Just like us

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 1998)

I think this movie is so appealing because it reveals so much about us as human beings. After all, isn't it better for us to lash out at greedy Rhett Butler and selfish Scarlett O'Hara than it is for us to look at ourselves and see in us a hidden dark side we'd rather not admit to having. Rhett and Scarlett, however, had one certain redeeming quality: they made no bones about who they were, and everyone knew all about them, if they cared not to blind themselves. Yet, in spite of it all, Rhett and Scarlett had, like us, the capacity to love and to be generous towards others.
