Never looking back and just carrying on

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2017)

Not the first time I saw this movie. Quite frankly, the movie didn't strike me at the first time as I was too young to understand the complex story setting and intriguing relationship between Rett, Scarlett, Ashley and Melania. This movie definitely requires a empathetic mind and some understanding of changes of life for one to fully appreciate. Vivien Leigh is perfect to bring out the stubbornness, strong-will, shrewdness and, needless to mention, gorgeous beauty of Scarlett. Her performance really lights up the whole movie. It's not just about romance in danger, but it's more about facing up to realities, never looking back and doing whatever it takes to carry on, which is the spirit I admire most.
I am surprised to see Gone With The Wind with only a rating of 8.2 on IMDb. Perhaps because the movie is a bit too old and a bit too long. Nevertheless, it's definitely the classic of the classics concerning romance, hope and strength. One of my favourite of all time.
