Grab the tissues.
This one is a doozy.
The premise: She bakes a cake, and they bring it to a bar.
‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ Prime Video
Theyre on a mission to land Jane, at the very least, a little action.
The old adage apparently holds merit: The way to a mans heart is through his stomach.
So, here are the most heartbreaking moments from the Prime Video original movie.
Spoiler Warning for Sitting in Bars with Cake.
I should be learning some major life lesson right now, but Im just annoyed.
Corrine: brave and undaunted.
Jane: thoughtful and introspective.
Corrine is young, and she wants to live.
Shes rejecting the Hollywoodification of pain the idea that with each struggle comes some sort of step toward self-realization.
Sometimes, youre just going through it, and all youre doing is waiting for it to be over.
I forgot your birthday.
Corrine is in the hospital, and she is suffering from a bit of memory loss and confusion.
Shes unsure of the month, unsure of the day.
When Jane gives her this information, she says, I forgot your birthday.
To Corrine, what many would deem inconsequential at this time is no less significant.
I just needed something to be mad at.
Im not mad at you.
Fred notes that they shouldve taken Corrine home with her.
If they did, maybe she would have gotten better.
When Jane approaches Fred later in an apologetic fashion, he tells her this.
Jane did all in her power all anyone, even her parents, could have done.
Her sickness is no ones fault.
He simply needed somewhere to direct his rage.
Direct this aching dejection and misery.
This line is, once again, tragic in its sheer honesty.
Saying it out loud is ownership of the behavior.
I never thought Id have so much fun.
Ruth and Jane sit down and begin a little walk down memory lane.
Yet, in Ruth fashion, she caved and let Corrine get it earlier.
Ruth admits that she actually really likes the ink, too.
Ruth then articulates this beautiful realization regarding her daughter.
Corrine is such a bright light.
She brings joy and a contagious, neverending pool of energy wherever she goes.
But, it is when Jane replies, Me neither, that we lose it.
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Corrines Wham!
Thats how she sings this in one of the films opening scenes at the bar.
Yet, toward the end, she selects this song once more.
Bestie love is stronger than the fear of a little public humiliation.
The pain here lies in the juxtaposition between this scene and the opening montage.
We see how fast Corrine has declined.
However, shes still smiling.
She refuses to let whats to come control her in the now.
Jane doesnt die at this moment, but it indicates that she only has so much time left.
I never wanted to move to LA.
All I knew is that Id follow you wherever you went.
Corrine cuts the tension a bit by replying duh, but it makes the moment no less tender.
Jane went to LA for Corrine, because Corrine is such a positive influence on her life.
Its a remarkable commentary on their friendship and the bang out of bond they possess.
They both have changed each other for good..and for the better.
