@@supixio6166 The first 3 times I saw GWTW it was on a big screen. It was amazing. On the first viewing I thought Scarlett was an awful person. The second time I thought she was sort of amusing, a selfish, hypocritical, spoiled brat. The third time I had lived a bit and I appreciated her strength, surviving and carrying everyone along with her. She is really quite an interesting creation. The movie is one of the best ever made. Great cast, great characters, superb photography and music , and a well written story. To those who want to bury it for political reasons, all I have to say is, get a life, and fiddle-dee-dee.🖕

@rosemaryallen21282 жыл бұрын
@@MW-ob8jm Disagree about the healthy attitude. It's an evasion tactic to avoid moral responsibility. In the name of survival, the woman sacrifices every principle she has been taught, which is why she ends up with nothing. Like Thackeray's Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair, she really has no emotional depth at all.
@recoveringintrovert7172 жыл бұрын
@@MW-ob8jm uh no. No it is not healthy to put off trauma and continue forward blindly. "Don't look back Ashley. It'll drag at your heart until you can't do anything but look back." She avoided looking back and processing, and never moved on from trying to get her life as a southern belle back. She was scared to death of being hungry again, even had night terrors of searching for something she couldn't find, running forward blindly in the mist, because she never dealt with her trauma and that's what makes her so tragic. "Tomorrow is another day" is such a sad line because she continues the cycle anew, chasing Rhett and the dream life she'll never have, always running forward without thought until she dies. Scarlett is determined, headstrong, and ambitious. Her ambition is what makes her great. But her envy for things she doesn't have and her inability to slow down her ambition, to see what she has instead of chasing ghosts, is what leads to her tragic fall. Scarlett is so complex and a wonderful character
@Juliet_Tobin Жыл бұрын
I'm with you, Augh Bable. Procrastination is a recurring theme in the novel. It's not just "She's a survivor who moves on and doesn't look back." Sometimes it's a strength; sometimes it's a failing. Particularly in the novel. Scarlett slowly comes to doubt whether Ashley is worth wasting SO much time and emotional energy upon but keeps pushing her doubts aside: "I'll think about it later . . . I'll think about it tomorrow." Arguably the same can be said for her attitude to Melanie which very slowly softens over time until she comes to realize Melanie is the best and only female friend she has.

Vivien Leigh had everything (she was a great actress on both stage and screen), two Oscars, a Tony, and she was as gorgeous as Elizabeth Taylor. What she DIDN'T have was good health: she was bi-polar, suffered from TB (which eventually killed her at the young age of 53 (when she was still gorgeous), and mental peace. She was greatly loved and for good reason.

Larry Mitchell Absolutely agree with you. Vivien Leigh was fabulous in GWTW. How she won the coveted Scarlett part is fascinating, a great story in itself. How she met David Selznick when the burning of Atlanta scene was being filmed before the actress for Scarlett had been chosen. In Selznick's biography he said he would never forget that moment of meeting Vivien Leigh. Yes, sad that Ms.Leigh had frail health and had some issues that came later during her career. This was before lithium. Someone mentioned that she gave Laurence Olivier "hell." If you've read about their relationship, that was kind of a two way street. lol VL was a very good, serious stage actress as well. I give her credit that even with her health issues, she worked in film and plays basically right up until her death. I remember how shocked I was to find out she had only made nineteen movies in her career. Pretty good percentage to have won two Academy Awards for best actress while only in nineteen movies.

My grandma who I dearly miss (born 1920-died 2005) saw this movie in the theater and paid with a bread wrapper - they were collecting wrappers and other things like flour sacks and cans (maybe for Depression reasons or War reasons-not sure which at that point). She also paid the same way to watch the Wizard of Oz and a few other classics that would come out in and around that time period. She lived in Oxnard, CA and it was a big affair to go to the “picture show” in town and everyone dressed up and everyone smoked in the theater (she wasn’t a smoker and hated the smoke but it was so common then that you just had to deal with it).

@@supportlittleadventures69 I have seen it in Cinemas twice... The same cinema. Both times the cinema was absolutely packed out both young and old. The movie was played in Roadshow presentation, and it really felt like going back in time to 1939-1940 because the cinema itself opened just before the film came out, and has been restored again and again. It was this classy one: www.astortheatre.net.au/ It's one of Australia's most historic single screen theatres and they played Gone With The Wind when it came out and they still play it once a year(or whenever it gets another restoration release). I got to see the 35mm restoration and a few years later the 4K Digital restoration (I prefered the film restoration to the digital one, but it helps cut the costs to get classic films back in cinema I don't mind digital distribution). The tickets are cheap too. Only cost $12(AUD). Yes it is best experienced on the Big screen with others. It's one of those films, everyone laughed and cried at the moments you'd expect. Even younger cinema lovers discovering the film for the first time.

Vivien was amazing. You should watch the other actresses who auditioned for the Scarlett O'Hara role. They were nothing compared to Vivien. Vivien was able to play a 16-year-old at the beginning of the movie and you were really convinced of her bratty role. And then, by the end of the film, Scarlett was 28 years old, and she was able to deliver that as well. You could see the maturity of Scarlett at the end of gwtw! She perfectly delivered the coming-of-age character. Her Oscar was well-deserved!

Actually the movie itself--I can't stand it by the way--is a piece of history in itself and shouldn't be tampered with in any way. 1938 was as racist as could be and few white viewers had any problem with this myth of the South. Anyone watching it today and buying it would have to be dumb as a sack of hair, but we don't need a bunch of self-righteous Salemites running around re-writing history. Slavery was ugly, and so was the film. Let it stand as it is and let people judge for themselves. People should be able to see the racist shlock that was the most popular film of the mid-20th Century in America. We need the truth. The film tells an important truth

@@nicholasschroeder3678 like I said before the subject of this film was scarlett not slavery, so the horrors of slavery were not emphasised. Hattie mc Daniel won the Oscar for it, first black person to do so, this is well before segregation ended in the South, so the walls of racism were being broken down and this film played a big role in that. Clark gable wouldn't attend functions if hattie mc Daniel wasn't allowed in. Its the love story and scarletts will to survive which I love and people love, scarlett is a sheltered, clueless girl at the start and then real life hits her with a whack. No one that truly likes this movie likes it for the slavery in it. Anyone with a brain cell can tell that of course slavery was wrong and it was good they lost the war. There's one part that I have issue with in the movie is the writing at the start where they say it was a time of master and slave and then it goes on after to call the time like a dream. It was referring to scarletts lifestyle being dreamlike before the war but I understand how it could cause offense. Because it is based on history I don't see any other parts that would cause offence. But of course everyone's entitled to there opinion.
