After all, tomorrow is another day.

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2014)

I've seen this film once before, and I have to say I liked it much better this time around. I think that's because the first time I watched it right after reading the book, and there were so many differences that were hard to overlook. It's been a few years though, and approaching it from a cinematic standpoint changes the perspective.
I absolutely love the editing, composition, lighting, set design, and color use in this film. I just cannot get over how amazing it is, and it contributes so well to that romanticized Old South feeling, and the depiction of wartime. The overall mood is so strong it's incredible. A lot of my family is from the south, and there's just something about this film that captures a certain feeling/dynamic that is still somewhat present.
My one problem with it has always been Vivien Leigh. I just don't think she's Scarlett, no matter what anyone else says—book Scarlett had so much more depth. She's the one thing I cannot forgive in this adaption.
