In my opinion, I believe that the film,
Gone With the Wind, which falls under the Drama category of genres is a 6 out of 10. I give it this ranking for the reason that it is just too slow for me, although I do have to say, for an older film (made in 1939) it was pretty entertaining. Another note to be known is that it was done in Technicolor, which is only two colors, red and green.
The director of this film is Victor Fleming (born in 1889 and dying in 1949), he is known for some other movies including
The Wizard of Oz,
Captains Courageous, and
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The writing credits of this film go to Margaret Mitchell who wrote the novel, and Sidney Howard for writing the screenplay. The main actors of this film include: Vivien Leigh (Scarlett), Hattie McDaniel (Mammy), Leslie Howard (Ashley), Olivia de Havilland (Melanie), and Clark Gable (Rhett Butler).
Some memorable quotes from this film would incl
ude: "As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again." which was said by Scarlett, "You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail." Rhett,and "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Rhett Butler.
Without going into too much detail, I'll give you a general idea of the plot. It starts out at a Barbecue, where Scarlett tells of her love of Ashley, and meets Rhett. The civil war starts, and it's obvious that the south is losing, as you can tell from Scarlett's struggles. Scarlett is the main focus of the film and she jumps from protagonist to antagonist throughout the film.
All I have left to say is that frankly, this film had it's ups and downs, but overall, it ended up being an alright film.
Thank you imdb.com for the information.
