Movie Reviews of Gone with the Wind (Two-Disc Edition)
Movie Review: As good as the Book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this movie.. it's a classic and it stays very true to the book. It's a great movie and you can watch it in two sittings if you don't want to sit through the whole thing at once. Movie Review: My Favorite Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is my favorite movie of all time, and every time that I watch it, I notice something new about it that I like. The movie centers around a woman, Scarlett O'Hara. Her life is depicted from when she was a young lady before the Civil War had begun to her entrance into womanhood after the war was over. Besides the changes in Scarlett during this time, you can also see the changes in environment, civilization, social interactions, and American culture. I like the way Margaret Mitchell adapted this parallelism in her book and am glad that got translated into the movie. The title of the movie is ever so appropriate as the civilization that Scarlett knew growing up is forever "gone with the wind". I would recommend this movie to everyone to watch as I consider it a true classic. I also love the costume and set design! The gowns Vivien Leigh worn in the movie are true masterpieces. Walter Plunkett did an amazing job in their design. The set design, from the burning of Atlanta scene to the amazing decor in Scarlett and Rhett's home is truly something to behold. The set design and costume design came together in the infamous dress Scarlett wore made from her homestead Tara's curtains. Those interested in the Civil War and history from that time period can also enjoy the historical elements of the movie. The movie is long in length (3 hours 39 minutes), but an intermission is included that allows for a break in the action. The music during the intermission allows the viewer time to ponder what has happened in the movie so far and think about what is yet to come. The ending of the movie is the best cliffhanger of all times. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I have. Movie Review: I am not going to say it
Summary: 4 Stars
Since this is one of the all time great movies, most tickets sold, a gazillion amazon reviews, etc., I will not say what the Amazon reviewer said about the first half being excellent and the second half somewhat drags. I will not say it since it has already been said. Too bad the condensed book division of Reader's Digest did not put out a 3 hour version of this movie. I had to wait nearly four hours to hear Clarke Gable utter his famous line, "Frankly my dear, I did not build that dam."
I did enjoy the movie, especially the first two hours. I did make it thru the flik, less about a 20 minute nap during part two (just like what happens to me each time I attempt Dr. Zhivago).
Movie Review: Why did they have to butcher the greatest book of all time?
Summary: 1 Stars
No matter how long this movie is it still wasn't long enough to be true to the book. How could they cut two of Scarlett's children? I'm so glad I read the book first because if I'd seen this mess first I probably never would have bothered. The book was just cut to pieces. And this movie is a classic? Vivian Leigh was a terrible Scarlett. I could hardly stand to watch her. This movie was overacted and just plain terrible. Read the book instead. At least then you get the whole, complete story.Movie Review: Every view is a pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
Every viewing of this treasure brings new insights and appreciation of the production of this movie. The extras helped me see the familiar characters in a brighter light. The tinny sound of past releases that I have seen is gone and in its place is a fuller more pleasant aural experience.
