❶ 《飄》女主人公英文評論
I think,first,i like she ,but shi isnot a good mother,she ie brave woman.
第一她在困難的時候敢於承擔責任,雖然也有動搖,但最後仍然承擔責任,比如她救了梅蘭妮,她重振塔拉園,後來長期扶助阿仕萊一家等等.
第二她敢於去愛,無怨無悔,她的整個青春都在愛著阿仕萊,沒有回報但她仍沒有放棄努力,直到能力的極限為止.
第三知錯能改,當她最後明白她之前所為是錯誤時,她馬上象瑞德道歉,請求原諒.
總的來說,斯佳麗堪稱錦幗不讓須眉的奇女子,人中龍鳳,難怪瑞德這樣的牛人也拜倒在她的石榴裙下.
每次看《亂世佳人》,每次都有不同的收獲。年輕時看,討厭虛榮愛出風頭的斯嘉麗,
喜歡純潔善良的玫蘭妮,不喜歡油腔滑調的瑞德巴特勒,喜歡溫文爾雅的阿希禮,
喜歡南方如畫的景緻和田園牧歌式的生活,不喜歡北方的浮華和放盪。
後來看了多次之後,不由得對斯嘉麗敬佩起來,緣本是一個弱女子,任性而年青,
第一次結婚是一時的沖動報復,嫁給了不愛的男孩,讓自己成為了年輕的寡婦。
第二次結婚是為了一家人的生存,搶走了妹妹的心上人,肯尼迪。
肯尼迪雖然是一個半老頭子,卻不是斯嘉麗的對手,面對她的冷酷和無情,他束手無策。
最終為了斯嘉麗差點遭受的侮辱去報復窮白人而被人擊斃,不幸枉死。
卻從未享受過斯嘉麗的一點愛。於是斯嘉麗再次成為寡婦,而且還是個有錢的寡婦。
在那個戰火紛飛的年代,為了答應過阿希禮照顧玫蘭妮的一句承諾,在北軍就要攻佔亞特蘭大的時候,
斯嘉麗又果斷地替玫蘭妮接生,並找到瑞德沖破重重阻礙和關卡,回到了鄉下老家--陶拉。
在又飢又餓之時,她又遭受了母親病亡、父親痴呆、家裡被劫,一窮二白的多重打擊,
她不屈不撓,帶頭種田幹活,喝令妹妹下床摘棉花,並照顧玫蘭妮和小波,支撐一家人的生計,
那時她頂多也不過是個二十來歲的小姑娘,本應是個在母親懷里撒嬌的小姑娘。
可是面對如此巨大的困難,她沒有選擇逃避,而是勇敢挑起家裡的重擔,
以常人難以企及的毅力抗爭命運,每每看到斯嘉麗舉著蘿卜向天盟誓,決不願讓家人再受苦挨餓時,
我總是覺得拍片導演對光線和背景的運用是那麼巧妙和藝術,
它那麼生動地刻劃了斯嘉麗渴望安定、渴望生存、渴望富裕的強烈而真實的內心情感。
我覺得那時的她,已完成了最艱難的嬗變,由一隻醜陋的毛毛蟲破繭而出變成了美麗的蝶,自由而高貴,
那時的斯嘉麗就像一個女神---渴望富有、並為此能不擇手段的慾望女神。
我必須承認,對我來說,《亂世佳人》的吸引力之所以這么大,和克拉克蓋博主演的瑞德巴特勒絕對有關系。
當然,費雯麗眯著那雙像貓那樣的綠眼,迷人而妖媚,同樣也讓人傾倒。
她是個讓女人都能為之神魂顛倒的女人,她自私、冷酷、無情、聰明、不擇手段、堅強,
卻不乏善良、美麗、脆弱;她是一個高不可攀的女神,讓許多女人都夢想著能像她那樣,
集財富、美貌、能幹、堅強於一身,讓瑞德那樣的男人能夠為她而傾倒。至少我曾經就那樣想過。
但我認為,瑞德給我們這些女性觀眾帶來的卻更多是對愛情和婚姻的甜美幻想,
他是那麼瀟灑倜儻,那麼玩世不恭,那麼自信過人,富有並充滿了成熟男人的魅力,
該是多少女性心目中的偶像啊。
在這里,簡單回閃斯嘉麗和瑞德相遇、相識、相愛的幾個片段,
就能讓人對瑞德愛我所愛,堅持自兒,富有個性的男性魅力印象深刻:
片段一:瑞德第一次見到斯嘉麗是在十二像樹園的舞會上。斯嘉麗向所有的男士賣弄風情,
卻發現瑞德正注意她,斯嘉麗向身邊的女伴抱怨說:「他看我的樣子,就像我沒穿衣服」
可見瑞德給人的感覺不是溫文爾雅,富有紳士風度,對世事的有種別人所不具備的強大洞察力和影響力,
表明了他與一般的南方男人不同點:現實、大膽而富有進攻性,
當他躲在客廳里偷聽斯嘉麗大膽地向阿希禮表露愛慕,
但因遭到婉拒,她氣急敗壞地搧了阿希禮一個耳光,並砸碎了一個小花瓶時,他吹了一個口哨,
於是他被斯嘉麗指責為不是一個紳士,而他同時也反唇相譏斯嘉麗不是一個真正的淑女,讓斯嘉麗氣極。
倆人第一次相見就是一次愛情的交鋒。
片段二:斯嘉麗因查爾斯病亡到亞特蘭大散心,正在服喪的她,十分渴望能再度飛旋於舞池中,
表現了她在內心裡對無拘無束、自由生活的嚮往和憧憬。
是瑞德看出了她的心思,並出重金替她撬開了那個壓抑而沉悶的社會道德囚籠,
使她走上了和別的南方女人最不相同的命運之路。這正是斯嘉麗反叛舊的社會道德標准邁出的關鍵性一步,
而這一步,如果沒有瑞德暗中巧妙的支持和安排,斯嘉麗是決不會踏出的。
如果沒了這關健一步,那麼日後那個能幹、要強、並獨擋一面的亂世佳人---斯嘉麗就決不會存在了!
片段三:瑞德為了幫助斯嘉麗重返故里,拚死弄了一輛馬車,並幫助她把玫蘭妮和小波抱到馬車上,
同時一路歷經辛苦,並在即將要到達的時候,瑞德看到許多南方兵前仆後繼,視死如歸,
深感震憾,並決定上戰場,為保衛家園盡一份力。這時可以看出,為了心愛的女人,他能出生入死;
同樣,面臨家園被毀之境,他也是一個熱血之人,
導演在這里才向我們描繪了一個深藏在平日玩世不恭外表下,
也具有一顆為榮譽甘灑熱血之心的典型南方男性的形象。
在這里我們看到,雖然瑞德平日里非常精明、現實,但他骨子裡其實還是一個南方人。
片段四:瑞特在經歷了喪女之痛和斯嘉麗在精神上的背叛後,面對玫蘭妮的之死,對一切都灰心失望至極,
回家收拾行李,返回自己的故鄉,查爾斯頓。當愚蠢的斯嘉麗最後發現自己已深愛瑞德時,
才發現已最終失去了自己最心愛的人。瑞德最後走得十分乾脆,讓斯嘉麗深感懊悔。
直到這里,我們才聽到那顆曾經為愛而柔軟的心破碎的聲音,同時也因為破碎而對斯嘉麗變得「冷酷無情」,
這里的瑞德才讓我們感覺到,這個男人敢愛敢恨,處理事情十分乾脆利落,極富男性魅力。

❹ 影評電影《飄》,英語的怎麼寫
注意看了:gone with the wind
Scarlett is a woman who can deal with a nation at war, Atlanta burning, the Union Army carrying off everything from her beloved Tara, the carpetbaggers who arrive after the war. Scarlett is beautiful. She has vitality. But Ashley, the man she has wanted for so long, is going to marry his placid cousin, Melanie. Mammy warns Scarlett to behave herself at the party at Twelve Oaks. There is a new man there that day, the day the Civil War begins. Rhett Butler. Scarlett does not know he is in the room when she pleads with Ashley to choose her instead of Melanie.
Gone With the Wind, an all-time best-seller by Margaret
Mitchell, is a legendary recollection of the last brilliance of the Old South. The writer's debut novel was an instant success. And the story has been bestowed an even further reaching popularity since Vivian Leigh presented a vivid translation to the screen of Katie Scarlett O'Hara, a southern belle raised in her father's white-pillared plantation Tara. A climax of Hollywood, from Director Victor Fleming for MGM, Gone with the Wind is more than a vicissitude, it is also an old, lost culture revisited.
It is Old South, which today is no more than a dream remembered. People were once there, living with the high strong slaves' songs in the quarters, in security, peace and eternity. Here, Scarlett spends her young maiden years. She is well disciplined by her mother, but her blazing green eyes always betray her covert capricious self; the one who enjoys parties and the surrounding ofbeaus. She dreams to marry the noble Ashley Wilkes. The impending war shatters the golden peace of the South, and leaves many lives permanently changed. Plantations, treasures, and honor are ruined. Scarlett is made a most peculiar widow by the war, and then compelled into a second marriage in continuation of her struggle for the salvation of Tara. And her third marriage to Rhett Butler is also jeopardized because of her secret, stubborn ardency for Ashley.
❺ 電影《飄》的觀後感不少於1400
一切彷彿是註定的。
前不久重看電影《亂世佳人》,心中再次升起這句話。
電影結尾,白瑞德離開了斯佳麗,要返回老家去尋找「美好的事物」,斯佳麗沖出去想找回白瑞德。
然而,等她沖到了院子里,有那麼一刻,她呆住了,因為此時的情景,曾一次次出現在她的夢里。那個夢,她對白瑞德說過:「我在迷霧中尋找什麼,可誰也找不到。」
優秀的小說,總是容易讀到宿命論的味道。然而,假若有命,命由誰定?
1993年的暑假,我剛讀大一,本來很怵英文的我花了整整一個暑假讀英文版的《亂世佳人》,很多地方似懂非懂,但還是被吸引,於是暑假結束後又在北京大學圖書館讀了中文的《亂世佳人》。
那時,還不懂得這部小說中隱含著的自傳的味道,對作者瑪格麗特·米切爾在小說中製造的宿命論頗有點瞧不起,甚至不自覺中將這部小說列入了二流小說之列。
但16年後再看電影《亂世佳人》,理解力已完全不同,寥寥幾個細節,已然明白,這的確像是命中註定,問題只是,命是什麼。
電影一開始,斯佳麗的父親騎著馬在庄園中飛奔,宿命已開始。
那一瞬間,我似乎全然明白了這個著名的故事中的一切道理。斯佳麗的父親是頗有點粗魯但頑強的愛爾蘭人。那麼,白瑞德呢,不也正是桀驁不遜而又堅強的男人?再看看艾什利,他恰恰相反,是溫文爾雅的英國紳士一般的男子。
由此,立即便可以明白,斯佳麗為什麼迷戀艾什利。因為,艾什利和她的爸爸是完全相反的男子。
套用我的理論,可以說,因為對自己的父親有不滿的地方,所以斯佳麗頭腦中發展出了一個「理想父親」的原型,而這也是她長大後的「理想男人」的原型所在。父親是粗魯的,而她理想中的白馬王子就是儒雅的。
斯佳麗最終明白,她並不愛艾什利,她發現艾什利是一個柔弱的男子,缺乏生命力。這時她也明白,她愛的還是白瑞德,這個總是諷刺她、戲弄她而又將她照顧得無微不至同時又具有剽悍的生命力的男人。
不過,在我看來,「她不愛艾什利」,這只是問題的一方面,只怕無論如何醒悟,像艾什利這樣的男人,仍然會對斯佳麗有一種特殊的吸引力,因為靠近這樣的男子,會讓她覺得,她的生命似乎圓滿了。
但更進一步講,她並不能真正和艾什利生活在一起。因為,其實她從來沒有學會和這樣的男子相處,她學會的,就是如何和白瑞德,也即父親這樣的男人相處,她可以和他們一樣粗魯無禮,一樣殘忍無情,但又在這種前提之下找到相互欣賞和共處的方法。
然而,到底該如何和艾什利相處呢?斯佳麗並不知道,她其實也從來沒有看清楚過艾什利的真實存在。艾什利的太太梅蘭妮,一開始就知道艾什利的真實的樣子,並尊重和愛他的真實,但斯佳麗不同,她是喜歡他的溫文爾雅,但她是否喜歡他沒有生命力呢?她是否能接受,艾什利其實根本無法依靠呢?
所以,盡管斯佳麗迷戀艾什利,但假若真和他生活在一起的話,她會很快失望並不能忍受。那時,她才會懷念像父親那樣的男人的好。
與此相反的是,盡管她意識上一直討厭白瑞德,但他們其實是天作之合,他們都知道如何刺激對方,如果挑逗彼此,同時又如何相處,這種相處中有著許許多多的默契,這種默契不需要再學習,因為她早已在和父親的相處中學到了。當然,相當一部分的學習要歸功於她的黑人奶媽瑪格麗特。
類似的故事,我在我的周圍也屢屢發現,很多人憧憬某類異性,但當對方真要接受自己時,他們卻開始莫名其妙地退縮,而最終選擇了一個自己貌似不喜歡的異性。接下來,他們和配偶在婚姻中不斷戰爭,同時也不斷思念那夢中情人的美好。但這永遠是水中花鏡中月,他們並不敢真正接近,那會令幻想破滅。
這不只是斯佳麗的宿命,這也是故事中白瑞德、艾什利和梅蘭妮的宿命。
斯佳麗迷戀艾什利,是因為艾什利與自己的父親正好相反。這個道理也可以用在梅蘭妮對斯佳麗的喜愛上——她之所以那麼喜愛斯佳麗,是因為斯佳麗和她完全相反。是的,斯佳麗有些殘忍,有些為所欲為,而她卻是無比善良,極其善解人意。
但是,在似乎完全美好的梅蘭妮心中,是否藏著一個渴望,一個想做斯佳麗那樣為所欲為又無拘無束的女子的渴望呢?
人性是矛盾的,這導致我們有時候看上去在某一方面很極端,例如梅蘭妮的善良就達到了一種極致。但人性又是渴望圓融和平衡的,若只有某一個極致,一個人就會失去平衡,所以在這一方面達到極致的人,會和在相反的那一方面達到極致的人莫名其妙地糾纏在一起。所以,梅蘭妮會喜歡斯佳麗,這可以從她第一次見到斯佳麗時找到答案,當時她由衷贊嘆說,斯佳麗,我多麼喜歡你的活力。
艾什利也一樣,他和他生命中最愛的女人,都是儒雅而柔弱的,那麼,斯佳麗又如何不對他構成致命的誘惑呢?但他是那麼善良,而他又是那麼離不開梅蘭妮,所以他最多隻能是和斯佳麗有一吻。
那一吻產生後,梅蘭妮對斯佳麗似乎沒有任何嫉恨。表面上,她說,她相信艾什利和斯佳麗,深層中,是不是她對斯佳麗也有一種渴望?
同樣的,我們會看到,白瑞德對梅蘭妮無比敬重,稱梅蘭妮是他遇見的「唯一真正的好人」。這樣一個「唯一真正的好人」,會平衡他和斯佳麗為所欲為的世界。
其實,可以推測,白瑞德的媽媽,要麼像斯佳麗,要麼像梅蘭妮,而且像斯佳麗的可能性更大一些。看起來,他的宿命,是他成年後和斯佳麗的糾纏,但這種宿命,首先是他和他的媽媽的命運的糾纏。
並且,白瑞德和斯佳麗的命運,從他們第一次相遇就可以看到,這將是一個悲劇。
這是由他們的互動方式所決定的。白瑞德很會刺激斯佳麗,他說,我知道你是什麼樣的女人,你別玩游戲了,你和我一樣自私,我們是一夥的。然而,他又說,我願意寵愛你這樣的女人。
這都是真的,電影和小說中我們看到,白瑞德甘願為斯佳麗付出一切。
但這都只是他內心的一部分。他內心中藏著的另一個答案是,像你這樣的女人,假若我為你付出了一切,你能不能真正愛上我呢?
這是一個沒有完成的願望。他首先在媽媽那裡玩過,假若他的媽媽像斯佳麗一樣自私任性、為所欲為而且有點殘忍,那麼這個願望不可能會實現。
未被完成的願望是一個詛咒,所以他不甘心,所以,等他長大後,他要再找一個像媽媽那樣的女子,再玩一回類似的游戲,希望這次能實現這個沒有完成的願望。
這次,從根本上講,他是完成了的,因為斯佳麗最後明白,她愛的不是艾什利而是白瑞德。
但是,無論梅蘭妮如何澄清,白瑞德是不回相信的,他還是相信,她更愛艾什利多一些。
這是一個自我實現的預言,或許白瑞德在艾什利這種男人面前是自卑的。他原來的家庭中,有這樣一個男人嗎,譬如父親或兄弟?在與這個男人競爭媽媽的愛時,他成功了還是失敗了?
假若是失敗的,那麼在白瑞德看來,這是宿命的重演。
其實,這也是他的追求。當他從歐洲回來,見到斯佳麗的第一句話,就充滿嘲諷,結果,令本來想向他表達滿腹愛意的斯佳麗立即變成了一個刺蝟,他們又一次開始相互傷害,玩起了這種他們不需要學習的游戲。
最後,完全美好的梅蘭妮死了,她盡管虛弱,但她卻是能平衡這四個人的中堅力量,沒有了她,這個錯綜復雜的關系立即崩潰了。
所以,白瑞德才說,他要離開斯佳麗回到家鄉,去尋找美好。梅蘭妮是一個美好,那麼,他家鄉的美好又是誰?他的尋找將要遭遇的,會不會和斯佳麗一樣是一團迷霧?
《亂世佳人》的小說和電影都成了傳奇,感動了無數人,那是不是因為,我們都生活在這種宿命中?我們斟不破自己人生的那團迷霧。
其實,《亂世佳人》也是作者瑪格麗特·米切爾的自傳。小時候,她是梅蘭妮一樣的善解人意的女子,成年後,她變成了斯佳麗。她的第一任丈夫是艾什利一樣的男子,而第二任丈夫則像白瑞德,並且名字也叫瑞德。
並且,她預言自己會死於車禍,而後來果真死於車禍。但車禍到底是偶然發生的,還是她所追求的呢?
假若瑪格麗特·米切爾有現代小說之父卡夫卡的風格,相信她的小說就不只是靠故事打動人,也會多很多哲學式的思考,宿命論會濃厚很多。
這種哲學式的思考,我常常看到,其實不過是對自己人生的一種拔高,或者說是一種逃避。
一個男子對我說,他有一種很深的信仰,他覺得一切都是註定了的,無論他怎麼掙扎,結局都不會改變。
聽起來很哲學,聽起來很宿命,而假若辯論起來,他也極有說服力。但我知道,根本在於,他的父母控制慾望極強,一切都幫他安排好了,他只能接受而不能反抗。
❻ 亂世佳人的英文影評加上中文翻譯
無法不愛他。
坎坷的經歷使他世故,甚至無法真心待人,
但在唯利是圖、憤世嫉俗的外表下,
掩藏著的是一顆能帶給任何人幸福的真心——
他能在最危急的關頭出現在待產的梅蘭妮和無措的斯佳麗面前,
臉上帶著一貫的壞笑,
語氣透著瑞德式的嘲諷。
但是就是這樣一個男人,
用雙臂圈緊近乎崩潰的斯佳麗,
安撫的話語,像溫柔的魔咒,
能讓任何狂躁的靈魂瞬間平靜下來,
能讓任何迷茫的軀體不再無措。
瑞德的魅力就在於,
他渾身上下散發出的成熟男人魅力
和無與倫比的智慧,
但這些都比不上最重要的一點,
那就是,他有一種神奇的力量,能帶給人濃厚的安全感。
有他在,似乎所有事情都可以迎刃而解,
有他在,即使面對一切危難都不必擔心,
他的雙臂是那麼的溫暖有力,
如同最安全的避風港。
這樣的男人,
他的懷中
便是最好的歸宿。 Can't help falling in love with him.
Rough experience made him aware and can't even sincere,
But in mercenary, cynical appearance,
The hidden a star can bring anyone happy really --
He can in the most critical juncture appeared in birth Melanie and panicked scarlett in front,
The face always bad laugh,
Tone appearing rhett type of satire.
But that is such a man,
With your arms to snap ring tight, scarlett
Soothing words, like a soft spells,
Can make any manic soul instant calm down,
Can make any confusion body no longer away.
Rhett's charm lies in,
His whole body and send out the mature man glamour
And incomparable wisdom,
But it all comes down to the most important point,
That is, he has a kind of magic power that will bring people strong sense of security.
Have him on, it seems that all things can be solved,
Have him on, even facing all danger all don't worry about that.
His arms are so powerful, the warm
As the most safe haven.
So of man,
His arms
Is the best end-result.
❼ 求救:專家們哪為告訴我英文版的電影<飄>的影評!!!
你要的是亂世佳人的影評嗎?
Gone with the Wind
Gone with the Wind is a very good movie, perhaps bordering on being great, but its subject matter and running time (which is easily 60 minutes too long) argue against its status as a masterpiece. As for its high placing on the AFI's list... it isn't the only travesty on that roster, but it is one of the most obvious.
Gone with the Wind is, simply put, a tale of two halves. The movie is divided by an intermission into a pair of roughly-equal segments. The first, which is brilliant and consistently captivating, covers the time period of the Civil War, beginning shortly after the election of Abraham Lincoln, and ending ring Sherman's march through Atlanta. The post-intermission half, which dishes out the suds, picks up at the end of the Civil War and concludes about eight years later. This portion of Gone with the Wind, while still retaining a degree of appeal and narrative interest, spins its wheels frequently.
Nevertheless, viewing Gone with the Wind on television pales in comparison to seeing it projected on a motion picture screen. New Line Cinema has chosen to re-release the film (which is now in its sixth major revival) for its 59th anniversary. (Why not wait a year for the 60th?) Anyone who loves movies but has only seen this one on TV or video is heartily encouraged to visit the nearest participating venue. Theatrically, Gone with the Wind is an entirely different experience from its small-screen counterpart; some of the second-half narrative tedium is effaced by the glorious visuals. With a restored three-strip Technicolor print that preserves all of the original's deep, vibrant colors and digitally-enhanced sound, this picture has never looked or sounded better.
Gone with the Wind has one of the best-known storylines of any film, e in large part to the popularity of the source material, Margaret Mitchell's best-selling 1936 book. It's essentially a sumptuous soap opera set around Civil War times in the deep South. The main character is Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh), the spoiled, manipulative daughter of an Irish immigrant plantation owner (Thomas Mitchell, who would later play Uncle Billy in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life). Scarlett has two sisters, but she is by far the most spirited of the three O'Hara girls, and her father, seeing her as his successor, teaches her lessons about the importance of the land. "It's the only thing that lasts... the only thing worth fighting for," he comments in the face of war.
Scarlett is secretly in love with Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), who is about to marry the gentle, demure Melanie Hamilton (Olivia De Havilland). When Scarlett confesses her love to Ashley, he admits his feelings for her, but notes that Melanie will make a much better wife. Immediately after this meeting, Scarlett has her first encounter with the irrepressible Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), the cynical, smart hero who eventually falls in love with her. They are two headstrong likes who simultaneously repel and attract one another. When Scarlett remarks, "You, Sir, are no gentleman," Rhett's smiling, easy response is, "And you're no lady."
The bulk of the film follows a romantic quadrangle as it unfolds against the backdrop of war and reconstruction in and around Atlanta and the O'Hara plantation, Tara. Scarlett is in love with Ashley, or thinks she is, but he won't leave his wife. Melanie loves both her husband and Scarlett, who improbably becomes her best friend. Rhett is smitten with Scarlett, and she is clearly interested in him, but the real question is how long it will take for her to recognize the depth of her feelings. Ultimately, when Rhett has finally had enough, he walks out of her life after answering "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" to her plaintive query about what she's supposed to do without him.
The pre-intermission portion of Gone with the Wind, which runs about 115 minutes, is glorious from both a visual and an emotional standpoint. It's a grand tale of love and loss in the midst of this country's most bitter war. Most importantly, it shows Scarlett's development from a vain, spoiled brat into a hardened, determined young woman. Her relationship with Rhett is there, but kept carefully in the background. There is sadness, humor, and a number of breathtaking shots of Scarlett silhouetted against a reddish sunset or the backdrop of Atlanta in flames. The film's most lingering image -- that of thousands of Confederate wounded paving an Atlanta street -- occurs ring this part of the movie.
The second half, with its repetitive concentration on Scarlett's back-and-forth, do-I-love-him-or-not relationship with Rhett, is less successful. This stuff is real soap opera material, and, even as well- acted and well-presented as the narrative is, there's no mistaking it for anything else. If it didn't run on for so long, it would be a lot more bearable, but Gone with the Wind threatens to wear out its welcome long before the end title appears. The problem is that the bulk of the story is really told in the first half, so there's a lot of filler in the post-intermission material.
Gone with the Wind stands as a romantic monument to the Old South -- an homage to an era and a lifestyle long gone. The opening title states: "There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind." This clearly illustrates where the film's sympathies lies, and it isn't with the often-grim plight of the slaves (in fact, slavery is largely treated as a neutral, or even benevolent, institution).
One of the tests of the lasting impact of any film is determining whether it's still effective decades after its initial release. Gone with the Wind looks so good that it is surprising to consider its actual age. It's hard to believe that many of the people involved with this film have long since died. Of course, period pieces should not be constrained by the era in which they're made, only by the one in which they're set. The storyline, while "progressive" and "modern" for the 1930s, is a little tame for the 1990s (hence the MPAA's "G" rating), but, in its three-dimensional depiction of Scarlett and Rhett, it's rarely naive. The dialogue is often brilliant, and some of the Rhett/Scarlett exchanges are particularly clever. Gone with the Wind avoids becoming hopelessly maudlin by peppering the lengthy storyline with a variety of lively and humorous sequences.
Probably as much has been written about Scarlett and Rhett as about Casablanca's Rick and Ilsa. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable were perfectly cast in the leading roles -- she was a relative unknown who was "discovered" almost by accident after an exhaustive casting period; he was an established idol. They fit together perfectly, and, while their chemistry isn't as overwhelming as that of Bogart and Bergman, it's pretty close. As with all couples, their glances and body language say as much or more than their words, and, especially in Scarlett's case, are always more truthful. The characters are fascinating, both on their own and in their interaction with each other. Scarlett is a devious manipulator with a dangerous charm (beware her when she bats her eyelashes); Rhett sees through her at every turn, but, even as smart as he is, he can't help falling for her.
There are a number of noteworthy supporting players. The two with the most screen time (aside from Gable and Leigh) are Leslie Howard and Olivia De Havilland. Both portray low-key characters, but do it so well that we develop a deep sympathy for them and their plight. When it comes to the games of the heart engaged in by Scarlett and Rhett, Ashley and Melanie are out of their league. Another standout is Hattie McDaniel, whose brilliant Mammy (the housekeeper at Tara) steals scenes from the more prominent characters. McDaniel brings Mammy to life, and, while she's not three-dimensional, she's real. Mammy is also evidence that Gone with the Wind was capable of transcending (at least in part) the too-easy black stereotypes that were in evidence ring the 1930s.
When discussing the creative forces behind Gone with the Wind, one rarely hears the name of Victor Fleming (The Wizard of Oz), the credited director. (He was actually one of four men to helm the project.) Instead, Gone with the Wind is referred to as "a David O. Selznick Proction," because Selznick was the driving force behind the movie's development. As Procer or Executive Procer, Selznick was instrumental in making over 50 films, including titles like King Kong, A Tale of Two Cities, A Star Is Born, Rebecca, Spellbound, and The Third Man. With four directors, over a dozen uncredited screenwriters, and several cinematographers, Selznick proved to be the creative glue that held Gone with the Wind together. This was his child -- an obsession that consumed him for years.
To date, no film has sold more box-office tickets than Gone with the Wind. Domestically, the tally almost doubles that for the phenomenally-popular Titanic. Of course, when the movie was first released, it wasn't just another motion picture -- it was a spectacle, an event. Even though the habits of movie- goers have changed over the years, it's easy to see why this film provoked such an outpouring of praise and alation ring its initial release, and why its stature has grown with the passage of decades. Gone with the Wind has flaws, but it's still undeniably a classic and a legend.

This film shows the best of the American cinema. Whether we like the film, or not, one has to recognize the greatest achievement, perhaps, of the creative talent of the people working in the movie instry. "Gone with the Wind" represents a monumental leap, as well as a departure, for the movies, as they were done prior to this film.
The vision of David O. Selznick, the power behind bringing Margaret Mitchell's massive account about the South, before and after the Civil War, pays handsomely with the film that Victor Fleming directed. This movie will live forever because it reminds us of how this great nation came into being, despite the different opinions from the two stubborn factions in the war.
"Gone with the Wind" brought together the best people in Hollywood. The end result is the stunning film that for about four hours keep us interested in the story unfolding in the screen. Of course, credit must be e to the director, Victor Fleming, and his vision, as well as the adaptation by Sydney Howard, who gave the right tone to the film. The gorgeous cinematography created by Ernest Haller gives us a vision of the gentle South before the war, and the Phoenix raising from the ashes of a burned Atlanta. The music of Max Steiner puts the right touch behind all that is seen in the movie.
One can't conceive another Scarlett O'Hara played by no one, but Vivien Leigh. Her beauty, her sense of timing, her intelligent approach to this role, makes this a hallmark performance. Ms. Leigh was at the best moment of her distinguished career and it shows. Scarlett goes from riches to rags, back to riches again and in the process finds an inner strength she didn't know she possessed. Her impossible love for Ashley will consume her and will keep her away from returning the love to the man that really loves her, Rhett.
The same thing applies to the Rhett Butler of Clark Gable. No one else comes to mind for playing him with the passion he projects throughout the movie. This is a man's man. Captain Butler was torn between his loyalty to the cause of the South and his sense of decency. His love for Scarlett, the woman he knows is in love with a dream, speaks eloquently for itself.
The other two principals, Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard, give performances that are amazing to watch. Ms. de Havilland's Melanie Hamilton is perfect. Melanie is loyal to the woman that does everything to undermine her marriage to Ashley. Mr. Howard's Ashley gives a perfect balance to the man in love with his wife, while Scarlett keeps tempting him.
The rest of the cast is too numerous to make justice to all the actors one sees on the screen, but omitting the contribution of Hattie McDaniel to the film would be sinful. Ms. McDaniel was such a natural actress that she is excellent no matter in what movie she is playing. This huge talent is a joy to watch.
Comments to this forum express their objections to the way the race relations play in the movie, but being realistic, this movie speaks about the not too distant past where all kinds of atrocities, such as the slavery, were the norm of the land. While those things are repugnant to acknowledge, in the film, they are kept at a minimum. After all, this film is based on a book by one of the daughters of that South, Margaret Mitchell, who is presenting the story as she saw it in her mind, no doubt told to her from relatives that lived in that period of a horrible page in the American history.
Enjoy this monumental classic in all its splendor.
