Film Description: The year is 1947. Aspiring southern author Stingo (Peter MacNichol) heads to New York to seek his fortune. Moving into a dingy Brooklyn boarding house, Stingo strikes up a friendship with research chemist Nathan Landau (Kevin Kline) and Nathan's girlfriend, Polish refugee Sophie Zawistowska (Oscar-winner Meryl Streep). There is something unsettling about the relationship; Nathan is subject to violent mood swings, while Sophie seems to be harboring a horrible secret. Stingo soons learns that both Nathan and Sophie are strangers to truth; the audience is likewise led down several garden paths by a series of sepia-toned flashbacks, depicting Sophie's ordeal in a wartime concentration camp. The scene in which we discover the facts behind Sophie's "choice" is a gut-wrenching one; it might have been even more powerful had not the film taken so long to get there. It is betraying nothing to reveal that the character of Stingo is the alter ego of William Styron, upon whose best-selling novel the film was based. The film is rated R, due in great part to a disposable scene wherein Stingo tries to put the make on a "liberated" female intellectual.

  • I would have died on the spot.

  • So scary how the girl screams like holy shit makes me feel bad for the character

  • @matthiify go and die in a hole

  • I cried during this scene

  • @matthiify I sincerely hope you never have children if, even on Youtube, you comment that this scene, which the great Meryl Streep could only preform once, makes you laugh. I also sincerely hope that you will realize that being a parent is not something to sneer or makes snide comments at. It is hard, often thankless work. I am not a parent myself, but when or if I am, I will look back on this day and realize my children will be lucky to have a parent who cares about them.

    Fuck you!

  • this is funny

  • I feel physically sick and I'm not even a mother...I can't imagine what it feels to be a mother and even just watch this seen...Oh my gosh...

  • @Psergiorivera So did the little girl!!!

  • Meryl Streep did a very good job in this scene! However the man who made this scene truly memorable was the very talented Austrian character actor Karlheinz Hackl, who plays the sadistic SS officer. Man, I wish they would have elaborated on and gave his character alot more screen time. He was even more convincing and terrifying than Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. Had they given Hackl more material to work with and screen time, he probably would have won an Oscar! He's that good!!

  • I woulda said kill me instead , this made me cry :/
