Is My Mom Right??** SPOILER**

Mothers would always say that Mom's are right. I am not a mother, but have to admit that it is that movie.

And I won't reveal you the spoiler about her choice. In fact it doesn't matter that much, or it doesn't matter at all. The fact that she had to chose is her tragedy, and this is the essence of the movie. So you have already revealed the biggest spoiler in the movie (the one that is discovered near the end, in the last flashback).

EDIT 5 days later: the OP corrected the title and warned readers that there is a very important spoiler. Well done, thanks!

Yeah, she had to choose. It was sooo sad, I cried like a small child x[

This choice is the "elephant in the room" throughout most of the story and not fully revealed until near the end, but yes, your Mom's right.

In a way. A lot of it too is the guilt she felt during that time. think the choice was the worst guilt she felt, but wasn't the only guilt.

Your mom offers an interesting point to consider but, as I understand it, Sophie doesn’t actually have a choice. If she had, she’d have chosen that she and both her children not be in that situation at all. Something she’d tried to make happen but was refused.

What she got was a circumstance and result that she did not choose.

The horrible irony is that the title uses the word 'choice' as though she gets to take her preference between two flavors of ice cream. In the same situation, none of us would in any way consider this a matter of choice.

Instead of asking, but saying no spoilers, why don't you just watch the film and find out?
