Day 07 – The most surprising plot twist or ending

The Red Shoes (1948)

This movie might actually tie into one of my favorite classic movies. Without giving anything away for those of you who have not seen it (Which I hope you all do), the ending left me entirely speechless and in tears. Such a beautifully shot movie with great performances and plenty of talent.
