A Then Revolutionary Soap Opera

Rating: 7/10 (18 April 2016)

In the great year of 1939 for the American Cinema (with other major pictures also being released) this film must have seemed revolutionary. The camera, character development even the performances. Nowadays, it's little more than a soap opera. I would only highlight 3 items that made for me the film:
1) The character of Mammy. Her sayings, interventions, struggle amongst her little girl (V. Leigh) and the constant commotion.
2) The great shot which shows us hundreds of southern wounded soldiers laying on the ground while the camera gently sweeps
3) The perfect ending: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" - fades away
