This movie had me from the start. At the end, I cried like a Baby. Oh, how some things never change.

I have seen this movie dozens of times, but, loaned it out to someone and they did not give it back. Each time I see it, I cry like a baby. I recently lost my Mother 8-15-2008, and after the funeral some body made the comment that her funeral was one of the most beautiful funerals that they have seen, since watching Imitation of Life, and they were right, only thing is we did not have a horse and carriage for my Mom. It also, reminds me that you should be proud of your heritage and treat your Mother right, because you never know when she will be gone(like mine was 64 and passed in her sleep), I did not have time to say good bye, but, there are no regrets as to how I treated my Mother. I have recommended this video to everyone I come across, it is a great lesson on life itself.


4 out of 5 stars A True Classic   September 17, 2008
Rodney A. Johnson (Dallas,TX USA)
What a great film my grandmothers loves this movie she would stop and watch it whenever it came on tv which is not often.So i decided to buy her the movie.She loved the quality of the picture and sound because in the past she had a old worn out VHS tape that didn't work well So she was thrilled with this DVD. Although it didnt have any extra features or commentary she still loved it.It's one of the few pictures that can make her cry i'm not sure why you would watch something that makes you cry but shes happy with it so i'm satisfied with this DVD.

I have always loved this movie ever since I first saw it some 40 years
ago. So when I had a opportunity to make it a part of my permanent
movie collection I jumped at the chance. It is a moving and emotional look
at the status of race relations in America.
