Scarlett O' Whora

So this past weekend I went home to the county (like I previously mentioned) and I always hope to do homework, but never do and just have a lazy weekend. So last night instead of reading I watched TCM and scrolled upon Gone With the Wind. TCM is having a oscar movie month with all the movies that won some sort of Ocsar. I hadn’t seen the full movie since I was five. So I started watching it, thinking I’m only going to watch it for a little bit I end up watching the whole thing until 2 in the morning. I know this probably sounds lame, but I really enjoyed the movie this time since I fully understood it unlike when I was 5 and didn’t notice the little details that really make the movie. I loved the independent Scarlet when before I thought she was just an idiot. I’m not going to tell every detail that I enjoyed because there is a lot, but it got me thinking about other movies I saw when I was little that I didn’t understand. Like Jenny from Forrest Gump, I liked her a lot but re-watching I see she’s a coke hoe and wondered how it took me so long to recognize. I guess my point is that when we’re young we don’t understand the things that aren’t said.

  1. I feel the same exact way! I watched Gone With the Wind once when I was younger and didn't understand a thing and I hated that I had to sit there for such a long time! I have yet to watch it again but when I get the chance I would definitely like to watch re-watch and fully grasp all of the little details from the movie.
