Heh, yeah, good description of that moment. I basically agree with the other specific things you mentioned, David L, they seemed kind of forced. My overall opinion in this case is that the performances and the main aspects of the family's story are very, very strong, so a few things here and there that I didn't go for ended up having only a minor effect on how much I got out of the movie, emotion-wise. As opposed to something like Cold Mountain, which I liked, and where I didn't see anything in particular that made me think, "that's kind of lame, why is that in there," but the overall impact wasn't as strong. All IMO, of course.
