Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
That damn Sally Field!!! She deserves every accolade. Sally has to be on the actress Mount Rushmore. Her graveyard monologue gets me every time 😭😭😭😭😭🤧
That scene!!! OMG!!! APPLAUSE
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. Sally's a really powerful actor. She has such a calm and authoritative presence throughout the entire film, but in that moment she let it all go and it felt like she was reaching through the screen and making you feel her anguish. Every time I see it I feel an adrenaline rush, it's like being frightened or exhilarated. I felt a similar response in The Two Towers when Theoden mourned over the grave of his son: "No parent should have to bury their child."
It’s such a powerful moment. Shirley McLain has a similar moment in Terms of Endearment when she’s trying to get the nurses in the hospital to give her daughter her pain medicine. Her frustration seems to come off the screen and choke you.
Yes. Also that walk down the aisle in the hospital. She nailed the mother nervous mamma bear walk.
@@jefferoni1984 OMG!!! I love that scene. I've watched it many times and each time ... chills.
Girl we all cried when Shelby died.
The preacher at the funeral was Shelby's real-life brother. He wrote the play to tell the story about his sister. And then they made the film so he got a role in the movie.
The real 'Shelby', Playwriter/director Robert Harling's sister, died while in surgery. She went in and never came back out. Their mother wanted the death scene to play out this way so she could see Julia Roberts get up out of the bed after the shoot.
Also the nurses and doctor in the movie were there when Susan died
This was such a phenomenal movie... it's a shame that it didn't get more recognition or awards back when it was released. The only person nominated for an Oscar was Julia Roberts - and she lost. Sally Field should have been nominated and probably would have won for her performance.
Sally was PERFECT - they all were
WRONG! Olympia Dukakis won Best Supporting Actress for her role.
@@indiecab9593
That was for Moonstruck with Cher and Nicholas Cage.
@@indiecab9593 Actually You are Wrong. Olympia Dukakis won for Moonstruck made in 1988 as supporting Actress . 1989 was won by Brenda Fricker as supporting Actress in My Left Foot the same year Steel Magnolias was released. Before you tell someone in all capital letters they are wrong ...do your research and learn some manners.
Remembering her speech during her Moonstruck win ending with her raising her oscar and shouting "OK MICHAEL! LET'S GO!!!!" Next to Jamie Lee Curtis, Best. Speech. Ever!
The real "Jackson" remarried six months after she passed away and it was the baby calling the step mom mama that inspired "Shelby's" brother to write the play that became this movie.
Omg that am sorry is shocking that he remarried so quickly after her death has made me really hate him. Shelby seemed to point out that they were having a baby to make their marriage last and make him happy hence her mothers reactiion .when she was telling her mother about the baby If as a mother & family of " shelby" would truly find that act unforgivable cause 6 months to me makes me think he was playing outside of their marriage. After literally sacrificing herself to make him happy by giving him a child that's really shocked me. I would be really angry with him and her ( the obvious mistress) sorry but that's what it seems to say to me. I can't believe he did that to her as it shows no respect whatsoever to her or her memory. What a vile man. In my eyes he is. I never knew that part and am glad they left it out of the movie & play then to have her son call his new wife mama is even worse.
I know her brother played the vicar/priest during tge wedding and funeral. How heartbreaking that her husband remarried 5 months after her death
. What a vile man. 😢😢 I am truly shocked that he did that to her.
@@micheletrainor1601 My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer less than a year after our son was born. Thankfully, she didn't go into a coma before dying, but she did go through many rounds of chemo. Her cancer metastasized to her bones and brain, and she died a month after our son's 5th birthday. She died in my arms, at home under hospice care.
I got remarried less than a year later, to a women I barely knew while I was married. She was a single parent also. My son was coming up on 6, and her son was 3.
I'm sure some folks judged me for getting remarried that quickly. But I wanted a mother for my son, and hers needed a father.
Today, they are both college graduates, , both married, and I have 5 grandchildren.
I have no regrets, but I still miss my soulmate, who died a month before my 27th birthday.
OMGGGGG - DID YOU SAY SIX MONTHS? I DONT BELIEVE IT! OH MY GOD!!
@MrVvulf I once heard that if a man was happily married and loses his wife that he marries soon after. If a woman is happily married and loses her husband she marries after a longer time, if ever. I’m sorry for the loss of your wife and glad that you found happiness again.
In Louisiana, we're not being mean to each other. We just joke and give people a hard time if we like them. We don't talk to strangers that way lol
That’s basically how men bond with each other.
MY LADIES 💙💛💚❤️🤍🧡
All 6 of them gave great performances in this BEAUTIFUL film! *An all time favorite.*
Great performance
When my Mom passed at an all too early age, the only person I felt more sorry for than myself was my Grandmother😔 It is simply not the natural order of things… at least as we perceive them😢
The graveside scene shreds me every time.
Never wasted time watching a flick w you; Appreciate you so very much.
Stay safe & love big💖
You are too kind, much love.
Amazing cast! So emotionally draining, but my goodness what a performance by sally field at the graveside! She literally takes our hearts and emotions to another level! You can also see the other actors in the scene with her are just blown away by her incredible performance!
Everyone of them
OMG can't wait. I grew up watching this movie with my mother. She passed when I was 20. I ugly cry every time I watch it now.
Thank you for watching love
One of the most talented cast EVER and beautiful story written by Shelbys Brother ❤
Sally and Dolly are brilliant here. I felt all the emotions from start to finish. Incredible movie. Very moving.
They're not fighting. They're all old dear friends and that's just how they interact with each other. It's an American thing. You say the worst things to your friends. And these Southern ladies would never say such things to strangers or people they didn't like. The zingers were the best part of this movie. Although, it must be said, the ability to deliver the nastiest cut-downs in a sweet tone is a Southern lady specialty. After all, if a Southern lady says bless your heart, she might be saying you're not too bright. Or she might be saying you gave it a good try, but it wasn't good enough, or something similar.
A few Steel Magnolias facts...
***The preacher who marries Shelby and Jackson is Robert Harling the playwrite who based Steel Magnolias on his Mother, her friends and his late sister Susan.
***Darryl Hannah was originally cast as Shelby but preffered the role of Annelle thinking it more a challege for her. Giving Julia a chance to get an Oscar nom.
***Sally Field used method acting in the graveyard scene. Substituting her sons name instead of "Shelby" in rehearsal to work herself up emotionally.
***The late great Bette Davis was very vocal about wanting the role of Ouiser. (I almost wish it had happened but she would have wiped everyone else off the screen!)
***The director told Dolly Parton she looked like she didn't know what she was doing...she told him that she didn't... but he hired her so it was his job to make her look like she knew what she was doing.(Pure Dolly sass!)
***Olympia Dukakis was panned critically in Boston for being too much of a New Englander for such a southern story. (I remember reading this review with disagreement)
***They tried a Steel Magnolias TV series with Cindy Williams as M'Lynn it didn't fly...but you can find the pilot out here!
I love Steel Magnolias I've directed the stage play 4 times I am always touched by it. Thanks for this one Kemi! ❤
Thank you for sharing
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O.
YW!☺
I couldn’t imagine Darryl Hannah as Shelby, but thought she did a great job playing against her type as Annelle.
@@beedeegee9374
Agreed!
The play was performed in the 90s by the high school my twin sisters attended, and one twin played Shelby, the other twin played M’Lynn. My mom and I were in the audience, and we were absolutely destroyed by the performance. Both of the twins did an amazing job, but for us, watching one of them grieve the other one so convincingly was devastating to witness. Especially for my mom. 💔
A very powerful story. I’m looking forward to watching your reaction to this classic.
One of my favourite movies and I’m a man, such a great cast. My favourite line is “ if you can’t say anything nice about anyone come sit by me” lol
hahahahaha I love it
One of the things that makes this story so much more frustrating is know that the real Shelby’s husband remarried 5 months after her death. It’s what motivated her brother to write the story. He wanted the baby to know what his mother had done for him. It’s an incredible movie and the cast is amazing. I’ve seen in many times over the years. Such inspiring everyday women supporting each other!
Why should the fact he remarried 5 months later be an issue? There is no rule about how long mourning is to last - besides -
Shelby let us know that she wanted the baby to "improve things" so it sounds like they had marriage issues already.
oh Jeanb.5405, getting married 5 months later is BAD. Even a deep cut on the leg needs more time to heal than that. Let's stop with this not putting a time on mourning - doctors put a time on healing ALL THE TIME. Give yourself time to heal. Don't rush things, oh it gonna take at least 12 months before he can use that arm again, etc. 5 months is wayyyyy to soon to remarry after losing 'the love of your life'. Down right shame!
Is that an issue? Wouldn't the person who passed away want their living partner to live on and keep going instead of being depressed and catatonic for years?
Everyone has their own time, some people need years others need months. You can't assume and force the time someone needs to heal on them
why is that frustrating?
@@アキコ2003 I hope for anyone that went through this kind of experience that they had someone to carry them on and I hope it wouldn't be looked as an "issue"..... unless there were suspicious activities.... iykyk
Oh my sweet friend, please have tissues handy❤ This movie is a Roller Coaster and such a Phenomenal Cast😊
Sally Field sold us in this film. They ALL did. A brilliant film done so well.
Just a masterpiece...im not a terribly emotional person...but this movie always has me hollerin with laughter, sobbing in devastation, and loving the whole experience! The power of chosen family❤
One of the cultural things to help put the relationships into perspective for you is that women in the South at that time were expected to be pleasant and polite and not show any anger. That these women seemed to be "nasty" to each other was showing just how close they were. They were being completely emotionally honest with each other in a way they couldn't be anywhere else in their lives. No masks, no facades.
Another great movie with Sally Fields (mom) based on real events:
"Not without my daughter" - consider reacting!
I read the book and was so excited when they announced the movie.
Unbeatable cast and amazingly drawn characters.
But Claree will always be my favorite! I'm still quoting lines from this movie 30-some years later.
The friendship Claree and Weezer have is so much like my best friend and I, and hopefully many others share this. You can say absolutely anything without offending but will defend each other to the end. And you know if you have a problem at 3 am, you can call them and they'll be there.
Loved it.
Louisa "Ouiser" Boudreaux and Clairee are my favorite twosome in cinematic history.
I love all the ladies but, yes, Clairee (Olympia Dukakis) is special.
"You know I love you more than my luggage."
"I'm not crazy. I've just been in a very bad mood for __ years."
"If you can't say anything nice about anybody, come sit by me."
"Nobody cries alone in my presence."
Oh, we’re gonna ugly cry together. Prepare yourselves.
Welcome to the club! Expect your “I slapped Ouiser Beaudreaux” t shirt in the mail.
hahahahaha
Sally Field performed her graveyard monologue at least 4 times, one for each supporting actress so their close up shots were real, in the moment, reactions. What a treasure.
The minister that performed Shelby and Jaxsons wedding ceremony and that was at the cemetery also is the author of the play that this is from and the real-life brother of Shelby!
When I hear what people call “Chick Flicks,” this is my gold standard. 😂 For some reason we had this on VHS as a kid, one of the few we had, and I watched it a bunch, not really understanding the deeper context on the story. 7-year old me just liked the banter and wholesome feel. Watching it again when I grew up, it hits so much harder.
Along with “Steel Magnolias”, “Fried Green Tomatoes”, “Love, Actually”, and “The Bridges of Madison County” are my top Chick Flicks.
@@beedeegee9374 for me gotta throw Dirty Dancing in there. It was one of the few VHS my grandma had and I watched it over and over during the summers.
@@Courdorygirl Yes, most definitely!
It breaks my heart when Jack Jr is screaming in Jacksons arms pointing cause he sees his mommy not moving . He was literally trying to get his daddy to look where he was pointing
Amazing acting n coordination by the child n crew
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. did you know that for the 4th of July scene we don't see Shelby face cause the child only wanted his mom and would cry sitting on Julia Robert's lap. So it's his actual mom in that scene
I go through the same emotional roller coaster every time I watch this movie. And I’ve watched it several times, because I love the friendship and relationships and love between those women.
What a freaking sweet patron message. I completely agree. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Haha
Oh, I can't wait to see your reaction on of my all time favorite movies. I still laugh and cry after watching it a thousand times. Only great friends talk to each other like that ... they are not mean, or rude or disrespectful .. just great friends who would give their shirt off their backs to help one another.
BTW, the priest is Shelby's real life brother. Also, in the hospital scene, Shelby's real life mother stayed till it was done, just to see Julia get up from the bed as Shelby never did. Apparently, it was some kind of closure for her. The nurses that were there were the real life nurses that took care of Shelby while she was there in the hospital. FYI. Thanks for the reaction and the tears.
It was a roller coaster ride, wasn't it? I think for more Dolly Parton movies, the next you should see is 9 to 5. Trust me, you'll just laugh and love that one.
Ditto that!
Straight Talk too! She's so great....
Looking forward to it. No matter how many times I watch it, it always makes me bawl.
I understand
When the mom is the only one that can stay at the end of her life and all the “strong” men have to leave the room, that rings so true to me. Women are made of steel.
I’m not sure there’s another movie that I cry so hard every time I watch it. It never gets easier. Brilliant acting, brilliant comedic relief. Perfect reaction to an amazing film. I’ve been waiting for this! And it did not disappoint
Thank you
Fried Green Tomatoes - wrecks me just as bad if not worse.
Girl, you've got my face and nose, all puffy now, from crying my eyes out !
I am sitting down with my dinner to watch with you now. I am SO excited, this is my go to when I need a good cry. Ouiser(Shirley MacLaine) can be unlikeable at first, but I actually think she's my favorite character. I love her relationship with Clairee. :)
True - they had an understanding
They all knew about Shelby being diabetic. Annelle did not know. Truvvy knew , Quiser knew., Clairee knew . Truvvy asked Mlynn immediately if she could have a cookie.
I’m from Louisiana. This an hour south from my city. I cried through laughter. And it was a true story. Her brother wrote this. Amazing.
Do you live in Shreveport ? I was born in Louisiana. We moved away from there when I was 4. We went back every single summer for years to visit my family. I have family in Ruston, Bernice and Minden. I was born in Bernice and then we lived in Monroe until we had to move away. I visited Natchidoches a few years ago. A beautiful little town. I most likely spelled it wrong. Lol.
I love the sense of community and friendship. They insult each other but they know each other enough to know there's no real malice. Great reaction.
Everyone but Annell knew she was type 1 diabetic clairee was just telling her because she said should i call someone...
Not true - Truvy was surprised at what was happening.
@tatamay126 But she didn't know what was happening at the start even. Or it also could be she knew she was a diabetic, but she just never saw her have a seizure before. She just grabbed the candy out of the drawer behind her because it was closest.
@ScenecrlyK.S.O. wrong. Everyone but Anell knew. My brother was a type 1 diabetic that almost died before being diagnosed (went into ketoacidosis and nearly a coma).. they were surprised it hit her so hard and fast, not that she was a diabetic.. Truvy knew to grab the candy.. to have it on hand. It was her shop.. she also had the juice on standby in the fridge.
10:20 - they were just messing around, pretending that the wedding is not a big deal and that either could change their minds. It's just being coy.
hahahah - love it.
I first found you searching for people reacting to What Lies Beneath, for which there are few (but its one of my favorite films). Watching that and this video- you lead life with kindness and empathy. You are a rarity and lovely, I appreciate your presence. New subscriber!
Thank you my Darling - much Love
Prepare for laughter and the water works.
Awww! I think this is the most I’ve seen you cry. Got emotional with you
I had a great time in my first livestream with Kemi in quite a while! Thank you Kemi and all the incredible moderators! This is one of my favorite films and what a sweet and genuine reaction. 😊😊😊
Thank you too!
Gotta watch Terms of Endearment and Postcards From the Edge.
I was wondering when you'd get around to this one. Such a beautiful movie. Sally Field killed that funeral scene. I cry every single time without fail.
I always come back to many of your previous reactions to certain movies and your reaction to this film is one of my favorites. Sally Fields' performance during the funeral scene is absolutely phenomenal. This movie use to make me cry as a child but now that I'm a mom, it just hits me so much harder.
Thank you dear
EVery time I see you watch a sad movie I always think "This poor lady, she is too sweet." I have seen this movie so many times over the years and you made my heart warm with this reaction.
I had to literally cover the screen when Kemi cried because I couldn’t handle 😭😭💕💕 I was a mess but loved this reaction ❤
Thank you Love
I love this movie so much even if I cry every time. The guy that wrote the story this was based on is in the movie as the preacher you see him at the wedding and funeral.
My and I always joke how we are going to be Ouiser and Clarice when we get older.
lol...
I love watching the obnoxious younger brothers and knowing that one of them is the writer.
Lol “who’s this handsome man?” Lol
Sometimes, you need a moment of levity at a funeral.
This movie hits me so hard now . Christmas night 2019 I had to sign those papers to take my son off life support. As a momma you never expect to have to bury your children . It’s just not suppose to work like that . Your children are the ones that literally know your heart from the inside out . Loved your reaction to this movie
You have to remember, when this was done dialysis was fairly new, only about 10 years or so. They didn't have the science then.
By the way, the writer "Shelby's" brother was the minister at the funeral
Im new here! Started with your musicals and now im making my way through the rest. I love how invested you get. I love how emotional you get! I can tell you'd be so fun to hang out with. You're just a breath of fresh air! ❤
I understand. I used to sit crying and saying exactly what you said. “It’s too much, it’s too much.” 😢😢
The real life mother of Shelby was on set for the scene when they took her off of the life support she had to watch Julia Roberts get up and walk away.
This movie not long after watching Beaches, talk about tears!
OH HUNNY I AM DONT FOR THEMONTH
Another great chick flick!
I've adored this film since the first time I saw it more than 2 decades ago. Thank you for your reaction 🥰
I was very touched by the story you told us about your mother. I truly loved that. Thank you.
i have lost count how many times i have watched this movie its one of my favorites so many good memories watching it with my mom and grandma growing up
I bawled out loud with you and I busted out in laughter. All time favorite movie.
One more beautiful Kemi reaction to a wonderful movie with an extraordinary cast.
My sister and I have MS, and when my sister decided to get pregnant at the age of 32 because she wanted to have a baby of her own, not an adopted one, I felt so much fear like never before in my life. There was a real chance of losing my sister and my best friend. My "little" sister means the world to me.
In the end, all went well and now her son is 21 and seems to be healthy.
But I will never forget how much I`ve been suffering through all the 9 months of her difficult pregnancy. I knew that having a child of her own meant more to her than her own life, and I also knew that I had to respect and accept her decision.
This movie made me remember the anxiety and angst of that time.
At times life can be hard as hell, and that`s why it is so important to see, collect, and embrace all the beauty it has to offer.
Because, let`s be honest, sometimes people cling to a straw to survive another day.
Some really good acting in this movie! One of my favorites😊 makes me cry every time 😢
This movie, I have my own DVD and watch it at least twice a year. Sally Fields breaks me every time with the scene at the cemetery. Brings ups my loses, my fiancé, my brother, my father.
Each loss is a different pain and a different reaction to that pain. My heart has old scars.❤️🩹 but we go on and remember them, like in the movie Coco, as long as we remember them, they’ll live on.
Not me welling up at you welling up 😭😭🥹🥰❤️
Oh my goodness…watching you react to this one is going to break me 😭
Oh the second i got this notification i *KNEW* you would cry 💜 its a beutiful story isnt it?
There is an all-black American cast version of this film too from 2012.
44:52 what a wonderful thing your mother taught you. ❤A very wise woman. 😊
This movie is so real it hurts. BTW there are t-shirts available that say "I slapped Weezy!"
They have been knowing each for years, so Truvy knew also she but what they didn't know was that having children could be detrimental to her body, fatally so, until Shelby's Mom informed them of how dangerous it could be.
All the actresses in Steel Magnolias was amazing. Shirley's role was hilarious 😂😂😂 My Mount Rushmore of Actresses: Elizabeth Taylor (1) Kathy Bates (2) Sally Field (3) Sharon Stone (4)
Love this movie! Getting a few tissues ready for the ending.
Looking forward to this reaction. 😊
Thank you for watching love
Channel hostess is GORGEOUS!
Her mom could not have done any more than she did - we all live with a conscience, a free will, and the result of our actions. Shelby should not have tried to be a working woman and a mom - when the Dr advised she not even work or have a baby - instead she does both things.
After all Annelle had the perfect explanation for the real meaning of Shelby’s mission on this earth. Beautiful movie. Thank you for the reaction.
46:02 such wise words
I saw this movie when it first came out. I ugly cried then and I cried with you today.😢❤
What a great movie about family and friendship!😊
I LOVE, LOVE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE MOTHER ❤
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
For those who don't know much about kidney transplants. The live donor can live a very long time with only one kidney. That is why the Donate Life organization uses the phrase "Share Your Spare". My son waited 3 years on dialysis for his kidney transplant at the age of 28. His donor, who I like to call our Angel, was about 35. After donating her kidney, she left the hospital 2 days later, and 8 weeks after that, she finished her first half marathon. My son has had no issues with his kidney and the donor is still very healthy. Shelby's body had already been through so much and she already had a compromised immune system from being diabetic since she was a small child. BTW, EVERYONE should be a registered organ donor.
I love this movie & you will too!
Yup, if I ever need to have a good cry but it won't come, this is one of my go-to movies. It IS a beautiful story, so sad, so funny, and so real. Not sure how real the dialogue is; I'm not Southern, and in the movies everyone always has the perfect comeback. I will say that I couldn't watch this movie for about five years after I lost a close friend to diabetic complications, but it's still one of my favorites.
Omg such a good movie. My daughter has type 1 diabetes and I can relate. Wild that I loved this movie at before kids and then my kid ended up a lot like the character. 😮❤
Shelby had a village with plenty of love and she knew it so she was okay with whatever happened when she decided to have a child despite her condition.
Sally Fields character name is M’Lynn. I’ve read for her in a college script reading. Great arc of her character.
This haircut reminds me of the one she had when she played Tinkerbell.
Yes, Truvy knew about Shelby being a diabetic. They all gossip together. They know everything about everyone. Shelby had too much insulin so her blood sugar dropped. Truvy had candy. They all knew but Annelle. Hence when she said “should I call an ambulance?”, they all said “no”. Truvy was shocked because it came on fast that time. She knew to call M’lynn over as soon as she saw her reacting. They’ve all known Shelby since she was a child. Doesn’t take away from their bond. I can see how it may have been misinterpreted.
The man who officiated the wedding was the real life brother of the real “Shelby”. And, Sally Fields…finest acting ever. I’ve seen it a million times, and I still bawl my eyes out every time I see it. I have one of every single one of those friends. I hope you liked the movie. It’s hard to watch, but a heartfelt story.
GIRL, I hadn’t cried over this movie again in 30 years until watching it with you. ❤
Aww Hunni, I wish I was strong enough to say more afterwards but I was just too weak - that scene where Shelby's mom cried at the funeral
I cry every time.
Look, I know this is based on real people. People don't want to talk negatively, but I was on M'Lynn'a side. I watched it young and still feel the same way at 37. Shelby was selfish, which she had every right to be, but in a way that still hurts others. Why have a child too carry a version of you on when you can't be there for the child. Shelby went in knowing should could die giving birth, which I think is such a waste. Based on the movie, Shelby didn't wait more than a year or two before giving up on adoption completely. I think that is my main reason for not being on Shelby's side. I could say so much more, but that really is the short of it.
Some of the best movies are tearjerkers! I cried too, as many of us did when we first saw this. Yes, no parent should ever bury their children, I just can't imagine.
24:18 Janice Van Meter, the current mayor’s wife who got hit with the baseball. Bless her ungirdled ❤️
I’m an insulin dependent diabetic, with a beautiful daughter. I was very lucky. I am as delicate a diabetic as Shelby was. I saw this when I was 14. It scared the heck out of my sister.
That opening was so beautiful and so accurate. We love you! ❤
Daryl Hannah is the new girl. She was the mermaid in Splash, and was hit with long blonde cornrow hair and a swimsuit 2 sizes too small.
Dylan McDermott eye's are blue.
Sally field should have won the oscar for that funeral scene. As usual the oscars miss the mark!
