Some thoughts on books and movies and the ties that bind
Dagny has a rule, she won't see the movie unless she's read the book. There are times when Dagny won't watch movies of favorite books because she doesn't want a bad movie to ruin her memories of the book. Dagny just finished reading Gone With The Wind and then watched the movie for the first time. I don't think she was disappointed in either one. It was such pleasure to watch it with her, I loved seeing her reaction and listening to her opinions. I have seen the movie, and read the book, countless times. It was a part of my childhood, and now it's part of hers. I love that Dagny appreciates good literature and classic movies, she's awesome like that.
Gone With the Wind is one of my most favorite books and movies of all time. I am glad that she enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAnd now she understands where the names for Uncle Ashley and Aunt Melanie came from.
ReplyDeleteDagny has great taste! I have always loved both the book and movie too. Has she checked out "To Kill Mockingbird?" I really love both of them too . . especially with Gregory Peck?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love to read as well...but as of late I have had little time to do so for pleasure. It is fun to keep that passion alive through Dagny and the reads she shares with us! I hope my girls will love reading as much as I do so that we can have these experiences some day!
ReplyDelete'To Kill A Mockingbird' is on her reading list. Right now she is working her way through Steinbeck, that may take awhile.
