Old movies

[potioncat]

I've had a few days to myself and have used the opportunity to order 
movies just for me. I just saw "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." All I 
can say is that I wish I'd seen it when I was younger and less 
conservative. But there's some fantastic scenes, great acting.

It's hard not to think Harry Potter when you're watching a movie 
about a school with Maggie Smith. Wait, I wasn't watching it with 
Maggie Smith.

It's hard not to compare the two movies that have Maggie Smith 
portraying a teacher. (OK, that's better.) This one also takes place 
in Scotland.

I tell you, it was sort of like watching a young Minerva. The voice, 
the accent, the sharpness. Jean's 'behavior' doesn't comparte to 
Minerva's---but there were moments that were pure McGonagall.

I did truely lose it when one character announced that Miss Brodie 
made him believe in witches.

Sorry, just some late night rambling.
