Random scene

[mystical_chickn]

Okay I seriously have no idea if this is from a book, TV show, or movie (although I'm leaning toward one of the latter two) but I suddenly got a random scene playing in my head: basically a person (girl/woman I think?) is slowly walking into a lake/pond and drowns herself. In my head she's wearing a long white gown, so I think it was from some

Ophelia in Hamlet?

[mystical_chickn]

I don't think I ever saw/read Hamlet, although I might have seen a clip/trailer from a movie of it if there was one. Gonna put this one in the "maybe" pile.

The tragic figure of a woman drowning herself is pretty common in fiction, but could it be the character of Blanche in Possession?

[mystical_chickn]

Never saw that one, sorry!

There's no long white gown involved, but Virginia Woolf in The Hours?

[mystical_chickn]

Ah, nope, sorry, didn't see it.

*gasp* YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE HOURS?! It's an insanely brilliant film and I can't recommend it highly enough.

It's been a long time since I've read it, but the main character drowns herself at the end of the book The Awakening. Idk if there've been any film adaptations of it, though.

I can't believe I recall this, but maybe it's the Shania Twain music video for Still The One?

What year did that come out? I did go through a six-month mainstream-country phase in like 1995.
