The Mortal Storm1940

caught the mortal storm recently and it really got to me. it shows how quickly things can change when hate takes over. friends turn, families break, all in the name of ideology. james stewart is so real in it, calm, steady, and full of heart. and margaret sullavan is just beautiful to watch, so strong and moving without ever overdoing it. their scenes together feel honest, like two people holding on in a world falling apart. it’s quiet, powerful, and stayed with me long after it ended.
