Perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2011)

This film is a true classic, all ages and all generations will love this cinematic masterpiece. Vivien Leigh really brought this film to life, portraying the complex character of Scarlett. You cannot define her character in one word. Her character can cause a lot of debate: Is she good or just plain selfish and cruel. Well, she's a bit of both but I would argue that at the end of the day she is a good person, who only knows a certain way of life which isn't exactly the right way but you see her growth in maturity and character throughout the film. There are moments when you realise that she has determination and strength to rise above situations and she really surprises you, in a good way, in certain ways which makes you grow respect for her character. You can't help but like her or be interested by her no matter what you think of her. Also, it would be wrong to not mention Clark Gables brilliant performance as Rhett Butler. He was so different from the "gentlemen" that in those days was of the norm, but the chemistry between Scarlett and Rhett was perfect, totally convincing and brilliant to watch. But the whole casting was spot on, every character was interesting and likable and all gave everything into their characters. Even in the 21st Centuray it is still considered a masterpiece and watching it, you don't feel such a huge gap in years. You can still watch it today and thoroughly enjoy it. You have to watch this film, it's a must see!
