A young girl moves out from Virginia to live with her cousin at Sweet Waters. She finds out that where she is heading, it is the Land of the Winds and that the wind there always blows and the sand is carried away with it. This wind is so vicious that people tend to loose their minds by it. Its ferocity "blows" away peoples' logic and they sleigh day by day into insanity, and this applies specially to women. Lillian Gish, who plays the young girl Letty, is a great actress who can really feel her part. She has such a great performance in this film that you can't help but bond with the young girl and you can really understand how she feels in every situation in the film. Her performance is just brilliant. Lars Hanson is the lead male actor and he too has a great performance that can stand beside hers. All the other cast was good as well. The director Victor Sjöström has done an excellent work with this film. I really wish I could somehow see the original ending of this film as well. In my opinion, this film is really brilliant. Never forget what the people went trough in those times to create such magnificent films.
