Review of Gone with the Wind (1939) by Brendan N — 05 Feb 2018
This is the ultimate film and one that will shine in Hollywood forever. The scale is amazing, the story is relenting and the characters remain true throughout. That classic end scene exchange with Rhett and Scarlett is amazing, leaving you with something iconic.
The sheer scope of the film is a massive undertaking, I watched this in one sitting, not for the average film goer as it was four hours. Gable and Leigh shine in the lead roles, you are almost tricked to discover that Leigh is the front and centre actor of the film, classic Hollywood had the man as the lead role.
I wish they still made epic films of this scope, the last I can think of is Titanic. We have traded storytelling for blockbusters and I think it is a shame, this has so much depth and character development that new films fail to capture.
If you see one classic film in your life time, let this film be it. 04-02-2018.
