If I recall correctly from the movie, The Blessed Mother came to him after his first fall. At least that would be consistent with the Stations of the Cross (the Fourth Station, Jesus falls for the first time, followed by the Fifth Station, Jesus meets His Mother).

What touches me the most about that shot is the body language: Mary's left arm is raised up, muscles tense, palm facing the Roman soldiers in a plea for them to stop. Her right hand is grasping Jesus' cloak (notice her right thumb is underneath the fabric).
