a movie made before it's time

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2004)

What can be said about this movie that hasn't already been said? Even the making of the movie was turned into a 2 hour documentry. The drama of this movie did not start on the screen nor with the finished picture. it started when they did a search for the perfect actress to play Scarlett. Though many auditioned there was only one scarlett and that was Vivien Leigh. Even the part of Rhett Butler could have been played by no one else than Clark Gable. Olivia De haviland as Melony, Leslie Howard as The weak Ashley only added more lustre to this superb movie. How these actors and actresses made a movie that had no official script, directors and producers that were changed regulary is a real credit to all the cast of this movie.
I say that this is the greatest movie of all time, for it has romance, drama, a battle of will between the sex's and so much more. Would we all have that fighting spirit that Scarlett had when her beloved south and way of life was destroyed? Could we all say those famous words " Tomorrow is another day" and survive. Some may say it is a bit corny and out dated, and that movies like Titanic and other blockbusters are far better with there elaborate sets, and special affects.
Gone With the Wind helped make movie making what it is today.
