Steam Gone with the Wind

Gone with the Wind is a movie starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and Thomas Mitchell. A manipulative woman and a roguish man conduct a turbulent romance during the American Civil War and Reconstruction periods.
This tale of the Old South from the start of the Civil War through to the period of reconstruction focuses on the beautiful Scarlett O'Hara. Before the start of the war life at the O'Hara plantation, Tara, could only be described as genteel. As for the young Scarlett, she is without doubt the most beautiful girl in the area and is always the belle of the ball. She is very much looking forward to a barbecue at the nearby Wilkes plantation as she will get to see the man she loves, Ashley Wilkes. She is more than a little dismayed when she hears that he is to marry his cousin Melanie Hamilton and in a fit of anger, she decides to marry Melanie's brother. War is soon declared and as always seems to be the case, men march off to battle thinking that it will only last a few weeks. Now living in Atlanta, Scarlett sees the ravages that war brings. She also becomes re-acquainted with Rhett Butler, whom she had first met at the Wilkes barbecue. Now a widow, she still pines for the married Ashley and dreams of his return. With the war lost however, she returns to Tara and faces the hardship of keeping her family together and Tara from being sold at auction to collect the taxes. She has becomes hardened and bitter and will do anything, including marrying her sister's beau, to ensure she will never again be poor and hungry. After becoming a widow for the second time, she finally marries the dashing Rhett but they soon find themselves working at cross-purposes, their relationship seemingly doomed from the outset.
Comments about romance «Gone with the Wind» (23)
I really like this movie. I think the director got a great cast, and of course the music. It also has a really interesting story, and well acted. Even though it is a love story, the characters are actually pretty good and the love is so romantic, that you will cry and feel happiness in this movie. I also like the costumes, for example the costumes in the winter scenes. I really enjoyed this movie and think it is one of the best romantic movies ever. I hope Hollywood will start more films like this one. (I hope they will even get the "Gone with the Wind" or "Bram Stoker's Dracula" fans to watch this.)
I can't believe that I have watched this film as it is a classic and the quality of the acting is unmatched. William Holden and Imelda Staunton are simply fantastic and do justice to their roles as both love a beautiful country home and a true love. This film has great historical value for anyone interested in the early 20th century. My favourite character was played by Paul Newman who captured the dark side of the man and how he was still fighting against the evils of the times. The film would have been interesting to watch in more detail but instead it was one of the few times I did not take my eyes off the screen. The fact that a version of the film has been made on the DVD is a shame because it is a good one and everyone should enjoy it.
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of all the Civil War stuff. Sure, I like the films, but I can't stand watching it. I hate it. So, as I'm not a huge fan of Civil War, I tried to enjoy this film, and I did. It's a well made film. There's a lot of emotion, the acting is good, the sets are beautiful and interesting and the camera work and effects are great. It's all nice. So, the biggest problem with this film is the fact that it is very predictable. It's just there. If you watch the trailer, you know that someone's going to die. I mean, that's what it's about. It's not like it's in the middle of a battle or anything. There's never any suspense. The problem is that this is the point where the film really gets to it's intended purpose. The movie is supposed to be about this war. I love Civil War, but I think it's overrated. I mean, it's an historical masterpiece, but, I think the film has a lot of flaws. I can't say I hate it. I still think it's really good, but I think it could've been a lot better. It's a good film, but not great.
To me, the movie that caught my eye the most in terms of making it to the top of the top 250 was "Dances with Wolves". I've seen "Dances with Wolves" twice now, and this is my second viewing, and I found it to be even better. There were a few parts of the movie that were lacking in details (Tuck, the Indians' chief, and the Bloody Millers). Other than that, the movie was definitely worth watching. The characters are well developed, and you feel like you are part of the time period. The directing of Tuck was excellent. He made us feel that time period's culture, and gave us a little taste of what they were going through. Also, I thought it was really nice to see him wear a button-down shirt (almost the same one as he wore in the movie, only that it was all torn and tattered, just like his shirt, in the book). It was really good to see him be a man again and be able to walk like a man again. He was also perfect for his part. At least, that is how I feel about him. This movie has a strong emotional component. If you watch the movie without really trying to comprehend how or why the main character felt like that, you will probably find it very easy to relate to the main character. I, personally, found it really interesting that this war changed the American way of life, and what made people feel so hateful and violent towards each other. I think it was really great that he had to make the decision to fight for what he believed in. Another thing I found interesting was that his family (especially his wife and daughter) showed such courage and love for the man. I really liked the scenes of him and his family bonding. The main characters in this movie are outstanding. The roles were all perfect, and the acting of the main actors was really good. I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone, and recommend that they read the book as well.
Ben Hur (Ben) was an English king who had a problem with his blood and his rise and fall was depicted in this movie. The movie was almost three hours long and was certainly not the worst movie I have ever seen. The actors were very good, and I found the movie more entertaining than I had expected. I would recommend it.
This film is not bad, but not great either. The cinematography is fantastic, the scenery is amazing, and the acting is so-so. The main characters are flawed, two of them are desperately trying to achieve something, which is fine, but there are some very weak parts to their character development. However, the cinematography and scenery are so good, it is hard to notice those weak parts. I don't really know why this film is so loved, but I suspect it has to do with the romance in it. There are some parts where the camera is very nice and there are scenes where it is more realistic, which is nice. However, it is not the most realistic romance ever. The acting is good, but I think the main problem is the characters' character development. The acting is strong, but in some parts it is weak, and in some parts it is not believable. In the end, I don't think this film is too bad, but it is not very good either. It is enjoyable but nothing extraordinary.
I have been a huge fan of "The Lion King" since I first saw it as a child. It was in my top 3 all time favorite movies, so I was really looking forward to seeing "The Greatest Showman" when it was released. I was excited to see it because I loved the "I'll never give up on you" line and I had high hopes for the musical numbers. I was very disappointed. The singing was great, and the acting was wonderful, but the singing just wasn't strong enough, especially for the old versions. I know the songs were great, but the choreography was horrible. It felt as though the actors didn't know what to do with the instruments. The musical numbers were amazing, but the singing was just average. In addition, the songs just weren't interesting. The original versions of "Greatest Showman" were so incredible, and were perfect for the plot. I was happy to see they were trying something new with the songs. But, I guess I just didn't care. If I had known this movie was going to be so bad, I would have just gone to see the old versions. That way, I would have been forced to watch the bad version of the song I hated the most. Overall, I was very disappointed by "The Greatest Showman." I was very disappointed because it was just so bad. I'm not giving it the 10/10 it deserves, because it's bad, but it's not the best movie ever made. I feel like the critics got too hard on it because they had nothing good to say. The only good thing about "The Greatest Showman" is that it is extremely well produced. The movie is about music. The music is something that has to be perfect and is always in a perfect mood. So when you're not making a great movie about the musical, it's a good movie. But I think that's the worst thing that could have happened to this movie. All the other versions of "The Greatest Showman" were so perfect, and had a perfect musical score. "The Greatest Showman" was just so bad that it was a little hard to swallow. I think it was just a little too good for this story.
Of all the movies I have ever seen in my life, this is the best. The most effective battle sequences and emotional investment, I've ever seen. Go see it!
I don't know why so many people find this movie so offensive. I love this movie, and I think that most people can relate to it. I am a very politically correct person, but I think this movie should not be banned. It is an effective war film, but I think that they should have left the bloody battle scenes in. I think that this movie was great and so, so very sensitive.
Saw "Go Tell the Spartans", a two hour picture with an incredible cast, and I was beyond thrilled. Beautiful cinematography, a stunning musical score, a marvelous portrayal of historical settings and characters, a powerful use of dramatic music, and an excellent history lesson. I was even more impressed that it was the first movie that featured three of my favorites: Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, and Clark Gable. All three were wonderful, and their roles were extremely complex and important. All three made me feel as though I was in a great epic adventure. A must see for all who love cinema. "A Battle Cry" is not only great for its historical value, but for its wonderful artistic qualities. You feel like you are right there in the middle of the "fight" with the Spartans, and you will be rooting for the Spartans in the end. This film is a must see.
Two pieces of historical film that have risen to the ranks of a major blockbuster, and in some cases established themselves as a classic in their own right. The war films of the 1940s are often linked with Gone With the Wind and I think this film fits the bill quite nicely. This film depicts a long, hard, and long war, when the US was at the peak of its power and strength. It also shows the how the US and Britain reacted to the atrocities of the war, and both countries at that time seemed to think nothing of sending their own troops into battle. This film does have its fair share of drama and drama is something I really enjoy watching. This film was well directed and has a strong ensemble cast. Many people have said that this is one of the best films of its time. I don't agree with that statement. While it does have its moments, it doesn't quite blow you away like the other war films I've mentioned, which is an accomplishment. The story is rather simple and nothing too complicated, but I've seen many great war films, so I know how well written and directed a film can be. All in all, I enjoyed this film. It has great drama and it does a good job of showing what the war was like and the effects it had on many people. You will not find this film as deep or profound as some of the other war films, but it is a good, worthwhile film.
A rare find that we are not used to see from Disney. A perfect film, but we all know what happens after that. I was very surprised about how this film was executed, because you do not expect a film like this to be done well. It is a film that shows how powerful the human spirit can be, and shows that some of the issues that could have been addressed are not fully addressed in the end. A very inspirational film, although it does not show anything as powerful as the Song of the Sea or the Disney films. It is a film that can be viewed from many different angles, and I personally think it is one of the best Disney films.
In the grand tradition of Hollywood romance films, Gone With the Wind is an allegorical and symbolic portrayal of life and time as we understand it. A wonderful story of love, loyalty, and adventure, the film portrays a period in American history when the country was divided by a social revolution that finally brought America together. The film is a wonderful synthesis of romance, drama, and sentimentality, which is what the film is really about: preserving the history of the United States and its people through its old values and values brought to the forefront by its struggles for freedom. We are treated to some fantastic cinematography, and the period of the movie is beautifully recreated. The acting was all very well done, especially with some of the leading ladies. The casting of Morgan Freeman and Katharine Hepburn is a brilliant idea because they both share the same traits that make people fall in love with them: their charm, their beauty, their charisma, and their tremendous intelligence. The fight scenes and scenery are beautiful and beautifully recreated. Although I am a guy, I really found this film to be one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. I don't remember having a bad movie when I went to see this, but I do remember thinking how great it was. While I was in the cinema, I could not take my eyes off of the screen. The acting is all very good, the story is good, and the script is very good. The story is very well written, it is all very dramatic, and you could not help but smile when certain scenes were brought to life. The characters are all very well thought out, and you could not help but feel for the people, the characters, and the country that was America at the time. The setting and the special effects were done very well. I had never been to an American cinema, and I had never heard of an American studio producing this kind of film. I was absolutely amazed. I was very pleased with the way the film was executed. I would definitely recommend this film to everyone who enjoys the movies of the 1930s and 1940s. The movie was wonderful, and I think the few negative reviews are not really giving the film the credit it deserves. It is a great film, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. 8/10.
I didn't expect much from this film, as I found that it wasn't all that outstanding. However, it's so much better than some of the films I've seen recently. Although it is a historically accurate period piece, the plot is a little strange. The film focuses more on the people who led the Confederate States of America, not the battles. This makes sense, since they were a divided group that felt divided. This film also looks at the history of the women's suffrage movement and the movement itself. My favorite scene was the one in which the Southern woman sings to her pregnant slave and tells her it's going to be a tough pregnancy. It shows that slavery and women's suffrage are not quite opposite sides of the same coin, although I'm sure that the Southern women didn't approve of slavery. Finally, the film was also very cool to see how many of the men played themselves in the film. I was really impressed by the acting, especially the general, who was very good. The only downer in this film was that it was a bit slow. This is a good film and I recommend it.
If I have to list some of the reasons I liked this movie more than others, it would be that I liked how it was directed and handled, the acting was decent, and Scarlett Johansson did a great job with her role, and it's good to see an American movie made with some real American locations, like Southern states, all of them I've lived in and know about. I also thought it was a good idea of re-telling a time period and setting through a movie. It has a very good plot, the people in the movie are great, and the ending was pretty good. It is definitely worth seeing, but I can't say I would have watched it again.
Forgive the many cliches in this comment. I know, I have seen it many times. It has many allusions, and is told in a way that can be interesting for both the ignorant and the old-fashioned. I am an old-fashioned male, so that helped somewhat. I found the background of the Civil War interesting. So the Southern culture was interesting. I did not like the main character, but I felt she was not bad. She was good, and she did not behave like a savage. I thought her clothing was too girlish. That is true to the Southern clothing style. But it was interesting to watch this on screen. I think the conflict was just right. I liked the music, but the singing was not very good. It was not a bad movie, but it could have been better. It did not have to be like the Southern movies. But it was a very good movie. 8 out of 10 stars, even if not being recommended to all. I believe this is more like a classic of a movie, or a good movie, than a must-see movie. So that is why I gave it a 8. But it was very good, and I think that is a score to be able to appreciate.
I will try not to be too harsh, this is a marvelous film, but I think it might have had some better parts. The beginning is wonderful, the good ideas, the interesting scenes, the wonderful cinematography. This is a very strong entry into the famous Tarantino canon, and is also the first Tarantino film I ever saw, even when I was about four years old, it was the one, I remembered the most. When I was thirteen I bought it on video. It's a typical Tarantino film, but then some of the parts are slightly better, as I said above. The second half of the movie, it is not as good. I didn't like the way the movie ended, but the main idea behind it was great, and I think it was a good idea to do that. I liked how the film ended, but I don't know, I like this film more, but I have to give it a good rating, not a perfect one. I think it is just like a very good first part, but not as good as it could have been. I think Tarantino is one of the greatest directors ever, he deserves all the accolades he has gotten, but the reality is, it just wasn't as good as it could have been, and it was a very good start, but it is an imperfect one.
I guess it's fair to say that when it comes to making a movie about the Civil War, the result is typically more controversial than the subject matter. The historical inaccuracies of the historical record are all too evident, and the scenes of slave-trading are so accurate as to defy all logic. However, when it comes to the movie itself, which is based on the play by Federico Fellini and filmed in full color, you may be surprised to find that you are not likely to be appalled by the graphic treatment of the slave trade. Much of the historical accuracy of the script and the general treatment of the war in the film are only too apparent to be enjoyed. The result is a film that is (in general) very entertaining, and is able to pull its audience in by presenting a highly imaginative story of bravery, cruelty and honor. The main character, Grant, is a highly intelligent young man who during the Civil War is put in charge of a regiment of Confederate soldiers. Grant is a member of the Union army, and will have to endure his share of the war. Grant is constantly surrounded by hatred, and his fellow soldiers (mostly rebels) call him names. The character of J.E.B. Stuart, who teaches Grant the value of discipline and the importance of honor, has a great effect on the character of Grant. Although a love interest is introduced, which is about as random as it gets, in this film, it seems unlikely that a character like that would exist in the lives of Confederate soldiers. If anything, the love interest makes the character of Grant more human. The scenes of Confederate soldiers murdering civilians are very effective, and make the viewer feel sick to his stomach. The characters of the Southern senators are also very important, and the conflicts of their loyalty are handled well. I don't think I'm alone in preferring this movie over some of the other Civil War movies that have been made over the years. While I can't think of many movies that I can compare this one with, this one is one that is sure to stand the test of time.
This movie is definitely one of my favorites. It is extremely famous for having Scarlett and Jimmy Stewart in it. I remember when I saw it, my friends were all thinking, "this movie is just going to suck". But, I was wrong. This movie had just a great cast. Not only did it have such a good story line, but also it had such a good cast. Even if you hate Scarlett and Jimmy Stewart, they did a good job in this movie. Scarlett played a very sadistic character. In her mind, she was a little girl that lost her mother. But, she was able to keep a cool head throughout the whole movie, even when she was being tortured. Jimmy Stewart played a similar role. Although he was quite young, he showed a very courageous, yet mad character. At the time, he was playing a role that was so much different from his real life. Although I do not think that this movie is that great, I still enjoyed it very much. It was like one of those stories that you just cannot forget. I just cannot understand how people are not praising this movie. I loved it. It was a classic.
When I was a kid, I remember watching this movie over and over again. I watched it when I was 11 and even showed it to my mother, who hated it and couldn't stand the melodrama. But that was 10 years ago. Today, I see this movie again, and I see a lot more of it. For the first time, I'm seeing the movie as a film. It's a very old movie, made 10 years ago, in a very different time. It's very heavy. I mean, a lot of the people in the audience are crying. I'm glad that a movie is still being made, even if it's supposed to be about WWII and a particular movie about one of the most historic events in the history of mankind. It's a good thing, that a movie like this can be made, even if it is based on a fiction. I'm glad that they're still making movies. I hope they continue making them.
A great book, this film, very much like the book, has been given an almost epic scope which is very much like the book but in a way that may be a little too great. I am not sure if the two of them work very well together or not, but both are enjoyable. The fact that so many people seem to have different opinions about what the book is about and not what the movie is about is somewhat confusing. For me it was about a love story between Scarlett and Montgomery. I believe it could have been extended and the movie could have had more of an ending, but it was very good. I did not like how Giamatti was a very different character, I thought that he did not deserve to be in the movie because I thought his part was not worth it. I would have liked to see more of him and how he adapted. I am also not sure if Tom Hanks was the right choice for Montgomery, but if you are a fan of the book you will love it. I have not read the book but I do know that I will be reading the book after watching the movie and I can already tell that some people are going to hate the movie because of the ending.
I like to think of George C Scott as the quintessential white, civilized man with a mind on the clock. And like most of us, I like to think of Katherine Hepburn as the beautiful, dark-skinned heroine. The picture of the Civil War was, of course, the "war to end all wars," so if you liked this, you probably liked the first Star Wars (which I also liked very much). Also, as far as I'm concerned, the depiction of Civil War atrocities, such as beheading and being turned into dogs, should be banned on all of the electronic media. George C. Scott is definitely a man of some color, but I really can't see how that would detract from my enjoyment of the movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
The film depicts a time in history when America was leading a nation, defeating the invaders and everyone was dancing to the music of Tommy. However, there were some very dark scenes in the movie. I know that when I saw the movie as a child it scared me and I was very scared. I was about to leave the theater and watch some scary movie. The only thing in the movie that scared me was the scene of Tommy running from the Savages. It really did look scary. The only thing that scared me in the movie was the music and the films shot. It was a very beautiful film and I loved it. The music was really beautiful and haunting. It was also the only movie that scared me, even though I was only about 8 years old. It was very haunting and in my mind it was a lot more than just an older man playing a certain song that everyone plays when they come home from school. I really hope to see the movie again in the future.
