I may be biased, but

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2008)

"Gone with the Wind" is a masterpiece. Brilliant acting, superb script with gorgeous, sumptuous cinematography. Vivien Leigh is luminous as Scarlett O'Hara, a spoiled rich brat in every sense of the word. She has zero redeeming features, except for her beauty and fashion sense! Rhett Butler is the epitome of a Southern Gentleman, Olivia de Havilland putting in a wonderful performance as Melanie and Leslie Howard dashing in his role as the man between two girls.
There are those that have slammed GOTW for being racist, but for goodness' sake! It's set in the civil war. Slaves were a fact. Are we going to gloss over history and change it because we find it offensive? How silly.
Gone with the wind is a wonderful film and should be standard viewing for everyone on the planet.
Just as an aside, I'm biased because my mother named me after the girl that got the guy. Melanie.
