Cinema Devotee on Instagram: "In Sophie’s Choice (1982), Meryl Streep had to perform one of the most heartbreaking scenes ever filmed where Sophie is forced by the Nazis to make an unthinkable decision about her children. The moment was so devastating that Streep said she could only perform it once. She explained that the pain and emotion were too real to go through again, so the take we see in the film is the only one she ever gave. #cinema #heartbreaking #merylstreep"

In the scene where Sophie is forced to make an unthinkable decision, Streep poured so much real grief into the moment that she refused to do a second take. The raw pain you see on screen is from a single, unforgettable performance. #filmhistory #merylstreep #cinema #emotional #classic"
