Gone with the Wind-Rhett carrying Scarlett up stairs.avi

[PiecesOfRainbow7]

Hot, not gonna lie.

[Kari166]

RAPE

[Musicelle1]

What exactly does Rhett say at 0:21 ?

[funboy7979]

What a difference a rape makes ...

[leeza2007]

damn..he took 2 steps at a time LOL

[DrBCorwen]

@colinmochriesbuddy Never been much of a left-brainer anyway. :'<

[DrBCorwen]

@colinmochriesbuddy My reply is below, this. Thanks for sharing your tidbits anyway. : )

[DrBCorwen]

I'm sorry I find it hard to ignore of their relationship with one another. I can't help but think the thrashing and protesting on Scarlett's part was stubborness, at least in this clip. I would only agree with you, if the clip ended with Scarlett making her escape from the estate that morning with her daughter perhaps. It's just not rape overall. And also I can't help but bring the author's intent of who the both of them are as a couple, but whatever. Interpret however you like. So no more. >_>

[teenovels]

 rape makes everything better! (but only if its with Rhett BUTlar)

[DrBCorwen]

I disagree that it was rape, it is implied in the following scene of Scarlett being particularly pretty happy the next morning and sharing it with Mammy how lovely she was feeling.

[colinmochriesbuddy]

@DrBCorwen

You make the mistake of thinking in our current day frame of gender construction. In that time, the female role was widely accepted as submissive, and much like children, not knowing what's best for them. The men in women's lives made the decisions for them: their fathers in upbringing and education, their husbands in sexual and family life. It was assumed that men knew best, and no one challenged it-- not even the women, who had internalized the imposed roles as natural.

[DrBCorwen]

@colinmochriesbuddy So are you saying Scarlett was raped? Wasn't detailed in the book that she eventually embraced and kissed this man after he whisked her up the stairs? Like one of the top comments stated, I agreed that it was basically some thrilling hate sex. IDK, ScarlettxRhett seemed almost like an exception to past overall views of women during that time period based on what was shown of their interaction between one another in the film.

[colinmochriesbuddy]

@DrBCorwen

If this was shown in the film, that would make a difference. But it wasn't, and we're talking about this scene from the movie, or we wouldn't be posting here. What happened in the book is irrelevant. The movie shows an angry drunk man forcibly carrying an unwilling woman, thrashing and protesting, to have sex with her whether she wanted to or not, hence the concern.

Think to yourself: even in the book, would Rhett have stopped if Scarlett continued to protest?

[ChicBookFiend]

@DrBCorwen I agree. It wasn't rape at all. This was the nature of their relationship, and the smile on Scarlett's face the next morning says it all.

[tadeywadey]

Uhh. Scarlet didn't want to. So, RAPE.

[tadeywadey]

When I first saw this, I was so scared cause I hate seeing woman getting beaten or raped. Then when it went balack and Scarlett's singing, I figured the went upstairs and he rubbed her feet or something!

[handal1973]

Wow ! It's a pink night mare !

[rosabaca21]

It's not rape guys so get over it!

[Estelle5388]

*night before* Scarlett: Rhett! No!! It's rape!

*next morning* Scarlett: Ahh.. -content sigh- Boy, I do love being raped by THAT man.

[bykarti]

Not rape u idiots,but LOVE. Oh,God... *facepalm*

[sirre94]

I would really enjoy it if Rhett Butler would force me to sleep with him. Dam,n I would give everything to be Scarlett :D

[Herbielondon]

This is NOT rape. How can it be? She is so happy in the morning - and in the book she starts kissing him back. At the very most it is sexual assault (ie he forces her to kiss him - but he did this before when he left her on the road to Tara) - but it is not rape!

[sakurasfullofcats]

rape for all!

[scorpio3671]

Rett Butler is the SEXYEST MAN EVER!!!

[doox420]

RAPE

[meryldepp]

You can call me weirdy girl but I wouldn't mind being forced to sleep with Rhett Butler :D so funny how she's spent a lovely night hahaha

[Ilovemusicanddance10]

I want a man like Rhett Butler to carry me up the stairs. 

[rosabaca21]

Scarlett gotta stretch those aching bones from last night!

[shoptilludrop1]

In an interview Vivien Leigh said that during the filming of Gone With the Wind, Clark Gable tried to rape her. This is completely true, Google it ;)

[CressidaTussaud]

@shoptilludrop1 I read about that!!! O_o

[goldenfilly]

@shoptilludrop1 everytime u google something u its the same as boiling 2 kettles, the same amount of energy

[shoptilludrop1]

@goldenfilly i can live with that

[Ilovemusicanddance10]

@shoptilludrop1 but I read that she was a nymphomaniac. I heard that Clark was just "being overheated" although I don't know what that means. But maybe vivien Leigh was also provoking him. Who knows? I just know that Vivien Leigh was notorious for being a nymphomaniac. 

[shoptilludrop1]

@Ilovemusicanddance10 Yeh, i read that as well, but i think that came later in her life- during her marriage to Laurence Olivier. Also, if she was a nymphomaniac at that time, why would she say no? And to Clark Gable of all people...

[Ilovemusicanddance10]

@shoptilludrop1 very true. But both of them do make a good pair.

[Herbielondon]

Is it me or does anyone else think this is a pretty racy scene for a 1939 movie? They had so much more trouble using the word "damn" but I think this is just as much controversial for the times. Such a sexy scene and so obviously not rape...

[MrsDowney1020]

Rhett could rape me allll night ;)

[bisquit9230]

i love this scence its so romatic in a strange way cause you can see how much it hurts rhett that scarlett loves another man. Rhett just wants scarlett to want him and love him.

[AvaMcLoeriitho0o0]

@bisquit9230 I think deep down she loves him though. Without knowing it or admitting it because she thinks he's not a proper man to love (and he does his best to be the most irritating fellow). That's the impression I got from reading the book anyway :)

[raigekimaru]

if someone did this these days, a lawsuit would be filed, the man would be branded as a sex offender and would thrown in jail....I hate America >.>

[MadsAndersen1]

I'm a man, at least insofar that I have a penis, but even I would let Clark Gable carry me up the stairs.

[Billhope1974]

@MadsAndersen1 

[khokhar1969]

@MadsAndersen1 hahahahahaha!!! clark gable has that affect!!!

[sweetlildevil101]

I laughed my ass off at how he 'won' her over

[lynassd]

My my, Scarlett looks like she has had a satisfying sleep. :P

[Uvia456]

I remember watching this movie and wow. Such a long movie and an amazing one at that!

Question though: Didn't Rhett want a boy insted of Bonnie?

Just asking.....

[TwoTube2]

Rhett getting all rapey.

[LaBelleParisienne1]

In the book, Scarlett gives in almost immediately, and it's the best night of her life.

[butterbeanbby95]

I would of rip da clothes off his sexy ass ... She's a happy camper I would of woke up happy as hell 2

[arthermcload]

no means yes?



[khokhar1969]

@JDlamusique :) all analyses are welcome. i can never hear enough about my favorite book and Rhett Butler!!! do you think she will win him back?

[YourOasis97]

@khokhar1969 well in the official sequel she does. apparently, many critics didn't like it which is weird cos the critical praise for it was included in the book's pages. and i loved it. it's called Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind by Alexandra Ripley.

[khokhar1969]

@ DeathByBlunderbuss

@PeaceLovePink.......it wasnt rape and it wasnt hate sex either. rhett was crazily in love with scarlett and she loved him too but was too arrogant to admit it. when he jumps on her that night she loves every minute . next day she is happy that he has confessed his love but so ashamed of her own reactions to him....he on the other hand is angry that he gave himself away and continues to treat her shabbily

[JDlamusique]

@khokhar1969

I'm not sure if it was arrogance on her part. Perhaps, it was fear of giving in and giving away her feelings, hence making herself vulnerable. And, as you've already pointed out, that's what we see on Rhett's part as well.

[LucidDivinity]

That house is beautiful! So is Scarlet's dress!

[zerkKO]

i am 100% sure that the sex tape is somewhere on the web and at least 3255 people are downloading it as i type this comment.

[PeaceLovePink223]

they have sex right? will doesnt that count as like..rape?

[midnightmaniclk92]

@PeaceLovePink223 It's not rape if she enjoys it :S

[iamhotstuff100]

this is the only part i wish they made more like the book because it's longer and theres more passion in the book, like for example in the book he grabs her and the top of her dress comes loose revealing her shoulders, and then he carrys her part way up the stairs kisses her and then she kisses him back...THEN he takes her all the way up...not that im complaining i still love this part

[CatEyes611]

I want a man like that and this scene kind of turns me on

[DarkAerisful]

He is THE man. I want him! >.<

[regulators88]

I still can't believe that Clark Gable didn't want to do this movie!

"It's not that easy Scarlett!"

[sanjac07]

@regulators88 He said he didn't want to do it because he feared not living up to everyones expectations. It is understandable since everyone in America at the time wanted him to portray Rhett.

[regulators88]

@sanjac07 True. I watched the making of GWTW and someone said that about him. Whenever we do a play at schhol, I always feel that I did a horrible job, but in the end; they always love it!

But thank God he did do it!

It just wouldn't be right if someone else did it!

[iamhotstuff100]

hot damn... rhett (clark) is soo attractive and seductive. and scarlett (vivien) is just gorgeous

[regulators88]

I wish that I could've been Vivien Leigh in that scene. To go upstairs and have Rhett (Clark Gable really) "rape" me! He knew how to satisfy Scarlett.

I wish that Margaret Mitchell would have written a sequel to Gone With The Wind. So we would know what happened to Scarlett, Rhett, Pitty-Patt, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen and Careen, and all the others. and to see if Rhett and Scarlett had any more babies.

[hopeleannad]

@regulators88 There is an authorized novel of Rhett Butler called "Rhett Butler's People" written by Donald McCaig that delves into Rhett's childhood, travels, when he meets Scarlett, and what happens after he leaves her. You can find it in any bookstore. Hope that helps!:)

[regulators88]

@hopeleannad I actually own the book and I've read it twice. it's pretty good too. There's another book called Scarlett The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's GONE WITH THE WIND by Alexandria Ripley. It's pretty good too, but it doesn't match up with Rhett Butler's People.

I can't help that I'm a Southerner and love my Southern books, people, and heritage. My name is actually Scarlett. My dad named me after Scarlett O'Hara. And I think I got some Irish in me to cause I love land.

[needles1987]

@regulators88 If you wanted it to happen, then it wouldn't be rape.

[regulators88]

@needles1987 Which is why I put rape in quotations. I wouldn't think it to be rape!

If you ever read the book you would understand that both Rhett and Scarlett wanted that to happen. Hence the way Scarlett acts the morning after!

[mrsrochester10]

I wish they still made men as devastatingly gorgeous and talented as Clark Gable ;)

[HerSecretEscape]

raaaaaaappppppppeeeeeee

[lara0522]

i just had sex....and it felt so good

[animeeclipse]

That is one satisfied woman, I must say.

[coco22mototo]

I'm in love with Rhett Butler <3

[DeathByBlunderbuss]

wow there was hate sex back in those days?

[TravoltaNewtonJohn]

@DeathByBlunderbuss It's just she did no want a child. If you're a man, you can't understand it.

[probablytoolate]

going to bed angry

[fanofmussic]

I love love this scene..

[lilah66]

someone looks awfully satisfied 00:38 lol

[cefanine]

i know that it's attractif but i hate man like him.

[totaltwinconnection2]

hell yeah!

[MsBatista85]

THIS SCENE SINGLE HANDEDLY MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH RHETT BUTLER AND GWTW.

[jimmyb227]

No doubt about it- hands down, my favorite scene from my favorite movie! It does not get any better than this!

[deppJD3]

RAPE!! ---> Nah XD

[EngagedatCamp]

I don't know...because she's married .... to CLARK GABLE!!!

[MikroBadass]

so why is she not traumatized from the rape?

[meryldepp]

haha she's not traumatized because she maybe kind of wanted it too lol. I don't think he was so violent with her.. I love her expression like she is satisfied lol 

[OutfieldAngel77]

@MikroBadass It's a movie? It's her husband? She wanted it too? It's Clark Gable/Rhett Butler? Back in those days they didn't have shelters, counselors or hot lines? Two stubborn people who were passionate for one another had to come to this to get it done? One or all of the above?

[spookygirl85]

@MikroBadass She wasn't raped. Read the book. :)

[UofLCardFan90]

@MikroBadass Haha, I don't think it was rape for very long.
