Gone With The Wind



















Gone With The Wind (1939)
a film by Victor Fleming

What is it?
The chronicles of a family in the South of the United States before, during and after the Civil War embodied in the strong character of a woman decided to do anything to scape from the misery that came with the change of times. A masterpiece of the Hollywood studio system.
Memorable scene
Right at the end of the first part, in a beautiful scene with natural light in the shadow of twilight Scarlett swears that he family won't ever be hungry again.
Favourite quote
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" - Rhett Butler
Interesting
The wood structures burned to recreate the fire of Atlanta were the walls of Babylon in D.W. Griffith's Intolerance (1916) and the ruins in King Kong (1933).
Why is it worth watching this movie?

To watch the film that has produced so many scenes embedded in popular culture and understand what is it all about. See a portrait of the American history in the tormented and passionate life of Scarlett O'Hara and her family. Because is great to hear Rhett Butler.
