"Sir, you are no gentleman." "And you, Miss, are no lady."

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2016)

GONE WITH THE WIND is an epic melodrama which is very difficult to describe. Considering the thirties this movie is something most original in the history of cinema. Institution. The true magic of life. Of course, the term "magic" I think everything that lives in a certain time pass. I'm a little disappointed because I think it is in the final hour of an epic spectacle given the characteristics of the classic soap opera. This movie is full of freshness and strange irony. The irony of the film no one escaped, at least a "gentleman" in the American South. The horrors of war are quite credible. The arrogance and pomposity "Southerners" are completely the opposite of the characteristics of the main characters.
Gone with the Wind is a love story at the time of the Civil War, in which each in its own way serves some human punishment.
Although I am aware of racist moment that really exists in the film, I would not have acted rudely. Although the "slaves" happy and complex, their characterization is not at all realistic. This is best seen when they become part of the romance or love affairs of their "masters". The film is quite delicate and subtle. Some erotic themes are, to the extent permissible content, quite convincing.
Set design, costume design, framing, story, theme and music are top notch. From the first sequence can be seen magic and suggest that this movie is very expensive.
Gable (Rhett Butler) and Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara) are excellent. Scarlett is the central figure, and Rhett's character who meets her. Both characters are outlaws, unaccepted and stubborn. Perfect for each other, or just doomed?
Howard (Ashley Wilkes) and de Havilland (Melanie Hamilton) are boring. However, when acting individually their good acting comes into play. They look great in a pair with the main two characters. It is interesting that even they do not fit into the concept of people from the South.
Novel. So many tragic figure, none of which is happy. One persistent striving toward the one she can not have, and when it gets it is no longer interesting.
I always watch this movie with relish, while I do not feel numb ass.
