At the end, she says, "Goodbye Bountiful". She should have said "Thank you, Bountiful" because she never left Bountiful. Bountiful always lived within her heart.
i love geraldine paige but i preferred her in "what ever happened to aunt alice" it was far superior to this movie. I don't understand why she liked that run down old shack and why did she want to buy it??? i bet her son did not want her to buy it because his wife wanted the money
@shalomboy11 dadgum,haven't you EVER had a home that you were raised in or did you grow up on the street? Anybody that is OLDER can certainly identify.Wait until all your family but you is gone and you stand in front of an old empty "run down shack" with only the memory of happy times and loving voices to go with you the rest of your days.You might get it then.
Very few movies are perfect in every way. This is one of them, and this scene is one of the most powerful ever filmed. So simple, yet so filled with meaning and emotion. It turns me into a blubbering baby every time.
Richard Bradford shines in this. He is the epitome of a gentleman. Geraldine Page, always a remarkable actress, gives a meaningful and memorable performance. This was my grandmother's favorite film. She took her own trip back to the Texas land once owned by her parents just a few years before she passed on and her impressions were as poignant as Miss Carrie's. An enchanting film. Thank you for this, my favorite scene.
@ThymeBottle oh my girl,are you and I kindred spirits,or what?? We should have been SISTERS! we always like the same things and have the same feelings about them.This reminded me so much of my own grandmother.My mother loved this film,and,so do I.I can identify as time goes on.
@crowleysridgegirl Grandmothers are special people in our lives. I'm sure that to see the land lying fallow, overtaken with mesquite and cedar, the old homestead abused after her parents' tragic demise, must have broken my grandmother's heart. That old expression that you can never go home, rings true, i suppose.
Just got done watching this. I absolutely love it. Geraldine played this perfectly. She reminded me of my grandma and I guess me one day. At the end of our lives, when the life has been lived and us mourning the past, but letting it go to freely meet death and with it the release of past for something far greater than what we experienced here. And the actress that plays her daughter-in-law did a great job in making her a real bitch of a woman.
The beauty and tragedy of mortality: time passes.

This is not part 1, rather the end of the movie.
