10/10 Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2006)

It's a shame to see that such a remarkable film can be judged in today's society just because of the age of the film. I saw the film as a teen and couldn't deny loving it. The film boasts with brilliance and terrific story and drama. Gone with the wind is by far the greatest film ever made and proved by many film lists and so on. The film takes place in the Civil war, the southerners and the Yankees. It shows the affect f the war and how it affected those who lived through it in particular, Scarlett, probably one of the greatest characters in film history. She goes from being a spoilt young woman to a forced to survive hero. She fights and slaves with those around her to keep hold of her plantation 'Tara' and will go to extreme lengths to keep hold of it after the affect of the war. The film is also a major love story mainly between Scarlett, the man she wants so badly, Ashley, and the man who falls for her, millionaire Rhett Butler. By the end of the film Scarlett realises she's been dreaming of something that she never really wanted, but after the many tragedies that occur is it too late for her to keep hold on what she's really been wanting? Gone with the wind is and will always be without a doubt, the greatest movie of all time even in years to come when the cinematic audience of the film aren't around, those who know films will know that it can never be beaten!
