Even as an adult, this scene from Pet Sematary gets me every time and nearly makes me cry.
The 2 year-old toddler gets run away by a huge truck. If I were a mother, I'm not sure who I would get more pissed off at:
- The father for getting distracted and then failing to save the kid on time (he even trips)
- The truck driver who should have pay attention to the road and drive slow, then sue him
The sad thing is this type of accident seems to happen in real life too. Every year, a new kid gets run away either by a car or truck. In fact, my younger 20 year-old cousin had a close call like that as a toddler but my aunt pulled her by the coat at the last moment. Both my aunt and the truck driver ended up crying. Till this day, sometimes she blames herself on that day for nearly failing her daughter.
