Alberta died having this married man's baby while he was home with his wife. There's a lot to learn from this.

[victoriaburroughs]

I’ve seen some people in the comments say that Troy loved Alberta and would’ve ran off with her had she lived. In my opinion, only half of that statement is true. Yeah, Troy would’ve probably abandoned his wife and family, but not because he loved his mistress. No, Troy was incapable of loving or pleasuring anyone but himself. Alberta and his daughter would’ve have ended up like Rose and his sons: As burdens he felt obligated to provide for rather than blessings he was supposed to cherish. In a way, Alberta was spared.

[jasmines]

Image being a wife and watching your husband grieve over another woman.

[zh]

This scene makes me think he was going to leave Rose if Alberta didn’t die..

[Rice_peace]

I think about this scene all the time. Rose is a saint for how much empathy she has.

[regel]

This scene is comedy gold to me. Imagine a man’s WIFE forming him his side chick died while birthing his illegitimate child and him having the audacity to let his knees buckle

[marcuslosgreat]

He lost his wife the moment he asked for some room to breathe. They weren't the same after that

[robertbragg]

This is a very powerful movie. When actors and actresses can make you feel the way these two do there should be more than an award for best role in a movie. Its so much more. It's like hearing a song that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. This movie is definitely a classic and will withstand the sands of time.

[CraigSmithII]

He loved Alberta more than he did his wife. Sad

[MsFermenter]

Master storytelling, August Wilson was a master of emotion.

[Yeluguhidar]

Sad scene. Shows you the selfishness of a man. Then turn around and show you the strength of a woman. Any man who finds a wife like this, hold on to her. If not, I’ll gladly take her for myself.

[margaretmccarthy]

Talk about a woman having the Grace of God, this woman was blessed with it, she definitely deserves an Academy Award for her role in this movie ❤very moving

[yoztsub]

Men couldn’t know this strength. She is incredible.

[moandbrainysmurffan]

I just finished reading the play the movie’s based on. It’s heartbreaking.

[SaintVodou]

These men so outraged by the world’s cruelty—they don’t hesitate to pass that cruelty on to the women they claim to love, missing the moment when they stopped being victims and became perpetrators.

[tahirjennings]

It wassant that he was sad she died it hit him that he gonna have to raise a baby by himself he couldn't keep the child away he would have to constantly vluve with that burden constantly in the house ultimately the Gilt and stress killed him he drowned in his own mess

[shilohivy]

Scene after scene viola puts on a master class

[eventingirl]

When Rose took the call from the hospital, I think she knew she was always going to take in the baby. Troy never had to ask. But I think the moment that he asked and the way that he asked cemented that their marriage was over. They had been together so long, you would think that he would have known the kind of woman he married.

[bobsburgers]

I'm sorry but I couldn't cheat on all that beauty and strength. Her and I probably would've had 4 kids that I didn't like.

[garyrespers]

1:10 exactly how I feel when I get out of bed in the morning..
