Technically good, story-wise nonsense on the second part.

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2015)

It is really difficult to review a movie negatively that is considered universally a masterpiece.
From a technical point of view, Gone with the wind was well done. Really good shots, acting done well by everyone. I particularly liked the visuals with the rose clouds.
Also, the story was great for almost all the notable lenght of the film. The first three hours made sense and were enjoyable, especially the part regarding the civil war in the middle, and this actually saved this film from getting a 5 rating in my list and made it got a 6.
What frankly seemed to make no sense to me was the second portion of the story. It might be caused by something that has been taken out of the book, or just me because I'm used to coherent plots like Nolan films or Citizen Kane. Until pretty much the scene where Rossella decides to marry Rhett, it actually all worked, and would have worked on later too. What I refuse to believe is that a girl who already managed to survive hunger during the civil war by hard work would behave as childishly as Rossella does in the last hour of the movie. The ultimate ending, with Rhett leaving the moment Rossella realises she doesn't love Ashley (something that should have happened when Rhett left to London, about 30 minutes before) and particularly her famous quote just made me question why did I spend four hours watching a movie which had practically no ending. Because that's not an ending.
