Women in love and men toting guns, thats what movies are about and Gone With The Wind is no exception. Ive heard a lot of people say this was one of the most successful movies ever made, dont know, coulda been. Gone With The ...
Pros: Scarlett, Rhett and Mammy. Cons: Ashley and much of the supporting cast.
Herbert Scrawcrunch, that no good piece of poor white trash, seems to have returned from his trip to Tijuana. At least I can hear him and Doreen going at it hammer and tongs downstairs and that disgusting piece of corrugated tin that they call a...
Pros: Strong acting, great plot idea. Cons: A little longer than most audience will watch.
Since it's release in 1939 Gone with the Wind has been regarded as an American classic. Nearly everyone has heard of it, and know it's famous final line, but very few people have actually sat down for it's four hour run time to enjoy the entire picture....
Pros: great acting, beautiful production design, realistic customs, detailed screenplay, tight direction Cons: At four hours it could be boring to those who don't appreciate it
It's very rare that any medium of entertainment can give one an authentic, vivid sense of reality and life. All stories are about select moments of time and places in the characters' lives, but only the truly great ones are able to define their realities ...
Pros: A marvelous plot, unforgettable characters, great direction and a magnificent cast. Cons: Virulently racist, and why in the world did they cast Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes?
There has probably never been a movie as eagerly awaited as GWTW was in 1939, based as it was on one of the most popular books in contemporary American literature, and it was released to enormous hype. It was billed as the greatest epic of all time, ...
A film with three directors (one of whom suffered a nervous breakdown), thirteen writers, and continuous controversy surrounding it before and during filming: It may not sound like the recipe for the most successful film of all time, but it is. Gone ...
Pros: Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen, the usual star stuff, photography, musical score Cons: Just a little too much emoting for my taste, and shows racism with no apologies
Excellent sentiment for a country staggering out of a big depression, and one that must have hit home for at least some of the audience. While I toyed with the idea of a "Fiddle dee dee" or "Frankly my dear" title, in the end it is this statement, made...
Pros: A movie appealing to many tastes (e.g. romantic, adventure, history) Cons: None
I have a lot of memories of Gone With The Wind.
The first time I ever heard its familiar theme song was when it was also the theme song of a local TV program called The Early Show, which--to the best of my recollections--showed a...
Pros: The Acting of Gable, McDaniel, and (occasionally) Leigh Cons: Overrated, Long, Unlikable Characters, Plot
On the behind-the-scenes features for the film "Brazil," Terry Gilliam notes that when the studio executives called "Brazil" the "Movie of the Decade," he knew the film was in trouble. He says he knew they had no idea what it was about and they had to ...
Pros: Masterpiece of Southern and Civil War History Cons: Extreme Length
Probably everyone who is an adult has either heard of or seen the movie Gone with the Wind. Gone With the Wind is one of the greatest box office smashes of all time and will continue to be for decades to come.
Pros: Only the greatest movie ever made. Cons: It's not released into theaters nearly often enough.
This film gem excels from the first moment of pastel images of the past, to a moving, feeling musical score that cradles and caresses you throughout, to the final heartfelt dialogue of defeat with hope.
Pros: story, characters, costuming Cons: some content is racially charged
It is not hard to figure out where my interest in the movie Gone With the Wind came from. When I was a kid, my mother - who rarely watched television - would drop everything every time it came on in order to watch Scarlett and Rhett. I was too...
Only being 17 now, this movie came out years before I was born and my parents loved it so much that they decided to name me after the ever suave and charismatic Rhett Butler. And to this day, I'm still grateful that I was named after perhaps the best...
Pros: Southern Historical Film, A fabulous love story of love, war, and disaster. Cons: Length, TV edited some from the original film so I'm told.
If you have never seen or read Gone with the Wind it's time that you do. The filming of Gone with the Wind was completed December 11, 1939 after nearly three years in the makings. It premiered for the first time anywhere in Atlanta, Georgia on December...
