Frankly my dear I don't give a hoot

Day 11 - A movie that disappointed you

Ah. Well. Too many to count.

Although, there is one movie I stupidly keep rewatching because I always think that this time I'll be swept away and love it just as much as everybody else does. And I always - always find it annoying and uninteresting. I mentioned it once before: It's Gone With the Wind.

I don't know why I can't cotton to it. Me who has no problems with slow pacing or melodrama or older movie effects, yet every time I watch GWTW I'm disappointed all over again. I already adored the actors when I first watched it (and it introduced me to Hattie McDaniel ♥ ), I love grand costumes, the cinematography is occasionally breathtaking, the music is grandiose... But I completely fail to connect with the characters. I even think Scarlett O'Hara is one of the most unsympathetic protagonists I've ever come across in film.

I'm always like, "Rhett, bro, I bet there are women all over town more
deserving of a moustache ride than that whiny O'Hara broad."

So I'm sorry fellow cinefantasts, I know I'm supposed to love it, but I can't.
