Since I am in the mood for classic movies...

This scene from For Whom the Bell Tolls always makes me cry. Always.

I am not a total Hemingway fangirl but I adore his For Whom the Bell Tolls so. When I had a teeny tiny shelf my freshman year of college and so could only have a few permanent books of my own (as opposed to library ones), it was one of the ones I picked. And the 1943 movie is such a perfect perfect adaptation. And Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman as pitch-perfect as Robert and Maria, just the way I have always imagined them. Apparently they got the seal of approval from Hemingway himself.

For some reason what really kills me is that in the context of the novel all that bravery and sacrifice was for nothing - Robert, Maria, the guerillas - historically they are on the losing side.

I always wonder what happened to Maria after the end of the novel.

Oh, and I still get shivers at the "No one has touched you. No one!" line.

They are ridiculously gorgeous.

With Jang Dong Gun:
