I just watched Gone With The Wind and wow, this is one movie that timelessly never fails to disappoint, no matter how many times I’ve previously seen it. Perhaps my favorite scene comes right at the end: Scarlett is in ruins after both her daughter and her closest friend have died and the love of her life, Red,  has finally decided that he wants absolutely nothing to do with her, famously expressing “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Life has never been so bleak or so painful, and she has no one to blame except herself.

But she is Scarlett O’Hara and even in the face of such calamity when most would crumble, when she is crumbling, she finds the fortitude to courageously and optimistically respond “Afterall. Tomorrow is another day.”

Poignant and epic. I love cinema.
