Title: Movie About an Abusive Mother (Possibly 1980s or 1990s LifeTime)
Post by: dcj2112 on June 27, 2020, 07:40:59 AM
I watched Mommie Dearest earlier this month for the first time in a LONG time (probably 20 years at least). There was a scene I was expecting to see that wasn't there. So I guess it was from some other movie about an abusive mother.

Just like in Mommie Dearest the whole movie is about a mother who is portrayed as just the most evil person imaginable. At one point though she actually does something kind for her child and gets the girl a goldfish. The girl is overjoyed and just about to get into a car with her mother as she is holding the goldfish who is in a glass bowl rather than a plastic bag as you'd usually see. The mother's ex-husband then appears and the mother starts going INSANE. This culminates with the mother throwing the goldfish bowl on the ground. The scene ends with a shot of the goldfish flopping around on the ground amid the shattered glass.

Anyone have any idea?
