those amazing moms out there🖤🫶🏼
This was such a sad movie.
This film looks fantastic
THIS MOVIE SHOWS HOW RACISM EFFECTS YOUR LIFE AND YOU CAN GO AGAINST THOSE WHO LOVBE YOU BECAUSE THEIR SKIN COLOR IS UNACCEPTABLE, THIS IS SAD BECAUSE IT STILL HAPPENS
Omg I remember watching this at 7 and just sobbing! Ugh it just hurts😢!
A lot of mixed children should see this Movie, an thinking about their other half, an love their black side, an take pride in it. I know some people that are mixed an prejudice to their other side. My family is mixed an I love all races. This movie always makes me emotional bc the daughter truly didnt realize what her Mama was saying until her death that part is a tear jerker.
This is my favorite movie. It’s so emotional and that scene where the mom begs to sit down and the girl says no gets me every time.
You had a mammy.... all of my life......😢😢😢😢😢
Always makes me 😢
I’m weeping, this is so heartbreaking.
I have a terrible relationship with my mother because she treated her husband children better than she treated me because I was not conceive out of love but this story is different; she has a loving, kind mother who treats her well and there is no reason to hating her mother but skin colour. This story makes me cry.
Whoooo…makes me steam on the inside..I couldn’t imagine treating anyone that way!!!
She deserved every bit of shame and guilt she carried after her mom passed!!! So sad
I'm into the magic of cinema now , the 35mm 70mm frame, the cinema class cinematography the tracking of the camera of the actors within the frame the beautiful things placed in the scene the actors harmonizing with what the camera's" going for" - I'm some what appreciating it all
This makes me cry every time I see it.
I always wanted Annie to be my mom
This movie is so heartbreaking. It hurts to watch.
I saw this movie, a long time ago... 😢❤ I am 58, I think was in my teens.
I Got tears in my eyes
Such powerful acting.
Freddie Mercury Loved this movie. It was told in his biography written by Peter Freestone
I’ve never even seen this movie and this scene has me crying…
Love this movie since I was a child!!!!!!
A very good and sad movie about a young lady that hated herself.
This movie pisst me off I couldn’t imagine treating my mama like this
