Great Expectations

 I read Great Expectations in eighth grade and fell in love with the book. Then I saw the movie with Gwyneth Paltrow years later and although it didn't exactly follow the book, it was tragically beautiful. I watched it whenever possible and took note of Estella's fashion. I loved the use of green throughout to symbolize jealous and infatuation. His eyes, her dress.... Although she was rotten to the core during most of the movie, her style was effortless. It was after this movie that I wanted to own a long black duster. It's too bad that she makes it look sleek and I just looked like I wanted to be in the Matrix! The scene where they kiss in the rain gets me every time.
