Movie Reviews of Gone with the Wind (Two-Disc Edition)

Movie Review: Over Wrought
Summary: 4 Stars

I've seen Gone With the Wind many, many times. Each additional time I've seen it it gets worse. The acting is often over stated, and the casting is sometimes questionable, as well. Could it have hurt the producers to have used real Americans to play Americans in an American made movie about Americans? Clark Gable is awesome as Rhett Butler, and the buck stops there. But the worst problems with GWtW is it insipid portrayal of Blacks, its racist tones, and its shabby reflection on history. Scarlett O'Hara is not a likable character. Up until the final curtain, she's continually selfish and self-centered. Four hours of Scarlett is about 3.5 hours too much.

Movie Review: Great purpose
Summary: 5 Stars

This film took some leaps and really put its lead out there when he said, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. Nice acting as well with a powerful story.

Movie Review: ...And Still Champion
Summary: 5 Stars

There are great movies and each generation has its favorite...very few stand the test of time, so let me begin by saying--This is the greatest movie ever made! There have been other great movies loved by movie aficionados, critics and the casual fan--but not like this one and not for such duration of time. If you have not seen this movie, it is the one movie you must see. The color, the cinematography, the pastoral sets, the Burning of Atlanta the creative juxtaposing of scenes and characters; these are all integral parts of an American masterpiece. There are so many individual great scenes; wonderfully crafted and beautifully acted, the movie must be seen to be appreciated. If you appreciate American literature, or American history or just a damn good story this movie is for you. It spans the period before, during and after the greatest conflict in our nation's history. The magnitude of that epic struggle is vividly portrayed. The casting is perfect, the acting is flawless; whether it is a major character or a minor character; they all are what a reader of the novel could expect. All in all there has never been a greater movie.
