Gone With the Wind

I don't know how I feel about this movie. I have mixed feelings, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I saw it last night.

I sometimes wanted to slap Scarlett O'Hara. I sometimes screamed at Rhett Butler to leave Scarlett. But then I start to cry when I think they aren't going to end up together. 

One minute I want them together, the next minute I think they are impossible together. 

It's hard not to hate Scarlett, but then I still wanted a happily ever after ending for her. How does that make any sense? I sometimes extremely disliked her, but I wanted her to end up with someone I didn't think she deserve? Crazy!

My emotions are mixed. I feel like since I invested 4 hours into this movie, it should end on a happy note, and all should be well. But at the same time, I am fascinated by the flaws of the characters, and how human they are.

I think I enjoyed it for the most part, and it's definitely different from the things I normally watch.
