It strikes at the viewers heart and emotions. One character that i find unforgettable is Sarah Jane, an outsider, she is beautiful, vulnerable, openly sensual and determined to make the kind of life for herself that would be denied to her mother. Considering the racist society of the time, its a wonder that Mrs. Johnson would not want on some level, for her daughter to pass which would have ensured her a better life at that time. The music in this film is wonderful. Especially the song sung by Mahalia at Annie's funeral, the song was a fitting tribute to a fine person who would be going on to a better place after death. Also, when Troy Donahue confronts Sarah Jane, the music is striking and overwhelming. An unforgettable film. ", 'Simply a classic! The reason this version of Imitation of Life is more popular than the 1934 version is because it really tries to address the racial issues of the day. The original is true to life in that a white woman takes advantage of her black maid\'s pancake recipe and is able to make it into a successful business. But the black woman refusing to share in the profits was unrealistic in my opinion. There\'s a difference between being humble and being stupid. In any event, Sirk\'s version is lavish and soapy, but with all of these elements that ring true to this day. Lora IS ambitious, so much so that she gives up the man she loves to pursue her dream of becoming a successful actress. A huge part of her success she owes to Annie, who she saves from homelessness, along with her daughter Sarah Jane. Annie is not only Lora\'s maid, she becomes a substitute mom (mammy) for Lora\'s daughter Suzie. What working mom today hasn\'t had some guilt when it comes to handling work and home life? And this was in the 1950\'s when most white women were probably expected to get married rather than work. But the main reason to watch this movie is for the relationship between Annie and Sarah Jane. Yes, Annie is a bit too good to be true (like Melanie in Gone with the Wind). She tries her darndest to give Sarah Jane a good life, but wants Sarah Jane to accept that she \'s black. And back then, this meant being "lesser than"-- having to go through back doors, etc. Sarah Jane does everything she can to not accept this fate, including rejecting her mother. Even as a child Sarah Jane rejects all things black, including a doll Suzie gives her. "Why do I have to have the black one?" And "Why do we always have to live in the back?" she wails. Anyone who thinks this is not true to life is in denial. Consider studies that have been done that show little black girls rejecting darker-skinned dolls and images--even today! Some of the best scenes in the film are between Lora and Annie. Lora is so self-centered she doesn\'t see her maid as a unique individual. Her problems aren\'t as "real" as her own with Suzie, for example. The scene after Annie rubs Lora\'s feet was the first time they had any real conversation about Annie\'s life and she discovers Annie has friends, is a member of several lodges, and a member of the church. Lora says it never occurred to her that she had any friends and Annie responds "Miss Lora, you never asked!" Classic! And as a black female I can honestly say that Susan Kohner\'s portrayal of Sarah Jane is spot on. The scene when she "acts black" in front of Lora with a tray on her head was priceless--she certainly deserved her Oscar nomination for this role. This movie has so many layers but is fun to watch in all its soapy glory, and if you don\'t tear up a little at the end, then perhaps you aren\'t really paying attention.
