Gone With the Wind Review

             In 1939 Gone With the wind  a drama was published the first in color directed by Victor Fleming staringVivien Leigh and Clark Gable. On a 5 star scale for Gone With the Wind it gets a well deserved 3 stars.In my personal opinion Movies that have such a slow progresion aren't as good as others that have a normal pace. Also it has characters practacaly pointless that aren't their to help they are just annoying such as prissy. On the brighter side it has a good plot and a good story just they dragged it on too dang long.

              Now the movie is about a high society rich girl named Scarlet O'Hara who lives in the south right before the Civil War while she chases after her love Ashley Wilkes who does not love her and is married to some one else. Al the men are happy because there probly be a war and scarlet is sick of it.During the planning for the war shady fellow named Rhett Butler shows up and wants Scarlette. Then after that it shows the strugles of the civil war for Scarlette, Melony, Ashley, the whole south, and then all the struggles for everyone afterwards to improve. Eventually Scarlette marries twice for money and Rhett Buttler is the second husband. They have a kid and ashley decides to leave with the child and comes back. Mel gets sick and Scarlette realizes that Ashley will never love her and she loves Rhett and he leaves.
    The movie contains common quotes such as
  •      "tommorows another day" from Scarlet
  •      "Frankly dear I do not give a damn" from Rhett
The Director also has a few messages that the movie has and  I interpret as war is destructive and so is the aftermath of it, and even in bad times you should make the best of it. The overall message i think was good wich at least I think is it is never too late is a good one... just not the film wich was about a hour and a half too late for the ending. So a review is that the movie gets 2 stars and thats it

  1. Great. I like your personal voice and style. For such a long film, I would like more detail and reflection. Work on a memorable closing.
    Thanks,
