A worthy epic

Wow. This is quite possbily the longest film I know of. But for once, that is a good thing. In fact, I did not mind the length in the least except the minor inconvenience of switching the dvd's halfway through.
I only recently watched this and I must say I was quite happy with it. First off, I must say that the quality of the restoration is incredible. It looks like it could have been made recently as opposed to decades ago. I was in awe of it. It must have taken them months and months of painstaking computer work to accomplish this. I wouldn't watch it any other way.
As for the film, well, it really is unique. So much goes on and its quite a journey. Rhett Butler has got to be one of my favorite characters anywhere. Clark Gable was simply wonderful in this. I adored the bickering between Rhett and Scarlett, it was really a joy. I can't believe I waited so long to watch this. I understand some liberties had to be taken in regards to the book. I know that they didn't include 2 of Scarlett's children. I did not read the book so I don't know how important they really were to the movie. I know purists argue this but since I am only basing this review on the movie, I didn't feel that it felt like something was missing from it. It felt complete and thorough. It really is a masterpiece as far as films go.

Gone With the Wind

This movie has been seen more than my years. It is an excellent Romantic film and yet has all the elements protraying the civil war and how this affected the people Ms. Mitchell chose to write about. Excellent!!!

A classic that holds up with time, buy the DVD!

If you bought this in VHS format when it first came out, get rid of the VHS version and buy this 2 disc edition. This is a film you will want to have in your collection for all time. It is crisp and beautiful, the color and sound is great and plays well. This film was made in a different time and era when beliefs and morality were looked on differently but enjoy it for itself and dont't try to judge it by todays standards. The performances speak for themselves and the richness of the film is always breathtaking. A timeless classic...

Better Than Expected

It opens by telling us that the South exists no more, except in books. I believe this particular version of the South never existed at all except in this book. But even so, it's more watchable than I expected. It may be idealistic and melodramatic, but I'm still glad I've seen it. Does anybody remember that, in this movie, Jesus took a bullet? Rhett Butler's a great character, plus that's Clark Gable. But Vivian Leigh also did a great job with the growth of Scarlett O'Hara. A little bit of Mitchell's actual prose made its way onto the screen, leading me to believe it's every bit as syrupy and unreadable as most folks who have read it claim. Apologies to those who think it's the greatest book and/or movie of all time, but I'm not one of you. However, at the end of this four-hour epic, when Rhett Butler walked out, I was sad. It is moving. I think she'll get him back. What about you? After all, tomorrow is another day.
