A great classic movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2013)

This movie is absolutely favorite.
Watching Scarlett transition from a very pampered, very spoiled, very whiny, very self-centered plantation belle to a woman of great spirit and strength was remarkable. I love the fact that she will do whatever it takes to save her beloved plantation Tara. This characters personal growth of the heart takes some time and I wanted to shake her several times as she lets her beloved Rhett slip away. The character of Melanie makes me want to love her for her deep quiet strength and it is this character that is the one person in the film who truly understands Scarlett. The character of Mammie is just hilarious as the nanny who has raised many of the O'Haras. Her comments about Rhett as being a mule in a horse's harness is just reflective of the brilliant well constructed screenplay. All in all, a great classic movie.
