Great Production

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2011)

First, I thought this movie was made in the '50s, but it was made in the '30s. I'm surprised that such fantastic movie production was possible back then.
I think everyone knows the story already so I'll skip the synopsis. I'm not particularly a fan of period piece movie like this, or any of the actors, but the grand production of this movie blows me away. The style of this movie is absolutely lavish. It might be the most lavish movie ever produced. Just on this point alone, this movie is an important landmark.
They didn't have cell phones in civil war era south, but rich people really had luxurious life back then. Even in this luxury, people can't seem to find happiness. Everybody still is putting in their dues. I guess that the whole point of this story.
Clark Gable was absolutely charming in this movie. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him.
Every scene is shot perfectly, and this movie is artistic in every way.
Scaret O'Hara reminds me of modern spoiled high school kid. Vivian Leigh plays it strait but with a little bit of a twist, she could have easily starred in modern teenager movie.
If I see one flaw in this movie, it's the mismatch of characters between Gable and Leigh. They have no chemistry together. Otherwise, it's a startling production, and no wonder it is considered a classic for so many years.
