My most favorite line 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn'

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2012)

'Gone with the Wind' combines historical and personal story lines, offers a dramatic character-driven plot and every time you see it amazes you with its exquisite perfection. The reasons to love 'Gone with the Wind'.
*Original score. That's what I always appreciate in every movie I see. In 'Gone with the Wind' the sublime music fills you with hope for a better future and creating a perfect mood for every scene in the film.
*Blockbuster-ish type. It's epic.
*Restored version. 'Gone with the Wind' is the first color film to win in the Best Picture category at the Oscars. Fortunately, with it restored, we can enjoy vivid colors of sunset in the famous scenes.
*History.'Gone with the Wind' has a large share of history, bringing events of Civil War to screen, and this makes the movie not just a tale about a capricious girl but of the whole nation and of fighting for equality of all people.
*Successful screen adaptation. It is common that a film spoils and deprives of spice a book it is based upon but definitely not in this case.
*Verisimilitude. Everything, from sets of then American South to many-sided personalities of heroes, makes you believe that they are almost real: Atlanta on fire, hundreds of extras, described in detail and well acted characters with different temperaments.
*Quotes. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." "With enough courage, you can do without a reputation." "As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again." "Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all... tomorrow is another day."
*Cast. Vivien Leigh was best suited to the cast for the role of Scarlett O'Hara. Hattie McDaniel was really fantastic as Mammy
*Characters. For them we can be grateful to the writer and to the cast, of course. Scarlett O'Hara, a southern beauty, capricious and childish in her youth, changes into a strong-willed, materialistic, quick-tempered pseudo-lady and she is a symbol of strength and determination. She shows that before you get something, you have to work, sacrifice or resort to cunning. No matter how hard she works and how much she abases herself before Ashley, she always knows her own value and she reaches almost every goal she marks out. Even though she can't win in love, she will overcome every obstacle and survive any war, any grief, any affliction to befall her.
*Story. Many think it's a story about love, but I, for one, abandon myself to the idea that it's a story about survival and zest for life. For it is life that must be appreciated the most, must be valued, must be made happy. "After all, tomorrow is another day!"
