I am a teenager and first saw this film when I was just seven years old. I fell in love with it, and ever since it has been my favorite film!! When I saw it, I loved the rawness and pureness of the film and connected to the dreams Velvet Brown had. I grew up wondering who the young girl was, only knowing she was the girl in "National Velvet," to my sadness Elizabeth Taylor passed away last year, but her beauty and elegance will never be forgotten.
National Velvet, is a story that will touch your heart, and make anyone at any age feel the emotions given through each performance. This is not just a horse movie, but a film about the love and drive of a young girl that changes views of those around her. While this film would not be first pick for someone my age in my generation or even the younger one, it is a classic film that I hope my children will enjoy as I have.
I really hope future generations look back on these films and realize the beauty in them and how they remain treasures to those that love film.
