Scarlett being the spoiled brat that she is dosen't realize how much she loves her husband until he has given up on all hope of them living a happy life together. You see, Scarlett had only one thing in mind, loving a man she could not have. He (Ashley Wilkes)was married and very much in love with his wife. Scarlett did eveything she could to manipulate this Ashley into leaving his wife (Melanie). Melanie is Scarlett's best friend and the wife of her long lost love.

Not only is this story about forbidden love but, it also shows the harshness and the bitterness of the Civil War. It shows us how bad it really was. We wouldn't know about the harshness of it but, to only read about it in books. If you are a romantic and a lover of American History this movie is a good buy for you.
Rating: Summary: It sends chills down you spine Review: This movie great, just great. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable star in what is perhaps the most American of American classic films. This movie is a gripping war dramma that tells the story of Katherine Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy Butler! It shows how the Civil War drastically changed the lives of once wealthy, dominant people. This wonderful movie includes some of the most famous lines ever spoken on film including: "As God as my witness, I'll never be hungry again!" "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." "After all, tomorow is another day." Max Steiner's score fits perfectly with the emotions expressed in the film and sends chills down your spine. Gone With the Wind also has one of the most meorable romances ever to touch the elusive face of the silver screen--Rhett and Scarlett. Winning award for Best Actress-Vivien Leigh Best Supporting Actress-Hattie McDaniel Best Director-Victor Flemming Best Picture-GONE WITH THE WIND and more, this film truly is great.
Rating: Summary: If I Could Only See One Movie Ever Again, This Would Be It Review: Gone With the Wind, simply put, is my favorite movie I have ever seen. From the first scene with Scarlett, absolutely brilliantly played by Vivien Leigh, on the porch of her magnificent plantation Tara, to the final moment in the film when she decides to go home, followed by her return to the plantation, I am filled by a feeling that I am scarcely able to describe. First of all, the performances are almost all, without a doubt, perhaps the most wonderful of all time. It's as though all the great talent of Hollywood in the 1930's was ensembled together and put in this incredible film. Vivien Leigh, (an Englishwoman mind you) portrays to perfection the role of the narcissistic, spoiled, and self-centered Scarlett O'Hara. Clark Gable was perfectly cast as the gentlemanly, yet quasi-ignoble Rhett Butler, as Amazon says one of the most "manly" performances ever. Olivia de Havilland shines as the naive, and sometimes overly-trusting "good-doer", who sees beyond (sometimes when she shouldn't) Scarlett's self-concerned personality. Leslie Howard as the timid and weak Ashley, just another excellent performance. And Hattie McDaniel, who playes Scarlett's "Mamie", also an incredible actress, also the first African-American to win an Academy Award. The movie is an incredible achievement in every other area too: from a brilliantly written script (written by many screenwriters) filled with memorable lines that are constantly quoted, such as "I'll think about that tomorrow", "Fiddle-dee-dee" and others; to a beautiful film with some of the best cinematography I've seen to date. The story itself is compelling, and it is relevant to every aspect of modern day life, even though takes place in a time period "which you will only read about in books". By the way, if you're a guy reading this and you're concerned that this is too much of a "chick flick", as I've known many fellow men to say, just think about the movie's universal themes, the determination, the sense of pride, the horrible effects of racism, the feelings of love for home, etc. If Gone With the Wind is a "chick flick", then The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep are "guy movies". In sum, I can honestly say that my life has been changed by repeated viewings of this great piece of cinematic art.
Rating: Summary: A Timeless Classic Review: This movie, originally made in 1939, transcends time. Vivien Leigh, an English actress, gave a convincing portrayal of Scarlett O'Hara. Clark Gable's Rhet Butler became his trademark. Olivia de Havilland gave a wonderful preformance as Melanie who actually has more strength and determination than Scarlett gives her credit for. In my opinion, Leslie Howard was the only bad spot in the film. He was a good actor and brought the role to life, but, to me, his character was much more wishy-washy and pathetic than Melanie's ever dreamed about being. Basically, this film is about a spoiled child, which has gotten everything handed to her on a silver platter all her life, who has to wake up aand face reality in a very troublesome time. She fights and claws her way to money and power and never gives up. In the words of Rhett while Scarlett is voicing her fears of the Yankees, I'd pity any Yankee who ever came across her!

Rating: Summary: A marvel both in the movie and novel Review: When I first saw Gone with the wind, I was so moved that I wanted to see it again immediately. Scarlett's will and strength made a very deep impression on me. Now I have seen this movie for four times. All on VHS tape. Appearantly,it only tells a story between a daughter of a rich southern platation owner and ... we clearly see the selfishness, coldness and cruelty at the war time and different kinds of people. Those all reflect the concept at that time and the valid lifes of each classes. Essentially, it was truely about the differences between the South and the North in style of life, economic development, opinions and so on. Vievien Leigh, has been a very amazing and wonderful actress in this movie. She made a vivid and colorful Scarlett. The expression on her face tells us Scarlett's selfishness and pride very clearly. I am so deeply moved by that splot-when Scarlett arrived home with Melanie and her baby. There had been nothing left, but she vowed to the sky and said that she would never suffer starvation again-that I nearly teared. Gone with the wind is a marvel.
Rating: Summary: A CLASSIC THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME Review: APART THE BEAUTY OF THE ACTORS, OF THE SET, OF THE COSTUMS ; WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS THE RELATIONSHIP SHOWN BETWEEN THE 2 MAIN CARACTERS (GABLE & LEIGH) : WHY BECAUSE 50 YEARS AGO OR NOW ALMOST EVERY ONE CAN RELATE TO IT ; ALMOST EVERY ONE HAD A RELATION WITH SOME ONE LIKE THIS : THEY LOVE, THEY HATE EACH OTHER ; AFTER ALL ISN'T THAT WHAT LOVE IS ABOUT ? THE BEST MOVIE EVER
Rating: Summary: moving film Review: I've seen this film for more than three times. When I was in Beijing University in China, I went to the university theater to see this film about eight years ago with one of my roommates. I was quite moved by the film, so was my roommate. I love this film, and I want to review it....
