The best possible film interpretation of the great American novel

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2007)

The most number of tickets ever sold were bought worldwide to see this movie in theaters. GWTW was rewarded with it's advances in color cinematography. The music score was up to the scope of the movie. The costumes were authentic. The cast is perfect. The movie script was worked on for over three years and it shows. The final result on the screen is as true to Margaret Mitchell's book as possible.
This was the movie for more than one generation of people in the United States. Gone With The Wind dominated the academy awards, when that meant something, in 1939 - a year when more good movies where made than any other.
Unfortunately, many of the post-baby boom generation of voters at this site have not been impressed by this definitive film of the most important event in the U.S. since it's inception. I think another demographic should be added by IMDb.com which reflects the fact that the movie going public is a small minority of total U.S. population who value overdone special effects, sex, violence and banal "message films".
