So, I've finally decided to watch classic movies. I really never bothered to before because I had a feeling that they would be boring. I mean, they don't have the technology then and people were too romantic those days.
I started with "Gone With the Wind" because it is such a classic, I've been hearing about it since college (I was too "cool" when I was in high school, the only classic I heard about was MTV Classic). I saw the book but never got to read it because I am not really a sucker for novels.
After I watched the movie, I realized that classic movies are not that bad, they are adorable. So I decided to watch an older one, Casablanca. This one is in black-and-white, much older than Gone With the Wind. And boy, am I surprised! There was never a dull moment in that movie. All the lines were carefully thought of, they are very witty and the story itself is amazing. It is clean and yet, you could feel for the characters.
I am now hooked. I might look for Audrey Hepburn's movies, Marilyn Monroe's and whoever I find. If only the movie writers now are as clever, we would not need to hear the actors swear to get our attention.
