I'm not exactly sure how to put this.

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2007)

The theme and plot of the movie have been described before, and I'm not going to bore the readers here by going into it again.
Let me put it this way. As far as I have seen, there are only two movies that I would give ten stars to, GWTW and the Wizard of Oz. It's unfortunate that they had the misfortune of being released in the same year (from an Oscar standpoint, of course) and to have been directed by the same director.
Pauline Kael, the noted movie "reviewer." famously tossed off GWTW as being "the woman as bitch" (referring to Scarlet O'Hara) My retort: yeah, so? I've seen it at least 10 times in the last 30 years, and it never ceases to fascinate.
Actually, I will make a comment on the plot, but not much of one. The part of the movie just before the intermission, with Scarlet in the radish patch, is one of the most powerful segments that I have ever seen in an American movie. Quite frankly, there are too many amazing scenes in the movie to relate.
