Gone With The Wind.

I watched 'Gone With The Wind' a few days ago with my mom for the first time. First of all, I had no idea that it was four hours long. Second of all, it was absolutely not worth those four hours. My mom roped me into watching it by saying I would love it because it's a chick flick and it's a classic and all that nonsense, but it was a lie! Chick flicks are when two people fall in love and then some type of conflict challenges their relationship but eventually brings them closer than ever. Like, love, happy ending. Boom boom boom. This movie was about some snobby rich girl that married a bunch of people she didn't love because the man she thought she loved was already married and then everyone dies. It was terrible. She got married to her first husband because she was angry that the man she loved was engaged, and then her husband died in battle. Then she loses everything during the civil war (she lived in the south) and she becomes really poor and starving and all the while she's taking care of the wife of the man she loves for some reason. And then she marries her sister's boyfriend because he's the only one with money. And then that man dies trying to defend her and she doesn't even care. And all the while there is Clark Gable pining for this girl and he actually loves her and so she agrees to marry him because he gives her back her luxurious lifestyle, and she still is in love with Ashley, the man from the beginning. And so then the girl has a daughter with Clark Gable and he adores his daughter and his wife, but realizes that his wife still loves Ashley and not him. So then he leaves for Paris with his daughter, and when he comes back he finds out that the girl is pregnant again with his child and he tells her something like he hopes she has an accident because he's still mad at her and then she falls down the stairs and the baby dies and she gets really sick. And then a while later he goes to apologize cause he feels really bad and their daughter then falls off her horse and breaks her neck and dies right in front of them. So after all this, the girl realizes that she is in fact in love with Clark Gable...and what does he do? He leaves her. After everything they had been through and they were so in love and struggled so much together, he freaking left her. I mean, I don't really blame him cause the woman is nuts and strung him along far too long, but still.
Like, I'm losing sleep over this stupid movie. I just can't stop thinking about how depressing it was. It was like four hours of never ending problems and death and broken hearts. I feel really bad for Clark Gable. I mean, he didn't even want to get married before he met the girl. He loved her that much that he changed his life plans and married her and had a daughter, and then he lost it all and was left with nothing, right back where he started. Except he was so screwed up afterwards because the girl basically sucked the life out of him. It was just really sad. He was such a good father. Things like that shouldn't happen to good fathers. or to anyone, really. Ugh, I just can't stop thinking about this stupid movie.
