A young woman learns what really matters to her.

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 2004)

At the very beginning of the movie, Scarlett is told by her father: "Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for, worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts."
And, basically, the first half of the movie is when Scarlett learns the truth in that, and the second half of the movie is when she convinces the audience that she believes it.
We see the character grow from a willful, stubborn and immature girl into a very strong woman as she finally recognizes her infatuation with Ashley Wilkes as just that and Rhett Butler as the only man in her life she doesn't have to dominate.
