Gone With the Wind? If it were up to me it would be

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2004)

I'll state right off the bat that the cinematography and art direction of "Gone With the Wind" is extraordinary,and ahead of its time. I will also say that is were my liking for the film ends.
The fact that the heroine is a manipulative bitch who doesn't care about anyone but herself(contrary to popular belief, Scarlett DOES NOT love Ashley OR Rhett and as for Tara,it's basically an extension of herself), coupled with a skewed, disgustingly idolatrous view of the American South and the Civil War in general is probably the most honest reason for my intense dislike for this film(as well as the book).
I admit to empathizing with two characters: Melanie and Mammy. The former because she is everything that Scarlett is not, and the latter because she's the one that sees through Scarlett.
For a meaningful Civil War story, I pick "Cold Mountain"(film and book both) over "Gone With the Wind(book and film both) any day.
