Gone With The Wind is my favourite movie. She should've done a program on that instead of plane hitting tower mid skate.To me, Medvedeva’s program replayed the famous scene from Gone With The Wind (1939 movie). All the young men were off in distant places fighting the U.S. Civil War, and every day at a certain hour the ladies, old people and children would huddle around the telegraph office to receive the news of who had lost his life that day and who had been spared for tomorrow. (“Tomorrow is another day” was the author’s original working title for the novel).
Not that any of this was in the minds of Evgenia's coaches and choreographers, but I do think that it is sort of a universal theme, struggling forward through this vale of tears, etc. Of course a competitive figure skating program is not a thousand page novel or a four hour movie. A well-turned triple Lutz must stand in for 900 pages or so.
