MY REVIEW: Going to Live Forever!!

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2013)

Gone with the Wind. Around 4 hours long colorful rich romantic drama on the backdrop of war was made long way back in 1939. At that time it created a havoc at theaters by grossing close to $400 million which is now equal to more than $3000 million. The lead character Scarlett is a rich spoilt manipulative selfish girl in the times of American civil war and meets her counterpart in Rhett another spoilt gentleman who falls in love with her because she is as bad as him. But both lead actors are honest to each other and they have a habit of never quitting even in the gravest danger. The movie is a journey of Scarlett from pre war to post war times in Georgia. She marries two times; once for revenge and once for money before she finally marries to our hero. You must be thinking what good it would be to live through journey of such flawed characters? Well, the fun lies in the well written drama, soothing back ground score, delicious dialogs, colorful rich sets and an array of small but significant characters around Scarlett. The movie never tries to make a point and showcases both selfish and kind characters with equal love. The movie is special because it does not seem dated at all and charms you even after 70 years.
