A long watch...

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2016)

One of the longest movies I have watched. It was like diving into another world or a lot similar to time traveling. If you are not a fan of long duration movies like me, it will be very difficult to finish in one sitting. And the background music that never seems to stop makes it barely tolerable. But the annoying need of 'to know how it ends' kept me going and in one sitting! Now thinking back I'm glad that I did so. Even though the story description says about a girl so spoiled I see it differently. Maybe because I belong to the twenty first century where we witness much worse levels of "spoiledness". A girl with limited span of experience trying to survive and thrive in the physical and emotional conflicts that follow afterwards in the best way she thinks she is capable of. Nevertheless the character Scarlett; the protagonist is not easy to like or to approve. Yet she is interesting to observe and comical in more than one occasion. The gorgeous Viviane Leigh portrays her perfectly. And in the end she comes to a stage where anyone will come after such a hard journey disregard of the defeat or the victory that they might experience. It's a wonderful story yet we are so accustomed to everything fast delivered it's prone to get boring and tempting to walk away. For someone who's gifted with patience and abundance time at their hand this is a must watch movie because it'll be gone with the wind... Have an enjoyable movie time!!
