ohsnapiam59 Same. I detest the racism but I like class and civility of the people.

Lol ew

How can a person who owns another human being be considered civil or classy? I think you may mean that you favor the greater formality of etiquette which prevailed in the past.

The way this movie portrays slavery and the Deep South is problematic BUT don't that reason, it should be shown and analyzed. And its still a classic.

ChristineTheHippie I agree. For similar reasons I've advocated adding context to Confederate statuary. You want to keep your bronze General Lee? Fine. But put an equally large statue depicting enslaved people and Jim Crow era lynching to show what Lee fought for and why his statue was erected.

Meaning, with enough money you can do without a reputation.

zatzme100 “With enough courage, you can do without a reputation” Hehe Oh you do talk scandalous! I love that comment!

I always thought he said "with THAT courage you can do without a reputation "

Sums Rhett up

she and Rhett are capitalists born into a parochial and semi-feudal society. They don't belong to the South and its plantation/slavery based society.

I wish this movie take place in the north. I wonder how to movie would go if this take place in the north?

she's like me a true bitch never let people run over top of women them days are over..

@@C.V.20 What an interesting thought. It would be nice to see a similar tale as Gone with the Wind but one that takes place on the other side of the Civil War battle lines.

@@melissar593 I think "South and North" covers that pretty well

That is sad and beautiful.

Of course Sir Patrick would later go on to many different roles, one of which we've come to know and deeply love... Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation Starships U. S. S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D,and then 1701-E

I knew this before Patrick told the story to Conan O Brien. Vivien apparently sobbed, one of the things she said was "My Dear Hattie", referring to the Mammy actress. We'd also lose Leigh herself a few years later.

Oh how mad I was with her. She couldn't stop acting so spoiled. She couldn't see his love, only build dreams about a man she never knew. Only her image of him.

@@EmmelineSama A love like this can't be found easily.You are right.

Ghaida H The uniforms!

Yaaaaaaaassssss

@@Aishiya1 I LOVE Cicil War Era clothing! And I learned the same dance Scarlett dances woth Rhett as a youngster. I would LOVE dancing that again...it really is fun!!

Sorry, it'sss "I LOVE Civil War Era Clothing. And if you've never danced it, the Virginia Reel is fun!

Yes the dresses 👗 are so beautiful

'Don't you dare faint!' 😂😂

Aunt Pittypat is even funnier in the book. I love how she's always shocked by the smallest things.

I think Miss Scarlett enjoyed the Virginia reel more. Much more suited to her absolute Delight at being able to dance again AND being able to thumb her nose at Old School Atlanta. And all for a good cause.

Which unfortunately very few, if any, possess even an ounce of today.

I agree, If Ashley and Scarlett had actually gotten together I don't think it would have lasted, Scarlett would have become bored very quickly and Ashley would soon realize they had actually nothing in common at all, their personalities were just too different.

Yes Ashley loved Melanie. They were the same type of people. Scarlett needed a strong ambitious man.

Well yes he said that to Scarlett

@@equine2020Ashley was a strong man, but he was also a gentleman and so did not shove his beliefs down people’s throats. He and Melanie had a solid loving relationship. I think Rhett could see and understand the love Melanie and Rhett had because he could see their common values and interests. Scarlett did not understand the abiding love of a husband and wife that grows beyond romantic love.

@@brontewcat Ashley was a weak man. He relied on Scarlett to care for him, & Melanie. He a Southern gentlemen who never knew reality. Melanie was also a person who didn't know reality. They were dreamers. Scarlett & Rhett knew how reality was. They knew how to survive. If Ashley was a strong man, he wouldn't have relied on Scarlett.

Yes, Melly was VERY important. A gentle soul, so very sweet and kind, and smart too.

I love wear my blue jeans

He deserved an Oscar for his role.

Exactly, he was determined person-made up his mind at the end that he was Done.

@@teribradshaw-milling3164 maybe. I like the way it ended. If she pursued him or not . If they reunited or not. Both would never forget the other for the entire rest of their lives. After all, tomorrow is another day.

Especially too, as the book was a sensational bestseller. I read it about once a year. It's so much richer than the movie, but having the movie images of the characters in your mind certainly makes the experience.

​@@martha-anastasia Never read it myself, but having watched the movie, it seems to borrow many elements from War and Peace. Almost like an American version.

Some protocols are better broken.

@@ladyv5655 agreed

Because she was too stupid to realize she loved him all long and not Ashley... sigh, as much as I love Scarlet for being strong and courageous, as much as I hate the way she tortured Rhett till she drove him away...

+C. Natureluver Too little, too late. When he could have had just about any woman he wanted in Georgia and the entire Southern states, Rhett doggedly pursued only her, and after spending the entire movie calling Scarlett out on her bullshit while trying to get her to love him back, Rhett by that time had had enough and too much irreversible damage had been done so he got sick of Scarlett and kicked her to the curb....

in the novel Belle Watling and the women of her brothel were a oasis for Rhett during his marriage.His adultery to Scarlett was never mentioned in the movie. He financed the whorehouse.

C. Natureluver He never said that to her in the book.

That's where the movie was unfair to Scarlett, making Rhett (who is awesome and I love him) too much "the good guy" because Rhett never told Scarlett he wanted her to love him, never admitted vulnerability or weakness until it was too late. Rhett always insisted to Scarlett that he wanted only her body and that he didn't love her. In the end, he admits, when she reveals that she wanted to tell him earlier how she wanted him, that "It seems we have been at cross-purposes then." In any case, he felt it was too late. But yes, if only she had realised she loved him, and if only he had given her somehow the chance to admit that, though it's understandable that he'd fear she'd use that knowledge against him, as manipulative as she could be. It's also wrong where someone in this thread said that Rhett could have any of the Southern women he wanted. He was not considered eligible (made more obvious in the book) and no decent family received him, despite his "contribution to the cause", which was actually just profiteering. None of this was played up in the movie as much as in the book, how he was a rogue and a scoundrel. But sexy. He could, however, have had a Northern woman ... but not while pretending to help the South.

YrsaSH mine as well Scarlett O'Herra inspired me as a young child today at 33 I'm the bitch she was back then...

She did her growing up in SCARLETT

PrincessA it is not official sequel

They end up together in the sequel

- anne I agree with you

The soap opera "One Life to Live" used many elements of these two characters in 1994-1995 for Todd and Blair Manning.

yes!!! love it ♥

Rubbish. If you take the trouble to actually watch the scene you can clearly see him dancing - without the aid of any contraption. Don't believe everything you read.

Not in every shot, look at the close-ups. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Gable fan, not his fault. That style of dancing harder than it looks.

Maximuscaligula If he could do it some shots he could do it in all. For close ups it is common practice to place actors on turntables or something similar. It is for the ease of shooting i.e. for the benefit of the cameraman - not because the actor can't dance. You could just as easily say that Vivien Leigh couldn't dance. In fact she was an excellent dancer.

+Mike Williams I think they said in the documentary that Gable really couldn't dance. But I think they also said that "turntable" made it even more difficult and that they were all on it, not just Leigh&Gable.

The had a dubble dancer for scarlet I heard but go's to show you can't believe everything you read or hear

O god im in love eith that line ''What do you want''

It's very soft on the reality of slavery. However, the book, at least, is meticulous on detail of events of the war, and the attitudes of the rich, white Southerners.

I've read a lot about GWTW and I have never read this about a dance double anywhere.

​@@lemorab1 Rhett's is visible a couple of times, if you slow down the video. They also used a rocking platform to simulate dancing.

agreed.

You can. You just need to go to the right kind of dance.

Lisa I have to be entirely fair with you I cannot help but admit that Rhett was entirely correct when he said that the system of Mourning used at the time was as barbarous as the Hindu Suttee! The part that I speak of is not in the movie, but in the book. And I think Rhett did the right thing getting Scarlett that nice hat from Paris. If only Captain Butler had gotten her some nice green silk for a nice dress to match the hat! Green is definitely Katie Scarlett O'Hara's best color. Perfect match for her eyes.

@@mikegallant811 Rhett was correct to get Scarlet out of mourning so fast agreed. She was only a teenager, full of life. But had the war not upset so many social norms of that era it never would have been allowed. Scarlett would have been shunned from polite society the same as Rhett was already not received by them. I loved how Rhett changed his attitude and actually cultivated the society of the Gentlewomen after Bonnie was born to try to secure her future. He still despised them but saw the necessity for Bonnie’s sake. Scarlet on the other hand was pig headed and burned her bridges after she crossed them. Had it not been for Melonie, Scarlet would have been turfed from polite society when she started running that lumber mill in Atlanta.

AS LONG AS YOU WAIT THE "YEAR OF RESPECT"

The portrayal of enslaved people in this movie is rather one-dimensional and tends to support the inaccurate view of slavery as benign. Even Mammy is depicted as having no internal life of her own. She is presented as existing only for others. That said, Hattie McDaniel did give a splendid performance that made the most of the constraints of the role. McDaniel responded to those who questioned her willingness to portray stereotypes by saying she would rather portray a maid in a movie than work as a maid in real life.

@@MaggyShannon But the movie isn't about her.

Castiels Vessal --- seriously, right??!! What a handsome man he was!!!!

I know

Oh costumes are the reason this movie would never get made today? Not the way that blacks are portrayed as happy to serve whites, and how noble and genteel the Old South is portrayed here?

rodneywashington51 actually its Dolly Merriwether.

I have been laughing since yesterday about “darling merriweather” 😂 although I knew it was dolly I remember when I was younger and she ran after her dad in the horse I would always make fun of the sound she made. Years later I realized she was saying, “so, proud of yourself you are?” 😂

Well, at least we can say that parents have always been giving their children inane names
