I've not seen this version yet but this clip makes me feel like this one's really special in its own right. The original Steel Magnolias was beautiful but this one has a different kind of flavor. It's still so touching and heartfelt. There is the same tone of fellowship between women, and mother with daughters.

I just don’t understand why Hollywood today has to have a “black version” of something that’s already been done. What is Hollywood trying to prove!? Instead doing copycat black version movies, SPEND TIME AND MONEY CREATING AN ORIGINAL STORY ABOUT BLACK FAMILIES, THERE ARE SO MANY. Seriously, this is supposed to be better than the original?

Both movies are so true. Last year,I was diagnosed stage 5- End Stage Kidney Failure. I never had enough support at age 8 in 1984 with T1D. Just like Shelby, I had a baby at age 24 yrs. Now she's my 21 yr old healthy daughter. I was induced a 1 month premature birth as she was only 6 lbs. My A1c was 6.1. I had 4 day labor. She was born at 8 month premature beautiful baby girl with C-section, Bragston Hicks contractions every 2-4 minutes too painful, no dialation, Toxemia (high BP) they couldn't allow me to push naturally, so she was born with a temporary cute cone head since she was trying to be born for 3 days! They induced me & broke my water on 4th day. I cry each time I glimpse these scenes in movies. .I'm trying to prepare for my long unwated end or live a healthy kidney donor transplant. Im blind. I'm 46 yrs old but I'm positive about the very little family support I grew up with. It's ok. I hold no bitter feelings I did not have a tough love mom like Shelby or a wonderful husband, big house, or amazing background. I just lived my life very little. I still want to pet or hug a dolphin. I haven't eaten scallops, or been to another country other than US & Mexico (born there) I'd love to visit Italy or Hawaii! I'm still too broke & pandemic is so scary..I don't have grandchildren yet! I need more college to finish my associates degree. When I started losing my sight , I lost time and driving ability. With so much stress n sadness that my own mother kicked me out of her house because I became terminally ill is too heart debilitating. My own big brother evicted me out of her house as she lied to everyone about me lying of my condition.. I just couldn't take care of her anymore. My 76 yr old mother disliked I wasn't healthy or wealthy enough so during pandemic, older brother with T2D with alcoholism & she (not diabetic) evicted us out of her home. Im more loved by my husband. I love him so much! He's made me feel things happen for good reasons. And that is what I grew up without. I feel special with him. Thank you for all the comments that help me feel normal..and these movies! 💗💓😂💕

the way she picked up that sweet baby. 💔 I lost my sweet friend last year and this is exactly how I feel about her own sweet baby boy she left here. Oh, my heart.

I always feel bad when mlynn loses Shelby it reminds of my grandma losing my aunt and my mom aunt fran had a heart attack and my mom died of cancer. Poor thing lost their baby it makes me cry

I did NOT know this movie was based on a true story until recently. That is Phylicia Rashad's daughter playing Shelby, I believe. I thought that was cool. 💛💜❤️

So glad somebody posted this

This version always has a special place in my heart beautiful performance 🥺🥺🙌🏼⭐️

This really hits me hard...my paternal grandmother was a Type 1 diabetic, and in 2000, she had a heart attack that was brought on by her T1 Diabetes. The doctors attempted to do bypass surgery on her, but there wasn't a whole lot they could do. Me and my family all saw her fighting for her life in the ICU, and to me, the sights and sounds were disturbing to me thanks to my autism - and it also made my fears of the hospital even worse. I had expected my paternal grandmother to pull through this ordeal...she didn't. She passed away at the age of 63 in 2000. As of me making this comment, the sole surviving grandparent I have left on this planet is my maternal grandmother - my maternal grandfather was one of the many lives that were claimed during the tornado that struck Western Kentucky in December of 2021.

Cried at the original, cried at this one. In the original, Sally Field said she felt fine, could you while her daughter never could, and was always prepared to go first. I KNOW that feeling as I see my son's illness slowly sapping his strength and ability. I have NO idea how I will ever be able to deal with it when his time comes!. He leaves no children, no one to cling to as a part of him!!!

I've Seen Both Versions Of This Movie. Both Are Extremely Sad. I Can't Even Imagine What The Real Family Went Through. 😭😭😭😭😭

OK, that’s not how we did it. If we had a terminal extubation, we would quietly go in, explain what we were going to do, and then ask if the family wanted to stay while we removed the equipment. Often, the mom would want to stay. We would then give the patient Ativan to make sure they didn’t experience fear or anxiety, and an opiate to make sure there was no pain. We would then tell the family we were going to remove the equipment, and let them have a last kiss, words, etc. If someone stays, the respiratory therapist would deflate the balloon and I would take it to the side in a hand towel. We would tidy the person back up, remove all invasive lines (unless they were a coroner’s case) and then let the family back in. We don’t just walk in and disconnect the vent. People want a last image of their person at peace, not looking like a failed lab experiment. When the telemetry shows the heart has stopped, I go in and we pronounce the patient. Broke my heart, every time. ICU nurse, hospice and ED PRN.

Queen Latifah killed this scene. Holy shit this was good

So sad she dies. But glad she was able to complete her dream of being a mom

So Emotional! The actors really embodied their characters. Great job to 👑 👏 THE Queen Latifa👏 👏

I haven't seen this version yet. The original is one of my all time favorite movies. From this clip I can tell this is just as heartbreaking as the original.

I love Queen Latifah. But honestly why do we a black Remake of a perfect Original?

I love Queen Latifa but I don’t think anything can top the original.

Both Versions Are Classic

Hardest thing in life Parent lose child! 😢

This scene is so triggering for me because this reminds me of when i lost my dad on New Years Eve. He had cancer, diabetes and CHF. Seeing how they had Shelby with those wires and tubes were the same way as they had him. He was supposed to have heart surgery, but his heart gave out before it was going to be done. RIP Dad 🙏🤍🕊

This brought me to tears. Well done scene.

Wow I didn’t k ow that they remade it🥺

I feel so very stupid now. I did not know there was a remake of the older 1989 Steel Magnolias movie. Thank you for sharing these moments.

This one tore me up!! 😢

I didn’t realize that there was a remake of this movie. This clip still made me cry ugly tears, I need to find and watch the whole thing now.

“What if she wakes up for a minute and I’m not here?” Time is precious when you’re low or don’t have any. If we know time is running out, there is nothing we love more as Mothers than time with our babies.

I loved the original and I love this too.

Great acting from all of them!! But nothing can beat the first one

Jesus this is heartbreaking

This is first time I have heard of this movie, seen the original a few times over the years.😊

Don't look at me! I've got something in my eye!

Queen did a really good job.

Underrated Remake

The two movies at this scene set are different, but I think Queen Latifa created a different but just as moving performance in her scene set. Overall Sally Fields is a better actress, but when it comes to the acting here, it's just as strong of a heart connection. Especially if you play it silently. I think the music was better on the original in this scene set. And the direction of having her ask where the child is, and having the child run to grandma was better than directing her to come pick up the child. Some of the emotion is missed by doing that. But that is the direction and screen writings, not the actresses.

When M'lynn Gave Jackson the papers it felt to me was her saying to him that it was alright to let her go

funny how Queen Latifah is the mother in law of her love interest on the Equalizer

No idea why this was shot so terribly. Queen Latifah did an excellent job, but it was undercut by poor camera choices, like the choice to not push in closer when she gets Jackson Jr. weird, poorly thought out, by the numbers

When you get the actual doctors and nurses who actually treated Susan ( Shelby) that's such a poignant moment for the family. This should never had Been remade

They really did a remake of steel magnolias? The original was phenomenal.

I couldn't imagine having to sign that paper 💔

Shelby we love you 😍

Liked the both ❤..sad all around 😢

I wish they had taken more than two weeks to film this version and changed the script up a little. It’s not fair to have this great of a cast only to have them critically compared to the original

4:08 💔

You can't remake Steel Magnolias. The original is the only one.

Queen Latifah is excellent

Hollywood has so much talent that all they can do is remake movies.

this scene wrecked me the way she ran to hold her baby to feel close to her again

This version is on you tube

Me over here giggling about the feedback if Set If Off, Fences, Color Purple is remake with all non-blacl cast.

I prefer the original one. Definitely sally field she was awesome!!!!

Robyn Macall & Dante,..

Why don’t they make movies about Mae C Jemison (The first African female astronaut) or Surya Bonaly who performed a backflip while ice skating at the 1998 olympics

Can't remake this film

Latifah was great. The husband and dad were great (don't know their names). I wasn't thrilled with the rest of the women. There was a lot more they could have done with the acting

I hate this part. It’s so sad like wtf.

Man, the acting in this is not good. They must have had to order the Costco size bottles of glycerin to use on the set.

Why? Lol

Why redo such a classic movie don' care for this one some movies and music need to be left alone

Hold up

Why are people always trying to remake excellent films? It's like Beaches. Just to name one. Or replace one actor for another. In film and T.V. Just leave perfection alone. It's hard to see past Parton, Fields, Roberts, Hannah and so on. The chemistry's amazing.

Why make a remake? Nothing compares to the original sorry

You cant beat the original on this. Queen latifa is great but bo comparison.

They're remaking everything now. Is Hollywood running out of new material?

the original version is better

This is terrible. How can anyone even think they could outshine Sally Fields in THIS scene?? Sally Field's Monolog absolutely tears me apart, her role and particularly, this monolog is a Master Class of great emotional acting. Latifah here is just bland, phoning it in. It's a bad karaoke. This should have never been made.

Why would they ever remake this? Cringe af

The first one was better. No one can do better than Sally Field and Julia Roberts.

They completely ruined this movie for the sake of being politically correct. There was absolutely no point to this

They had no right to try to remake a classic movie. IF its not broke dont fix it

Original better

Yawwwnnnn

Why remake a classic when it already was made just fine? Just because the original cast was all white? So it's a racial thing? TF I ain't watching remakes. If the original was never made I'd be sure to watch this one. But it was already a made deep and heartfelt classic. It was for everyone.

Cultural appropriation

The fact that they remade it with all black characters is so wild. Just strengthens the divide. Instead of having a mixed cast.

I think it's time there was a white version of the Underground Railroad. Kathy Bates can play Harriet Tubman.

This steel magnolias is crap. And it should never be compared to the original. Which is an all time classic.

Susan Harling Robinson (Shelby) was a white girl. Why is everyone black in this movie? What’s the purpose of this? Be original and do not rewrite the history

1st one Great 2nd one sucks

Why does Hollywood INSIST on remaking great movies so they can use an all African-American cast? So pathetic. Never watched this and never will because you shouldn’t try to imitate what worked. AND it was based on a true story where those involved were not African American.

What a garbage attempt at relevance. Shelby was real. Her brother wrote the story. Get your own. I’m sure they’re out there.

for one thing the REAL family was white so whoever did this basically spat on the real life family for rewriting the movie to fit their own agenda!!

Why do they steal other movie ideas and remake them simply because they’re black? Seems lazy

Wait what. Bro the black washed this movie? Lmfaooooo

Oh look another movie where they took an original idea and remade it with all Black people
