In the film Marvin's Room, there is a moving scene between two sisters who have been estranged for fifteen years. . . .

"It's been a good life for me. I've been very lucky to have had so much love," Bessie tells her sister through her tears.

"I know," Lee says. "They've loved you very much."

"Well, yes, but, I mean, I've been the lucky one, to have been able to love so much," Bessie answers.
