She's Having a Baby (9/9) Movie CLIP - This Woman's Work (1988) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Waiting at the hospital, Jake (Kevin Bacon) thinks back on his marriage as his wife, Kristy (Elizabeth McGovern), has emergancy surgery while giving birth to their child.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
An aspiring writer faces up to the responsibilities of marriage and family in this romantic comedy from writer, director, and producer John Hughes. Despite the misgivings he pours out to best friend Davis McDonald (Alec Baldwin), Jake Briggs (Kevin Bacon) marries high-school sweetheart Kristy (Elizabeth McGovern). After an abortive attempt at graduate school in New Mexico, the couple settles in suburban Chicago. Jake fakes his way into a job as an advertising copywriter, while Kristy settles into her own corporate job. The couple faces the typical ups and downs of any new marriage, especially after Davis visits with a bimbo on his arm, regaling his pal Jake with tales of the good life. A few years later, Kristy decides to stop taking her birth-control pills -- and tells Jake about it three months later. Plagued by doubts, unfulfilled ambitions, and images of a fantasy girl (Isabel Lorca) he once spotted in a club, Jake resists the idea of fatherhood. Then he finds out he has low sperm count and, his manhood thus challenged, lines up for fertility clinic-assisted stud duty. The birth doesn't go as smoothly as Jake expected, however, setting the stage for climactic realizations. Edie McClurg, who played the nosy school secretary in Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off, makes a cameo appearance as an officious neighbor. In addition, a who's who of other Hughes alums and Hollywood stars lend their faces and voices to a series of closing-credits shots in which each suggests a name for the titular baby.

This song should have been at least nominated for the Oscar.

The last time I saw this movie. I was 16 and life was simple.
I thought. I will become a Dad one day.
Decades later I have two wonderful Boys.
13 and 5.
Lost one in between. Could have been the girl.

I guess I’ll see her in heaven.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Kevin Bacon deserved an Oscar for this performance. So realistic and heartbreaking

[ralphmouth]

33 years old and this still makes me tear up.

[survivrs]

I cried and cried through this. We had already been through 2 years of infertility when we saw this. Eventually things worked out, and not only were we blessed with 2 sons but now a granddaughter.

JOHN HUGHES we miss you. Thank you for the movies and memories. RIP.

[lolas]

One of the most moving scenes ever on film thanks in part to the song.  I was just a kid watching this movie and don't remember much of it, but this scene and song have never left my mind.

[MAXLAWLESSIBIZA]

John Hughes defined my 80's cinematic experience.  A formula lost on the MTV generation.  RIP dude. x

[ActionJackson]

Im single with no kids and makes me tear up

[frankfurlacker]

How come we never realize what we have until its almost gone? :(

[nbee]

After all these years this scene and song still leaves a lump in my throat from crying. I love this song so much. I miss the 80's when movies and songs had such depth and left an unforgettable emotional impact .

[Fkskmkkd]

This scene made me cry so much! This part was very well put together.

[cmdugan]

Hughes rightfully gets credit for being such a great writer but he was also an excellent visual storyteller and this scene shows it. If you look at the opening of Breakfast Club, the museum scene in Ferris Bueller or the ending of Planes Trains and Automobiles you can see it too. He lets the music and the characters faces and body language do the talking.

[briannawillis]

I think Kevin Bacon is so adorable in this movie with those big glasses, I remember that I used to have ones like that, those were the days :)

[jocelyngiaconna]

This song makes me think of my mom, who was sick with cancer, and all the pain and suffering she went through. She's been gone now for over 10 years, but it still feels like it was yesterday! I love and miss you mom, so much! RIP, with Jesus and Bro. I called my father bro, if anyone is wondering. I love and miss you too bro ❤️. I would give my life for one more second with them!!!😭😭

[Abbiii]

it really annoys me how so many people go on about maxwell yes i like his version but shes an amazing singer and she wrote this song specially for this film! well done Kate!!

[angelabrady]

This song is one to listen to when u have gone though the heartbreak of losing a pregnancy or a child during birth 😖😳
Love this movie and song. 💕

[petemoss]

Nice touch by Hughes @ 1:34, when Jake drops a single tear, and then we see a slow-motion drop of blood impact the OR floor.

[imeantloveyoueva]

yep, i can't handle this!! back to hair tutorials!!

[ashleighrt]

I love this movie, think the whole thing is beautifully done. This part is always the best bit though
