I'm just curious, because I don't think I could have dropped my own son over a cliff. Especially since one of your kids was already dead. I wouldn't have been able to do it. I don't care how evil he was I would have saved Macaulay.
What about you?

I would've let go of Henry, because Henry could fly.
shareBut didn't Macaulay kill his little brother?
Warner Music Group Sucks!
that was a difficult situation for sure. In a way it's too bad she couldn't save both of them despite all of Henry's actions. Who knows what would've happened if she saved Henry instead of Mark though. Another thing I've kind of wondered and that no one has seemed to mention, or at least I don't think so, is that what would've happened if she dropped both of them?? The ending would've then been very very different.
shareI get the feeling if she saved Henry that once he got back up he would try and push her over again. For real. Like he is going to let his mom lock him up in a mental institute.

That's a really difficult question to answer. We all know there is no love like the love for your child. I don't even have kids and I can imagine what that feels like. With that said though, I would think of Elijah Woods' character as very loving and one that tried to warn me, save my life. So, I would think that I would want to give him life versus giving life to a boy that I pretty much knew was evil. In the end though, it would be difficult to drop either of them. I would probably try to save both and end up dropping both.
I don't know pretty horrible thing to think about.
Are you being serious? I would have saved Mark for many reasons.
1. He was completely innocent.
2. He'd had tried to warn the mum and she'd hit him for it and told him not to lie so she'd feel guilty.
3. Mark had just saved her life.
4. Henry had admitted to killing his brother and watched silently as she ripped herself apart blaming herself for the 'accident'.
5. 4. pretty much proves that Henry tried to kill his sister as well.
6. And most bloody obvious, he'd just tried to kill her.
The fact that in the film she was even thinking about it shows what a bad person she was.
I'm sorry but if my obviously evil son and a completely innocent boy, who had actually tried to warn me about the whole thing and then saved my life, were dangling from my arms and on top of that whilst Mark was silently pleading, Henry was verbally trying to get me to drop Mark, i'd be a complete retard to save Henry.
Books and movies are apples and oranges, there both delicious but dont taste the same (Steven King)
who says mark was innocent dont forget the stories told from marks point of view he may of been falsifying teh facts to make him look like the good guy and henry the evil one dont forget that he saw susan as a replacement for his own (dead) mum
Exactly. If she had saved Henry instead, or even if she had successfully saved both boys, Henry would simply try again to kill her, and Mark. Now that they both knew the truth about him. Or he'd have shoved Susan off the cliff and blamed it on Mark, crying crocodile tears. And in the future, he'd have murdered his sister, and his father, not to mention...Lord knows how many others. She made the only choice she could, as agonizing as it was. Yes, Henry may have been born the way he was, but that doesn't change the fact he is still responsible for his own choices. Even though I was torn up when Thomas J died in "My Girl," that innocent, guileless child, I felt nothing for Henry when he was dropped.
shareMark wasn't there when the mother was pushed...and Henry knew the duck was in his shed...and Henry built the bolt machine. I like the idea that the bad son was actually the good son...but naaaa...he wasn't.

I would have dropped Henry. Mark was already slipping and I think that Henry could have just saved himself because he was hanging on with both hands. He could climb up to the tree house real well, so why couldn't he climb up the cliff using his mother's arm? I think he was just using that to guilt his mother into killing Mark. If she had saved him, Henry would have just killed his mother and thus, he would have won.

Yep. Susan would have pulled Henry up crying and would have immediately held him in her arms. At some point Susan would have her back to the edge of the cliff and Henry would shove her away from him and she would topple over. Am I the only one that sees that scenario in my head? Maybe Henry would work up some convincing crocodile tears and run crying back home saying something about how Mark pushed him and his mom over the cliff but how he was able to catch hold of the side and climb back up. And how Mark tumbled over the cliff when they were fighting after he climbed back up. Sometime later Connie would die from an "accident". Then years later when Henry didn't need anyone to take care of him and was sure to inherit everything he would kill the dad.

Mark would have to go for that very reason. Hold on with both hands or I'm not gonna save you. Help me help you. I can't care about your life when you don't care enough to hold on with both hands.
shareI would have dropped both, and then grabbed another couple of kids and pushed them off too.

Both
shareI would have dropped Henry. He killed his little brother, tried to kill his little sister twice by drowning her and smothering her with a pillow. (Only reason he didn’t was because his mother was there which he didn’t know when he went into the room.) He also tried to kill his mother. Had she helped him up I don’t doubt he’d have shoved her off again. Then told his father a sob story of how Mark had shoved Susan when she was trying to help him and they both tumbled off the cliff. Lets be honest had Henry lived he'd been in a mental ward for the rest of his life, not much of a life imo. Kids better off dead.
