Downfall of the ego...

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2019)

"This was the only completely kind person I ever knew"... Rhett Butler told the truth about Melanie Wilkes, the complete antagonist of sociopathic protagonist Scarlett.
This film revolves around the downfall of persons loving only themselves and tells an utterly beautiful tale of love through the echoes of the American Civil War.
Sublime adapted writing and direction by Sidney Howard and Victor Fleming, and aside from that, excellent in terms of its cinematography, score, and perhaps most of all, character development. Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh and the wonderful supporting cast underline this character-, history-, drama- and romance-driven four-hour film, which I can recommend every lover of films to experience.
