Warning: Contains Spoilers, If Haven't Seen Movie PLEASE DON'T READ Gone With The Wind is my favorite movie of all time, I'm here to discuss the reasons I love it. The acting is great for the parts, because after the first fifteen minutes you start imagining Scarlett O'hara not as Vivian Leigh, but as Scarlett O'Hara, jealous, and selfish. The same thing happens with the other characters, actors, and actresses dissapear, and the characters come in. The directing, producing, and writing is fantastic. First of all by picking the actors and actresses, second of all by taking the chance of practically putting the whole book in the movie (not the whole book, but most of it) the writing is fantastic because not many movies have been adapted like this, and I think this is the first of it's time to have each scene actually mean something. Another thing is that rarely a commercially succesfull movie is great. This is also the first epic of it's time (maybe second but close to first) and not many people have done a movie like this. Also it was a great idea to keep the audience waiting three years, that's a tip for producers who are reading this, make them waiting a long, long, long time for a great movie, then you'll get big box office money. The story is fantastic showing a young girl, selfish, jealous, of everyone who has a man, then she becomes nice, and carefull when she's poor, but once she's rich again, she's back to her selfish, and jealous self. Then at the end with nothing left, no daughter, no son, no husband, nobody to love, she see's what she has to do go back to Tara, the place where she lived her childhood, and had a great time, the place where she got through the civil war, the place with her memories in it, the place that she loves.
