Saddest parts in movies (SPOILERS AHEAD)
I hate to ruin any movies for you, but I thought of posting what moved me in the following movies:

I HEART HUCKABEE'S - Jason Schwartzman's character has a mysterious cat story throughout the beginning of the movie. It seems like it may be a cheesy story.

But as it turns out, his cat died when he was nine years old. His mother didn't deal with him well when it happened and made him ashamed for getting upset over his cat. This really made me sad, because his mother wasn't there for him when he needed her most. One interesting thing about the casting is that the woman who plays his mother is actually his mother in real life.



12 ANGRY MEN - At the end of the movie, Lee J. Cobb, the hardened juror is the final one who's holding out. He wants to convict. I think Henry Fonda asks him to think of the person on trial as his son and if he'd convict him. Lee J. Cobb gets mad and rips out a picture of his son from his wallet and tears in to shreds, saying he doesn't care about his son. But he starts crying, because obviously, he does care. And he's so hardened, but he's estranged from his son and what Henry Fonda said struck a chord. And he is not going to convict the person on trial now.



REBEL WITH A CAUSE - I was pretty close to my dad. But Natalie Wood apparently crosses the line when she hugs her Dad. All she wants is some normal affection. And the Dad slaps her across the room.

Even though I loved my Dad and I'm sure he loved me, this scene in the movie really upset me. I remember one time I was about fourteen and I was just holding on to his arm. And he said it was too hot outside and I should just let go. But I held on anyway. And then he yelled at me again and said, "I said it was hot outside, let go!"



ONE TRUE THING - This is one of the few movies where I've cried throughout the whole thing. The movie is kind of depressing. Girl finally gets a great job and then discovers her mom is dying of cancer. Dad, William Hurt, tells her to come home and take care of the mother she was never close to. So she leaves her job, her boyfriend, and takes care of the mother that she can't stand out of guilt.

On top of that, she is questioned for murdering her, once her mother is found dead because of an overdose of her medication. Of course the daughter, played by Renee Zellweger, has thought of killing her mother, because she resents her so much. But of course, she would never ever do a thing like that.

The father says to her face, "I can't believe you had the guts to kill her." I didn't read the book, so I'm not sure who actually killed her. But I got the feeling it was the father. And here he is, accusing his daughter of killing her. When she is the one who took care of her, because he made her feel guilty enough.
