Film Fridays: Gone With The Wind

Today is Saturday, and actually the end of Saturday, but it could not wait. This being said, I actually could have done this yesterday (on Friday) but I decided to not fulfill my responsibilities, as per ushe. Before I start with anything, I would like to confess that I had never in my life watched Gone With The Wind , and I watched it for the first time on Thursday and speechless.

I mean speechless in the sense that I sat for about 5 minutes after the movie had finished just staring blankly at nothing. Those ten minutes were then followed by a 30 second crying session after which I decided that anything that I have ever fought for in my life is not half as worthy as what others fight for.

In my opinion, good films have a few key characteristics. I came up with these out of my own head so, give me credit for that.

1. Good films can move you to feel the most intense form of whatever emotion you are experiencing at the time, and this may only be temporary but it happens. 
2. Good films inspire a certain willingness in you to do something. You're inspired to change something about yourself or to change something about something else.
3. Good films are easy to understand, or extremely complex, I do not think that there is an in between. A bit of both, maybe, but never an in between.
4. Good films make you experience some form of internal conflict about the issues or themes that are brought up in the film

These are just some opinions of my own because it is my blog so I can voice my opinions about the things that I like. Gone With The Wind had every single one of these characteristics and more, like hundreds and thousands more. 

I would also like to confess that I Clarke Gable is the love of my existence and he was not only the ideal man, but possibly the the ideal human being. Actually, I do not know what he was like in person, but as a character he is extremely likable because he portrayed a real human, with real human emotions going through real human strife. So I guess this is more about the character but same difference. 

I don't think that I have actually said that much about the film but the general idea is that it is amazing and it will leave you feeling things... lots and lots of things (most of which are feels).

That's All, Bye! :)
