Steel Magnolias' was based on a true story🤔
Shelby, the character Julia Roberts plays in the film, is based on Harling's sister, Susan, who died of complications from type 1 diabetes in 1985 !
Thank you. I've been a fan of this movie since 1989. But I never knew this part was based on a true story. I have this movie on DVD at home and I will have to watch it again.
The priest is played by Susan's brother, too. And the nurses that unhooked the machines in the movie were real and were Susan's nurses as well.
@@KB_Grimweaver See, but that is so important. Because when we don't know what really happened we can get swept away by someone's political narrative. I still love this movie.
Sally Field hit me in this scene. Gold.
Harling's mom was on the set for the scene where Shelby is taken off life support, and when Harling asked her why, she said she wanted to see Julia Roberts get up and walk away!
No one could play a grieving mother like Sally Field.
Except for the real thing.
She put me in tears
Well, Shirley MacLaine did a pretty good job too. Terms of Endearment anyone?
@@TheDarthChicoh my goodness yes! I can still barely watch it! There’s a sequel to it: The Evening Star. It’s pretty good but the original omg!
Sally Field deserved an Oscar for this scene alone. Heartbreaking 💔💔💔
Sally Field is my all time favorite actress. She should have gotten her 3rd Oscar for this role.
One of the most powerful scenes ever filmed. So true at every point.
This scene still gets my mother till this day. She’s 68 years old
❤ this scene Sally Fields was so amazing in this scene
“Go ahead M’lynn , slap ha” gets me Every time 🤣
We'll sell Tshirts 😅😅
This scene never fails to pull the emotions forward. Every time I see this I cry and laugh. So phenomenal in the writing to the acting!!
I'm a man and I cried also, even now
Sally Field expressed exactly what everyone feels after we loose someone we love so much
“HIT THIS!!” “HIT HAAAAA!!” 😂😂😂
ARE YOU HIGH, CLARIEE?!
😂🤣😂🤣😂😭
@@km4336Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis are awesome together!
We'll sell Tshirts 😅😅😅
RIP Olympia, you were hilarious!
Sally Field portrayed a grieving mother very well, so well that I will not be able to watch this movie again. Miss my baby boy so much 💔😭. 6 years later still feels like it all happened the other day, it turns you inside out and upside down, you die with them and what's left is a completely different person. But you have to find the things or people that make life good and keep you going.... Even tho them being gone makes life hurt, it also gives you more of an appreciation for it to... Hugs to all who have experienced such a loss. 🫂
So sorry for your loss. Death sucks. ❤❤
@@jcs1025 thank you very much
All great actors here
@@nancydavis4618 absolutely
So sorry for your loss I lost my dear husband too we don't get over we get thru
Sally Field is a great actress
Sally Field is so good in this scene. She plays the grieving mother so well. Superb acting!
When she said, I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life. I felt that but in a different way. I had my daughter 3 months ago and I gave her up for adoption. I know the family that adopted her and we're very close. I felt that in that way. I was there when she was born and I was there when they took her from the hospital. They've been great. They let me hold her all I wanted in the hospital and they gave me an hour alone with her before they took her from the hospital. I just talked to her and I told her that I was always going to be there for her and that I love her and that she was going to have a big family that loves her. I know it's different like I said but I could really relate to that. Before anyone judges me, her father has not been in the picture and he is not a good person and I knew that he was going to do her more harm than good. I know I did the right thing because as I said, she has a big family and most importantly, a mother and father and Big brother who Loved her. I'd say most importantly her father. She deserves a father who loves and validates her and she would not have gotten that from her father if I had kept her. Plus I'm just not in a position to take care of her on my own but they said that I will be allowed to be in her life as much as I want and that they will make sure she knows how much I love her. Wasn't easy but being a good parent means doing what is best for your child even if it hurts you. Sometimes I think that that's going to be the thing that breaks me but I'm not going to let her father doing what he did be the reason that breaks me. I'm not going to give him that satisfaction. I'm just going to be here for her as much as I can and when she turns 18, she will always know that my door is open to her and that I love her. I'm still her first mother and even though I won't be raising her, I love her more than life itself. I could just relate to when she said that in a way.
This and Sybil were testaments to just how good Sally Field really is!
I cry at this scene every time. What tears me up the most is the line where she saids she was there for her first breath and there for her last breath.
I loved this movie when I saw it! Sally Field's acting was so amazing. The different emotions, giving in and coming right back to grieving and being mad and crying. I was younger when I first watched it, but as an adult and losing my older sister, that scene hit so different. Phenomenal ❤
For sure. I went through the same thing with my brother last December. Everything Sally Field was saying is everything I did with my brother in ICU It definitely hits differently and was hard. One of the toughest things I've ever done in my life.
One of the most brilliant scenes in movie history. I was 13 when I saw this and I was bawling. Sslly Field was absolutely incredible. I got chills from this scene. And then to have the break from sorrow to laughter. Brilliant.
T-Shirts "I WHACKED WISER BORDEAUX" golden opportunity for merch.
i lost my mom this january and she loved this movie, she was fiesty like sally field and julia roberts (she was also a scorpio like them) i love her and miss her so much.
I'm so sorry about your loss.
I always cry when I see this scene. A parent losing a child is gut wrenching, I’ve heard the pain of that loss is indescribable and Sally Field portrayed that perfectly here, she’s a fantastic actress.
Perfect writing, direction, and acting. Taking the audience to the deepest despair, and bringing us back from the edge with flawless humor.
It ties the heart of the whole film up...drama, dialog, and humor.
This is one of the greatest scenes of all time and hold every human emotion. You cant help but be moved beyond repair.
The most gut wrenching scene of all time. There’s times that we just need to rant and rave in order for us to feel better. Love how they added a little bit of humor to this scene.
Sally Field should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination for this scene alone. Such a great movie.
No one , and I mean NO ONE plays a mama like Sally Field !
I love movies and I am now 58 and I have never, and I mean ever, seen a movie scene where I was crying my eyes out one second and just like that, laughing uncontrollably! Powerful peace of writing! That scene has stayed with me ever since I first saw it! Even today, it still gets me! ❤❤❤❤
So accurate! This is exactly how it feels when you go through a big loss..
So sad how some people have such short lives. God Bless this man for telling his sister's story.
To be fair, she would probably still be alive if she hadn't insisted on having a baby. That exacerbated her illness and did her in.
@Childfree334 That makes no difference in my feeling sad for her short life. "I would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."
@@bostonbean I was just making a point because of the title in the thumbnail.
@@Childfree334 👍😊
This movie is where I fell in love with sally fields acting. This scene, they way she cried like a mother, it just broke you too. Love her work.
This is one of the very best movies ever and has a great cast too 😊❤
Steel Magnolias used to be my absolute favorite movie of all time, I can't begin to tell you how many times I've watched it to the point that I memorized every line, this film had an excellent cast and script, Sally Fields was truly amazing. But ever since my daughter passed away in 2004 at the age of 23 I have never been able to watch it again it just hits me too hard I just can't 😢😢😭😭💔💔
i am so sorry for your loss 💛
That is so unfortunate. My condolences on your loss, my dear.
I've always loved this movie. I have a sweater with Weezer on it and it says "Are you high Clairee?"
I need one😂💪🏼
The most powerful scene & the most heartbreaking. Steel Magnolias is my favorite movie of all time. My husband doesn’t get why I watch it over & over.
This scene and Shirley MacLaine's scene in Terms of Endearment are the most memorable. Amazing Actresses
I live a block away from the house used in Terms of endearment . Im ashamed to say that It wasn’t till pretty recent that I had watched the film. But steel magnolias was one that I loved since it came out
Oh my goodness, you are exactly correct....Shirley in that scene, my daughter needs pain medicine.....Priceless, also.....
Women are made out of steel. This is one of the best scenes ever
Sally Field - she's never been better than in this scene.
No actor has ever been better
I watched this movie, mostly for the cast. I was hooked from the time it started until it ended. I'll continue watching it until they never play it again
How they me cry my heart out 1 second and make me laugh the very next one
This was the best scene especially at 3.27
This was just the most emotion and best scene of the movie, you could feel her pain and anger so deeply that you couldn't help but sob along with her and then suddenly through all that grief you were laughing so hard!! God I loved and hated this film.
OLYMPIA DUKAKIS WAS SUCH A GREAT ACTRESS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SCENES OF ANY MOVIE
To be honest, Sally Field was like a professor. Olympia Dukakis 1931-2021. The woman was a month and a half short of turning the big 90.
One of the best all time scenes in my entire recollection. It’ll make my eyes tear up and break into a belly laugh in a matter of seconds.
We had to end life support for my brother & it felt as if the world stops. The anger & pain you feel just rips through your soul. And you cease crying & just wail. The wailing comes from deep inside, almost like vomit. It’s agonizing. Sally Field captured it with such accuracy & intensity. An amazing performance.
I don't cry much...probably way less than the average woman. I watch Steel Magnolias whenever I have some alone time and need a release. It never fails me. It's gut-wrenching and the point where she's denying it's happening because she should have died first, that just breaks me.
Sally is an absolute icon...💖💖💖
This is one of the most incredible acting scenes of any movie ever.
This is the reason why Sally Field is one of the greatest actresses of all time
Her finest films 🎥 were Mrs. Doubtfire, Forrest Gump, Punchline,(both with Tom Hanks), Murphy's Romance with James Garner, and Absence of Malice with Paul Newman.
Paul Newman 1925-2008.
James Garner 1928-2014.
Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds is her finest performance too.
Burt Reynolds 1936-2018.
This scene always makes me cry!
She's a good actress i like her Sally Fields
I've seen this wonderful movie so many times that I can quote it word for word!
Acting genius at it's best!!! These womans powerful performance made the movie real.
Anyone who’s lost a loved one early knows the pain sally field portrays. No doubt! However best part of that scene was Shirley asking Olympia if she’s high. Perfect.
It was a power movie it’s the only time I’ve cried my eyes out than laughed so hard at the same time
I hope she won an Oscar or something. 😢😢😢😢❤
I had the opportunity to see this on stage. It was good.
When my Aunt Carniece passed away from Type 1 twelve years ago, I was ANGRY! I questioned God for awhile. How? Why? How could you take the kindest person I'd known? All that suffering for nothing. For her to miss out on the countless births, graduations, first this or thats, and the weddings. But after a long time of being angry with him, I had to remember that God gave her to us and he needed her back home with him. He came to take her away from all of the suffering, the countless procedures, surgeries, insulin shots, and pains that came with her illness. This scene is what I felt for months so I couldn't even imagine the anger Shelby's mother felt.
My mother loves this movie I had to watch it all the time as a kid and now as a grown woman I watch it all the time 🤣 it never gets old ❤ thanks ma 🤣
When I need a good cry❤
I love all you ladies in this movie! ❤ So sad but true. We all need to understand that people go through these things. God bless everyone and everything!
MY FAVORITE MOVIE!!!!!
This is the only scene I remember from the movie. Incredible! Powerful! Oscar worthy performance.
I SO UNDERSTAND. I LOST MY SON ANDREW AND I AM STILL HURTING SINCE 2014 BUT I KNOW MY SON IS ON THE ARMY.OF CHRIST
One of my favorite movies❤
"Shelby was right, this is a brown football helmet. "
Only sally could do that scene justice.. wow
Best movie EVER
When she told her to take a walk at her, I was in tears.😅 laughing
Everytime my Mom would watch this part she would cry and laugh her ass of at the same time
And I am crying but end up laughing
This scene is brilliant
I love this movie so so much
She is the best part of this film
One of the only scenes in film history that can make u sob uncontrollably, only to make u laugh hysterically 10 seconds later!
I guess I need to see this movie!
I can't wait to see this on the big screen for its 35th Anniversary.
I bought my mom a tshirt that says "I slapped Ouiser Boudreaux" 😂
Where did you get the shirt? Sadly the young ones (and I suspect many men) would miss the joke.
Great scene very powerful. Sally was fantastic. I love Shirley as ouiser "You are a pig from hell!" "Get off my bench!:
No one does distraught better than Sally. No one.
Liked Daryl Hannah lines in this scene
M'Lynn: I want to know why Shelby's life is over!
Me: Shelby had no choice, M'Lynn!
“Are you high, Clairee?!”
People don’t realize, Death is impossible to understand right now. We don’t know anything about it and tht terrifies us because all we want in the end, is to be with our loved ones again. That’s the only thing humans ask for in death.
I wish my advocate for me as Shelby’s mom did for her.
Whaaaay whhhhhhyyyy!!!!!
Ouiser Boudreaux!
Take a whack a’Ouiser!
Hit Wheeeza, Priceless......if any movie scene can make me laugh......it's this......
Not me sobbing
"I find it amusing
men are supposed to be made out of steel or something"
Typically physical strength for men, emotional strength for women...with exceptions for both.
“I wanna hit something!”
“Here, hit this!”
The absolute tonal whiplash of that moment.
I never asked why my daughter was suffering and dying for 5 years. There is no answer in this lifetime. God needs to answer to me, not the other way around. If you think that's blasphemy, say it to my face and I'll send you to Jesus for the answer.
Im sorry for your loss ❤
I wonder how the actual characters are doing?
The pig husband remarried 3 months after her death
I want that "I slapped Weezer" T-shirt!!! 😂😂😂
ARE YOU HIGH!!!
Wonder if my mom cares this much about me
Of course
Shelby's life is over because she selfishly chose her wants above everyone else - including her child.
@@Laok252 Even Dolly was overplaying Dolly!
Hahaha 😂
She definitely should’ve won something for This movie
Shelby’s life is over because she was too self-absorbed to care how her family would feel about endangering her own life.
I've always wondered if others felt this way, I timidly admit that I kinda agree, because of the huge risks that she was always aware of but dismissed them... Shelby took a very dangerous path health wise to have that baby, and the result was tragic, it cost her life, left a bereft hubby and baby who needed her, and forever left grief for her family. Yes, it's an extraordinary bittersweet story and ultimately it was her choice, but there is always a very fine line between the "I can have it all" philosophy that I think came in part from Shelby being oversheltered as a kid, and "I'll keep my health and be a foster mom or an auntie and I'll probably be still walking around 50 yrs from now." I know if I was type I diabetic I would not have put my health at further risk. But that's me. Shelby had both this terrible disease and a crazy naiveness and innocence about it and life in general and ultimately, it doomed her.
I'm sorry I don't agree, not as a mother or as a daughter. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breaths away.
People can't live their lives for other people, it's their life and they have to live it for themselves.
Robert Harling was inspired to write this from his sister's life but it's not an exact blow by blow of it.
I seen a talk he did were he said his sister went into the hospital for a simple procedure to have the stint in her arm adjusted and never woke up. 😥
That could have happened even if she hadn't had a baby, or any number of things could have happened like they do to other people all around the world. Car accidents, crimes, ect..
My point is, she knew what would make her life complete and she had every right to go after it.
There's no guarantee that Robert's sister Susan would have lived even if she hadn't had the baby, but because she did choose to have one, a piece of her was left behind to comfort her family after she was called home. And there is a man out there somewhere who knows he was wanted and cherished so very much by his mother. That's a very precious gift that many people don't get even when their mother continues to live.
Yes the best case scenario would have been for her to survive to raise the baby, but life has a tendency to side swipe people.
This scene is a replica of the intense pain of new grief. Though you never get over a loss, if you allow yourself to accept and heal, this intense pain fades and is filled by gratitude of having them in your life and the memories they left behind.
I'm sure Robert Harling's family doesn't regret the child's birth, they just regret Susan's death and wish she was still here.
Or selfless to what her needs were and wanted to make a family for her husband because she thought that was something she should do as his wife. Unfortunately because of the frailty of her body she couldn't do all the things she wanted to do and birth in that one child was the last thing she could do.
She felt pressure from her husband, no doubt. This was hinted at a couple of times in the story. He seemed like an immature jerk.
@@vivianpowell1732He didnt force her, immature jerk or not . The final decision was Shelby's, regardless of the cost to her life which she KNEW.
I love it 🥰 when Annelle told Weisser told her off , Not On Your Visit. Jennydebrier
