About Scarlet O' Hara & more importantly Rhett Butler...

just saw the movie today...ya without reading the book (i know its a sin yet couldnt much help it)...have read half the book but somehow time wasnt ever so abundant that i could finish it...

the movie (as most who have read the book would say) can never do justice to stories like these...but i m so glad that they make it...nonetheless!

dont get much words to describe what it feels after the movie...somewhere within i can relate to Ms Scarlet o'Hara...arrogant...immature...strong willed...impossible...egotist. Mostly that desire to make it through life...no matter what goes wrong...not give up! Guess thats something that only Captain Butler (or maybe even melly) could have understood...so helplessly in love with her...that he was...in spite of himself.

i know this doesnt happen in real life...there isn't a Scarlet O' Hara...who can be what she wants to be and get away with that even... and neither is there a Captain Rhett Butler...to love her and keep her safe no matter what...even when she doesnt want him to...but stories such as these do ignite that streak of hope within...

there are so many instances in the movie when i cried out aloud...laughed...lived the story myself...being scarlet and (you might find it funny) also rhett butler for that matter...

movies like this make me believe that there is nothing like a perfect relationship...and thank god for that...perfectness scares me...thats just too pretentious to be true i think.
