* There's also the part where the families say goodbye just as Annie and Elizabeth are about to go back to London.

* The scenes where Annie reveals herself to Chessy and Hallie reveals herself to Elizabeth are both incredibly emotional. Chessy falls to pieces the second Annie admits who she is, blurting out her birth weight and length and asking to hug her, in tears. And when Hallie admits to Elizabeth who she is and that she wanted to get to know her mother, there's an incredibly heartbreaking moment when you realize that, as much as she might have agreed to it or even come up with the idea, the separation has been just as hard on her as Hallie.

* In a meta example, there's the sudden and tragic death of Natasha Richardson at only the age of forty-five. Lindsay Lohan's tribute to her said "she was a wonderful woman and actress who treated me like I was her own. I didn't see much of her over the years but I will miss her." In any 'Where are they now?' interviews, cast members will usually get a little choked up when talking about her. Not only that, but her counterpart from the 1961 version of the film, Creator/MaureenOHara, actually ended up ''outliving'' her.
** This makes Elizabeth's final speech in the movie all the more heartbreaking, where she mentions that she'd like to grow old with Nick. Her poor actress didn't get that chance, and ended up leaving her husband and children behind.
