One of the Best Movies That I have Seen

Tweet

I recently bought the DVD version of Gone With The Wind and, finally, was able to watch it last night. To my surprise, my husband who prefers action than drama, watched it with me. And he really enjoyed it too!I remember watching it the first time in the Philippines, when I was in highschool, my parents loved this film and back then we did not have DVD's, just betamax (if anyone can recall it- this is prior to VHS). Anyway, our betamax machine would overheat due to watching 4 films at a time...lol. 10 years ago, my husband bought me the VHS version as a gift, but I never finished it, because my daughter was still a baby, so I cannot sit and watch a whole film (average film is 1.5-2hrs) so much more Gone With The Wind which is more than 3 hours long...I think it is almost 4 hours. My favorite part is when Scarlett O'hara (played by Vivien Leigh) looked up into the sky, with her fist closed saying "As God is my witness I will never go hunry again,..." That line was a classic. This showed how determined and strong-willed the main character was. The determination that made her successful in regaining their stature in society lost during the Civil War. I will definitely watch this over and over again, because it truly takes you back into that era...as if you are living it with them. I know that there is a sequel film, but since the sequel was made decades after the original, I, personally, do not think it can ever do justice to the original film. I think it is best to leave it alone, and let the audience be captivated and make their own conclusions and/or continuance of the story. For me, I think they still (Scarlett and Rhett) ended up together after all..."Tomorrow is another day".
