Gone with the Wind (1939) is a fascinating film

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2019)

It's widely considered one of the grandest spectacles in cinematic history, on par with the likes of Ben Hur (1959) and The Ten Commandments (1956). After seeing it, I have to agree that it is quite something.
The movies of old were told their stories in a very different manner than the ones of today. The pacing was more languid, as if they were taken from a multi-part miniseries with the episodes stitched together. The acting was much more bombastic and expected to be slightly over the top.
I was easily able to watch it in 4 installments with very natural cut-off points around every hour. I found that each installment gave me different things to think about.
