I just finished watching Gone with the Wind at 6.38am.
*phew* It was almost 4 hours long. The gist of the movie?
The epic tale of a woman's life during one of the most tumultuous periods in America's history. From her young, innocent days on a feudalistic plantation to the war-torn streets of Atlanta; from her first love whom she has always desired to three husbands; from the utmost luxury to absolute starvation and poverty; from her innocence to her understanding and comprehension of life. - Luke C.
And my opinion? I loved it. I finally got to see Scarlett O'Hara. I didn't know who was playing the part, so I was quite surprised when I realised it was Vivien Leigh. She was Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. I was having mixed feelings after seeing Blanche. I mean, I knew she was very talented, but her role as Blanche somehow made it a bit difficult to really like her. Anyhow, after watching this, I truly admire her talent. The way I see it, you pretty much engage on a roller-coaster ride of like and dislike, love and hate for these two characters. I wonder if all her roles have been quite so dramatic. Maybe I'll try grabbing some more of her movies... :p
Anyway, if you haven't watched it and want my opinion, WATCH IT! :)
Oh... and in case you were wondering about the title of this post, it is from the last line of the movie. Scarlett says, "Tara! Home. I'll go home, and I'll think of some way to get him back! After all, tomorrow is another day!". I hope I didn't spoil the ending... hehehe :p
And watch out for: "Fiddle-dee-dee!" and "Great balls of fire!" if you do see the movie. :)
