Frankly, my dear, I can't fucking believe I wasted almost 4 hours of my life watching pro-Confederacy revisionist propaganda. Nor can I believe that, even during the height of Segregation, it was lauded by critics and was nominated for and won an unprecedented number of Academy Awards. Americans are so forgiving of white supremacy when it comes from within our own borders, it just makes me want to vomit.
And like, okay, if this were a technically brilliant film with a fantastic script and a director and cast that knocked it out of the park but also super racist and manipulative, this would be an entirely different conversation. But it's not! It's a bloated melodrama with basically zero redeeming qualities,…
-1 star due to its racist and sexist content❤
that's enough activism for today i think
Exceptionally well crafted and laden with characters so fleshed out I half expected them to step out from the big screen into my living room at any minute!
The cinematography and iconic shots such as Rhett Butler standing at the foot of the grand staircase gazing up at Scarlet O'Hara with a come hither look that could melt even the coldest of hearts and cause all the ladies to sigh and go weak in the knees!
Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) met is match when he crossed paths with Scarlett O'Hara ( Vivien Leigh)! Their tale of love, passion and heartache will go down in the annals of history as one of the greatest romances in cinematic history!
The film is…
In many ways, one could call Gone with the Wind dated. I tried my best to not view this with my modern lens, and I think I understood the movie more with that. It tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh), an emotionally complex, somewhat self-centered, somewhat spoiled yet brilliant heroine. She goes through a lot in the film. We see her as she is pushed around, argued over, in conflict, battling emotion, figuring out who she needs and loves, and trying to understand the time period and events surrounding her. She’s honestly a really interesting character to see unfold as she clearly symbolizes a woman of the time in the South. We also see Rhett Butler (Clark Gable)…
Four hours! Four fucking hours! And even after that you don't get a proper conclusion! A colossal disappointment by all means, Gone with the Wind is one never ending soap opera filled with characters you never grow to care about, iconic dialogues that look better on paper, and other than its technically accomplished production, there's nothing memorable about this sappy & overlong melodrama.
Set in the American South during Civil War, the story follows a young, spoiled woman who claws her way out of war, poverty & other misfortunes yet has a weakness for a man who never returned her love. Things take an interesting turn when a roguish fellow takes an interest in her after which the two conduct their turbulent…
At the risk of sounding corny, I can confidently say that this film reminded my why I fell in love with cinema in the first place. What an incredible mix of spectacle, romance, and some of the best-written characters I've ever seen on film.
I've put off seeing "Gone with the Wind" for a long time now. Up until now I always pictured it being just another boring old movie that I'll HAVE to see at some point, but won't actually end up enjoying. I know, I know, feel free to send your hate in the comments, I fully deserve it. Because holy shit, was I blown away. At no point throughout this entire 3.5 hour runtime was I bored.…
(The Average Joe’s Movie Club Cast)
Scarlett O'Hara may just be one of the most bratty, determined, stubborn, ruthless, good-hearted, and stunningly beautiful characters of all time ... and I still find her so charming.
"Rhett, Rhett... Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do? ... Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
I had always thought the romanticization of the land of the old south was more of a thematic undertone here, but nope is definitely the film's throughline. Plus it is much more of an epic romance set against the war, compared to being the definitive Civil War film.

**Part of the Best Picture**
Few films, if any, accomplish technical excellence, and it’s not hard to see why. Many films, even good ones, have some flaws that keep them from perfection. So it really amazes me that a film like Gone with the Wind with the production history it had managed to be just so damn perfect. There isn’t a thing wrong with it. It is a master class lesson in nearly everything that makes up cinema, and what amazes me even more is how the sheer epic nature of the film holds up even today.
Until this watch, I had not seen Gone with The Wind since I was very young, and my grandmother took me to see…
