Wonder Woman 1984 Director Reveals One Emotional Scene Makes Her Cry

Patty Jenkins revealed that one scene in Wonder Woman 1984 made her cry. The movie is set to be released on Christmas day on HBO Max. Ahead of the release, Jenkins and star Gal Gadot have been making the rounds to promote the film. Gadot has long felt emotionally connected to Diana Prince and has talked about how the Wonder Woman films are a highly personal experience for her and Jenkins.

Ahead of the film's release, Wonder Woman 1984 reviews praise the film as a heartfelt follow-up to 2017's original. Even with the film's complicated release plan, including a delayed rollout on PVOD where HBO Max isn't available and where the film can't hit theaters, anticipation is high. The film needs to make a lot of money to make up for the box office loss it will face at the hands of the pandemic, but Jenkins' recent comments reveal that that may not matter.

In conversation with CinemaBlendJenkins discussed one particular scene that made her very emotional. Her interviewer brought it up, much to Jenkins' surprise. The scene is discussed out of context so as to minimize spoilers. The scene, fittingly set during Christmas time, features Gadot's family as well as Jenkins' son. Jenkins says that the scene reminds her of why she makes these films and that it was a very poignant moment for her to see the scene on screen.

"It was so poignant. It makes me cry when I see it because of what the scene’s about. And then to see our own children… we go on this journey making these films ourselves. Where we are like, ‘What is it really all about, what does it really matter?’ So to see bring it all home for her, and her eyes looking at these beautiful children that are actually hers? It’s just such a special [moment]."

Early reactions before the review embargo promised an emotional film, and it sounds like Jenkins and Gadot did not disappoint. Their personal connection to the Wonder Woman films has been frequently discussed, and it sounds like the pair take this a step further with this particular scene. The fact that it takes place during Christmas is another bit of serendipity that the original release date would've lost out on.

Wonder Woman 1984 sounds like it is shaping up to be a very emotional movie overall. With Diana still dealing with the loss of Steve Trevor and the character's mysterious return, she will have a lot to overcome. Gadot has said that the film finds the character at a time in her life when Diana is extremely lonely, highlighting both the loss she suffered in the first film and Diana's overall emotional state in relation to the rest of the world. It sounds like this particular scene in Wonder Woman 1984 will be particularly heart wrenching.
