classic? you've got to be kidding!

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2002)

ok i try to be fair with my reviews on films but not this one. don't worry i have my reasons. (SPOILERS)
first of all there's Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O Hara) OMG! she was sooooooooo annoying. she did nothing but cry! Scarlett is portrayed as a weak, selfish, spoiled, porceline doll. all hers lines were "oh Rhett" "poor me" blah blah blah. and don't give it was the 1800s crap. women weren't that weak. i did like the idea of someone loving someone else who loves someone else who loves someone else. very clever; however, it was done poorly. then there's Rhett. he is a self-centered, womanizing pig. he wasted his time chasing after Scarlett (why he wanted to be with her is beyond me)well that's his stupidity. ok then there's Ashley...lol ok first of all his name is Ashley, what is that about? he seems to be a plain guy. he doesn't do much for this story. actually he's quiet boring. Melanie is the only sane character of the movie. the plot was choppy. every few scenes a random character would get killed...ummm why? you didn't feel anything when they were killed. except for Bonnie, which by the way, why did they kill her? she was just a child.
i will agree that the cinimatography is great for 1939. but the "famous" staircase scene...oh lord, i can't believe that. Rhett carries Scarlett upstairs then they insinuate that he raped her. uh hello? that's a great scene?! anyone who thinks so is sick.
i honestly can't believe that this movie is considered one of the best. it's soooooo far from it. i give it 2 out of 10.
