So the first time I heard about this movie was when I saw "Sex and the City 2" with my friend Anna. Carrie and Big watch this movie in bed and it looked pretty good. "It Happened One Night" is definitely a classic movie that everyone needs to see. It is funny, adventurous, and a great love story. It's perfect for a date night or to watch by yourself with chocolate covered pretzels like I did. That's a little sad? Anyway, this was such a great movie to watch and Clark Gable was as usual amazing. Of course with every old movie I've watched so far, the lead woman annoyed me at first. She was just so spoiled it made me cringe. Then as always she became a great leading lady towards the end. It was so funny that when Claudette Colbert showed her leg to get a car, the man immediately pulled over. This was so scandalous during this time and now it seems like nothing. This made me think about how sad our society has become. I long for the days when showing that much skin was scandalous and men made grand gestures of love. Men might have only made grand gestures in the movies but there is nothing more romantic to me then a man laying it all out on the line for the woman he loves. Which is what Gable did in order to get Colbert. I'm also a sucker for when a woman runs to her man in a movie. It's such a show of passion that always gets me. I don't believe that a woman needs a man, but I think its romantic that they feel so passionate for each other that they need to be together to survive. I don't think its a good idea that I am writing this while listening to Whitney Houston, it makes me feel in a loving mood. Not loving in that way, but in a longing for a man to make a grand gesture in proclaiming his love for me. When did it not become a trend to see the person you like or love and just flat out tell them how you feel. Lay it all on the line. I did this a week ago, through text which I am ashamed of, and I am somewhat happy that I laid it all on the line even though it didn't work. So my message to whoever is taking time to actually read this is 1) watch this movie and 2)lay it all out on the line because the worst that could happen is they say no which means they aren't the one for you. I am not listening to Adele, "One and Only" and these lyrics really solidify what it is I am trying to say. So if you believe what I am saying then listen to this song, or if you don't believe what I am saying then listen to this song and hopefully my hopeless romanticism will make sense.
