Why exactly does Jose break down and cry in his mother's arms? He didn't seem to have anything specific to be sad about at that moment. Was it just the comfort of being home in his otherwise miserable life?

It was the pent-up emotions breaking free...
shareWere you not paying attention to the movie at all?
shareLoss is like that. It can come up at any time and you will cry, but especially at moments of peace, quiet, or even beauty. In this case, it was the warmth of his family's home, in particular the love of his mother, which had no condition, and only cared for him. It's the contrast to the pain and conflict that is in him, that brings it out. As the author said, it was a release.
