I first saw this movie as a teenager. I am now almost 62. This movie is one of the most powerful films I have seen. It has stayed with me all these years. There is an old saying "A mother can take care of 5 children yet 5 children can't take care of one mother" Watch this beautiful movie and if it is still possible call your parents.

When Leo Macary got a oscor for best director on 'the awful truth' he said "thanks, but you gave it to me for the wrong picture."

This nmovie and Tokyo Story prove that our problems cross the boundaries of time and space.

@TheLagata62 History repeats when man does not learn the first time around.....

[TheLagata62]

Strange, in viewing this wonderfuly movie, it seemed like they were going through the SAME thing(s) we are going through during THIS generation, losing house's, selfish children, etc. It's a movie to always remember with a big message to go along with it....

The message in this film is priceless. We only have our parents for a short time, they are a gift form God. Children! Cherish and honor your parents....

I SAW THIS PICTURE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT (CHRISTMAS DAY)..

It surely is one of the most powerful ones I have ever seen,,,

Think I first saw this on the 10AM matinee movie on TV when I was maybe 8 yrs old in 1960, home ill from school after we moved to the States from Canada. Missed my Nannas, my family terribly. Began going to nursing homes to listen to life stories, realized that I never wanted to end up in one. Now I live in a part of Mexico where there are none, partly because of the geriatric prisons that may well have been my fate had I stayed in the US or Canada. Most older expats here feel the same way.

Also, what i love about this movie is that it has two very good moral lessons. First, honor your Father & Mother and take care of them when they get sick and/or old. And second, save your money. If this movie doesn't give everyone the motivation to save and squirrel away every spare penny you can get your hands on. Then nothing will!

[Buffalobigboy69]

For such a nice elderly couple like this. They sure raised a bunch of selfish ungrateful children! I mean what are the chances ALL of them would be so unfeeling towards there own parents. The bigger picture here is that a few years FDR would bring about SSI. A safety net to protect older couples who couldn't work anymore. Before that if you didn't work your whole life and save your money. You could easily end up on the street or the poor house. You absolutely had to be self-sufficient!

What? What? They'd always what?!?!? What a place to end a clip. "A 'cliphanger'."

This film was very good. but so depressing I can't watch it again. I do recommend you see it at least once
