Film Review on Gone With The Wind

I love Gone With The Wind so much that I'd like to give a 5 out of 5 to the movie, and I have already watched the movie for 5 times.
Gone with the wind is a story not only about the romantic adventure but also about the suffering war which many people may have sympathy on. This American epic romance-drama film received ten Academy Awards (8 competitive, 2 honorary), a record that stood for twenty years.In the American Film Institute's inaugural Top 100 Best American Films of All Time list of 1998, it was ranked number four. It has sold more tickets in the U.S. than any other film in history, and is considered a prototype of a Hollywood blockbuster. Today, it is considered one of the greatest and most popular films of all time and one of the most enduring symbols of the golden age of Hollywood. The film was the longest American sound film made up to that time - three hours and forty four minutes in length, plus a four minute intermission.Another reason why I give it a high score is that the leading stars are so gorgeous.It was performed by Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel, and it was directed by Vector Fleming. The leading actresses and actor, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Havilland and Clark Gable even won Best Actress(Actor) Academy Awards for their amazing acting. They had rare beauties and suprising acting talents.

 

As I see it, the whloe story is all about people's envyheart and a girl's growth.

The director set an open ending which confused the audience. We wonder if Rhett Butler would came back to Scarlet. In my opinion, Rhett would returned because he loved Scarlet so much though he spoiled her so much at the same time.(Scarlett! Look at me! I've loved you more than I've ever loved any woman and I've waited for you longer than I've ever waited for any woman. ) He thought Scarlet was his child and he hoped her would have a real woman's heart someday. Nevertheless he did care about Scarlet's sensibilities about Ashley. ( I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.&I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true. ) In fact he was jealous of Ashley

On the other hand, Scarlet learnt that Ashley had never loved her and her strong emotions to Ashley was just a kind of jealousy. She was born from a rich family, thus she could always get all the things and all the men she wanted. She could not possesshe Ashley and she once hoped she could take place of Melenie. Gradually she found Melly was a real good woman. She tried to accept her rival in love and she always gave a helping hand to Melly when the poor but angel-like woman was in trouble. Scarlet was inferior to Melly in morality but she was a powerhouse in the suffering life.( As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.
) She had to be responsible for Tara, which place she got all her confidence from, though she had cheated to marry a rich man to save Tara. Rhett totally understood all her choices because they were so alike, and his Scarlet had already become a real woman. Hence, if Scarlet confessed sincerely all her feelings about Ashley, her jealousy and her true love to Rhett again, the Captain would forgive her, and he would also regret of his own misunderstandings.

Here is my another discovering. When Scarlet nursed a jealousy against others, she always wore a green dress. However, if she wore a red or pink dress, she may have to be responsible for something. For example, when she was on the picnic and talked to Ashley, she was in green. When she went to see Rhett, came out of the jail and see Mrs.Bell, she wore a green dress and her face tunerd green with envy. When she workd in Tara, the plantation and she took care of Melly, she was in a pink dress. When she had to went to the embarassed party held by Ashley, she wore a excellent red dress. She had to attend the party because she was the hostess of Butler's and she was Bonnie's mother, who must be reponsible for the family.

In a word, this is a fascinating movie and I do love it.
