Now here is a movie that should be left alone and not remade ever. It's perfect as it is. No need to remake it. Just look at what happened to my favorite horror movie "HALLOWEEN" (in my opinion the "Gone With The Wind" of horror movies) when it was remade... the remake was SHIT.

@harrybythesea Haha! Well that's ok if you think so. I was simply adding my thoughts to an old discussion. I'm a professional astrologer. Thankfully for you, people with short attention spans and poor reading skills aren't obligated to read them.
I bet the small pillow she sits on smells rebelicious! The O'hara's probably had a porch maid wash and replace it every afternoon before Scarlett relaxed and flirted with her beaux.
@harrybythesea Ironic that you would find all our astrology talk "boring" and "rubbish" when you inserted your own poorly written opinion that Scarlett was Aries. What a stupid fool. Run along now little gay Harry. Don't miss Remedial English this time.
@harrybythesea How was I being mean? Scarlett wanted Ashey, yes, but only because he was the one man who didn't want her back. They were nothing alike. She reaizes this in the end and understands that she never would have been happy with him. She loved Rhett all along.
@harrybythesea From my understanding of astrology, strong-will is a Taurus trait, not an Aries one. Of course, there's no definitive proof that she was either. I'm just speculating, as you are. However, there is evidence that Ashley was Aries because his birthday party took place at or around April 16th in the book.
@vindinArges Yes, but in this latter age of cinema, we appear to have lost somewhat of the glamour of Ann Margaret and the verve of Lauren Bacall and the forwardness of K. Hepburn, and the manly presence of Charlton Heston, or Clarke Gable and many more, now, almost unknowns, . . .

No, Paulette Goddard couldn't pull off the youthful, spoiled persona that was Scarlett that Vivien was able to do so naturally. It came off as manipulative charm, which, I think, was the essence of Scarlett. Vivien was the right choice!

I love that she doesn't want a war. For once, someone who thinks about more than shooting up the enemy... even if it is about getting hitched and pretty dresses.
I have always wondered how the Tarleton Twins would have decided which one of them would have proposed to Scarlett. Obviously, they could not both do so. In the book, their mother suggests they would have to move to Utah Territory, but that would not work, because the Mormons never allowed a woman to have multiple husbands!

It's amazing how many women (who likely have never read the book), profess to idolize the character of Scarlett O'Hara when a good 90% of women usually tend to hate spoiled, manipulative, gold-digging, intellectually bankrupt whores like her in reality. Quite the hypocrites if you ask me. The only upside to the situation is that if Scarlett O'Hara were a real individual, given her attitude, the feeling would likely be mutual.

Rhett and Scarlett wouldn’t have been happy even if she had gotten over Ashley sooner, because for all his glib cynicism, Rhett yearns for understanding from the woman he loves. He loves Scarlett as Scarlett, yet he wants her to love him the way Melanie does Ashley, as futile as expecting a cat to be a dog. Because she cannot understand herself or others, Scarlett will never be really happy, while Melanie was content with her lot and found real happiness in the love she had for others.
But role model? Scarlett is a tragic hero.Spoiled and selfish, she is doomed even more by a fatal lack of self-knowledge.Mitchell describes Scarlett as interacting with others as she would a math formula. Do this, get this result. What goes on in someone’s head, hers or another’s, she neither understands nor cares. Scarlett isn’t capable of empathy. Feelings, yes. She does love Rhett, Bonnie, Melanie, Tara, and those she sees as kin. She loves on an elemental level, but she can’t relate to them.
There’s something in her that inspires Melanie’s faith that goes so much deeper than her shallow infatuation with Ashley. I love her strength, her resilience, her ability to survive where others fail, and even more so for the way she pulls her entire family right through with her. I confess, when things are going really wrong in my life, I find a great deal of comfort watching Scarlett’s return to Tara. At least the Yankee army hasn’t burned my land and nobody’s got Typhoid Fever, I tell myself.
Reading the comments, I find myself in the middle of the Scarlett debate. I love Scarlett. In fact, I would argue her to be the single greatest heroine in all American literature. It’s far more more than her ability to attract men that makes her so compelling. She has this spirit that is just irresistible, even at her worst. She is the favorite child of both her parents, as well as of Mammy (for all that she failed to turn out the perfect lady Mammy so wanted).
@hatelizwebber Do you seriously believe that Vivien Leigh would have gotten this role if Elizabeth Taylor had been old enough to be considered!! I THINK NOT
I do think Vivien was a better actress than Liz, so yes I do. The looks have nothing to do with it. I do think she was prettier than Liz, but that has nothing to do with the role.
@allyjohn30 Elizabeth Taylor (RIP) was no where NEAR Vivien's beauty and talent. NO WHERE NEAR. Liz Taylor was more of a sex symbol than an actress. Vivien was an ACTRESS, a woman who was a true talent. Liz Taylor was just there. Also, Scarlett had GREEN eyes, that was a huge part of her charm. Liz's eyes werent green. So yes, Vivien would have gotten this role.
@MsRussianBeauty Scarlett had blue eyes and Elizabeth had violet, they were very similar in beauty. But to diminish Elizabeth as an actress if foolish, Elizabeth won TWO oscars and if you doubt her ability to act, watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She was 30 playing a 5o year old shrewish alcoholic
@gy3462 Scarlett, in the book had green eyes. That was one of her main features. Vivian herself had blueish green eyes but they were mostly green...which is one of reasons she was cast as Scarlett. Im not diminishing Liz's acting, but she would have never been able to play Scarlett, NO ONE would ever be able to play Scarlett like Vivian did. Vivian also won two Oscars but made quarter of the movies Liz has.
@MsRussianBeauty Vivien's eyes were actually blue.Selznick's team used yellow lighting ,green eyeshadow,and reflective green costumes to make them appear green,though they still look blue throughout the whole film.I personally thought Ava Gardner would have been ideal for the part,as she had green eyes and was from the south,but she'd have been only 17 at the time and wasn't an actress yet.I agree with you that Liz Taylor was way overrated,though.
@sns21274 You are right. When she was little her eyes were more of an aqua color but when she grew older her eyes are def blue & in most scenes its obvious. But it was easy to make em look green & she has some green in her eyes, unlike Liz whose eyes were downright violet. Hmm I always Ava Gardner had brown eyes, no? I love Ava, but I dont think she would have pulled being Scarlett, she didnt have that "IT fire that Miss O'Hara did IMO.
@MsRussianBeauty guess that´s a matter of opinion. you´re not stating a fact. you´re stating your opinion. don´t make it sound like a fact if it isn´t. i don´t really care who is pretty and who isn´t - they were all amazing. -.-
@Lilithly I never said I was stating a fact. I think no one will ever compare to this woman. Not Liz Taylor, not anyone else. However, I do think its a fact that Vivien was born to play this role and no one would have done this role like she has.
@MsRussianBeauty My dear, my sweet one, just so you know THE TRUE HOLLYWOOD E STORY, Vivian Leigh had light blue eyes. What David O'Selznick did was use a filter with a light green tint over it to make her eyes look pea green, especially on the close up scene in the latter half of the film (when they are Aunt Pittypat's house waiting on Rhett to get Ashley home safetly). I just thought you should know my dear one.
Can you believe Scarlett's name was ment to be Pansy? great balls of fire I say! And when the studios were looking for actresses only 1 person suggested Vivien Leigh and he was from New Zealand, my home country. fiddle dee dee. I wouldn't have chosen her though I would have chosen Sylvia Sidney, Joan Crawford or perhaps Claudette Colbert. (3 of the other options) they even had the gall to suggest Bette Davis, but luckily she refused because she'd already played a southern belle in Jezebel.
@MsRussianBeauty actually i agree that vivien was perfect for the role, but her eyes were actually blue. the film was manipulated and colored so that her eyes would look green.
I know that its funny but I know the girl that is very similar from appearance to Vivien Leigh and there are a lot of guys including me that really like her
I don't get it..people say she had green eyes, but gone with the wind was shot in color, and her eyes looked pure blue..were they modified in post-production, or something?
@aimsren Really?? Ive seen it over 30 times (3 times on the big screen). Its an amazing film. I never get tired of it. I have to be in the mood to see it, though.
This movie is a true Cinema classic. I am an A/A and am not at all offended which is a testimate to it's geneous. Credit must go where due. Bottom line.
Also, people judge her based only in this scene/the early scenes. Look at her DURING THE WAR scenes when she finds her mom is dead. She has to take care of the family now. She married her sister's boyfriend only to keep Tara. Suellen was the true selfish one. She would have moved to Atlanta with Frank and forgotten about her family @ Tara. Scarlett behaved like a man of the time - she ran a lumber business and provided for her family financially. What is so selfish about that ?
She's horribly selfish and lacks all the decency which is most important- compassion, thoughtfulness, generosity and kindness. She's courageous and strong, but more of an anti-hero than someone to really aspire to or look up to. Also, I resent the implication that only women can look up to women characters and men can only look up to male characters. I don't feel "lucky" to have Scarlett O-selfish-Hara to "learn from". In fact I find that quite patronising. I guess ymmv. ;)
(I meant "I wish my girl had HALF of her personality) ... well I do look up to Scarlett, as a man who likes women, I have my taste... I'm not saying you should learn from her personality, only check out how men gravitate to her! I know, it's a film... but it happens also in the real world. You could be kind and caring but not be boring as MELANIE!
=) I agree, but kind and boring trumps strong and selfish in the real world, imho. Thanks for clarifying that you didn't mean her personality. I think men gravitate towards her despite her personality, rather than because of it (they only care that she's very beautiful on the outside, regardless of what's on the inside). You can't really learn external beauty.
@SparkyCola3 ..READ the book! In the movie, you have to look underneath the exterior. Scarlett was not selfish. Everything she did was for her family. She matured after her mother died during the War. Women in the 1860's could not work like men did, so Scarlett married men with money in order to save her sisters and servants from being homeless. She did it all for the sake of the family. There was one thing she loved more than herself: Tara. Read the book.
@AmericanEvita You provide an excellent point. However labeling Scarlett as a selfless person is totally inaccurate. One of her major flaws WAS being self-centered and selfish. She became very much addicted to fine things at the beginning and with her marriage with Rhett. Her reluctance to give up the feelings she had for a married man also illustrates this.
Best film ever made. Vivien was so talented you'd actually believe she was Scarlett. If anyone ever tried to remake this i doubt it would even make a million in the box office. Its one of those films you cant redo.
@GoldenEraa I've never seen the film, that's why I'm looking it up on youtube to see if it's worth renting (I don't think it's my type).
BUT I saw the musical version of it in London a couple of years ago. It was bloody atrocious. It starred Darius (the guy who sang "Colourblind") as Clark Gable's character and lasted over 5 hours. It received terrible critiques and lots of people left before the end, undersandably might I add.
The Hills is a piece of crap. There is much more to Scarlett that meets the eye. Her character develops throughout the movie and she matures greatly. She is not like those stupid stereotypes we have now. This movie is four hours and before you make any judgements on her character you should actually watch the whole movie and analyze her. She so much more than a "pampered white girl".
Far from it. She is not a horrible character at all. She has done some horrible things in her past, but that doesn't make her a horrid person at heart. She's just made many unwise choices in the face of disaster. But she realizes the error of her ways in the end. There was "spoiled brat" in her at the beginning, but who took on all the responsibility during the war? Who worked to keep food on the table? Wh protected the family by shooting the Yankee? Scarlett did all those things and more.
I don't find her utterly repulsive at all. Like many other women, I find her an independant and courageous woman with great strength and determination. She's a good role model and an inspiration to many others.
Yes, she's courageous and strong. But she's also mind-blowingly selfish, totally self-absorbed, lacking in anything but the most basic type of compassion or generosity. She has none of the qualities that make Melanie a decent person. She has good traits- but for me, the bad traits far outweigh and overshadow her character and that's why she repels me. Melanie was strong and courageous too, but had some human decency and is a far greater character imho.
It'd true that she lacks generosity and is selfish, but you must also think about her upbringing and how much hard imes she had to go through. Nevertheless, she's not really bad at heart it's just that her words and actions aren't always well thought out because everything she does is on impulse and she never stops to think about the consequences. Melanie was strong in many ways and terribly weak in others. That's one thing she and Scarlett have in common.
Yes, I agree with everything in the post above. But here's where we diverge-while I agree she is not an unsympathetic character, I can even see why people would find her likeable (though I don't), I draw the line at people saying she is their idol/mentor. She doesn't have nearly enough human decency and kindness to make her a good role model for anyone, imho. People wanting to be like her, I just cannot agree with that - they are not from the same background so have no excuse to be like that.
The thing is that when people say that Scarlett O' Hara is a role model what they mean is that she's someone to look up to in times of difficulty- when strength and courage are desperately needed. People who are going through hard times look at her determination as a positive quality and it gives them confidence that they can get through it just like she did. Scarlett is a very complicated women, and while she doesn't intend to be cruel or hurtful, she often ends up doing just that. I think
@SparkyCola3 you're absolutely right. I've seen her character develop throughout the movie from rich selfish brat to a strong and determined but still selfish brat at its best. She was unbelievable consistent as a selfish person by still going after Ashley despite the hardships she went through. Yes, she was determined to make a living and did work but she was always using people to get what she wanted, unlike Melanie who was very much the complete opposite. Melanie was the better half of her.
scarlett is a cusp of libra and scorpio...she is very feminine in her appearance and rhinks like a man ....which is a very libran trait....aries has the exact opposite trait
some people say that margret mitchell was an astrologer, and she had written characteres using zodiac characteristics. people say she is aries and rhett is leo. it is not true, rhett might be a leo, but scarlett as no characteristics of a aries, also vivian leigh, margaret mitchell both are scorpions. a libras ture self is more like scarlet o'hara, desiring everyones attention just for the sake of it.
she's so sexay

OMG MY NAME IS SCARLETT!!! AND I HATE WAR
ShadowMightyena 1 year ago
Rhett and Scarlett wouldn’t have been happy even if she had gotten over Ashley sooner, because for all his glib cynicism, Rhett yearns for understanding from the woman he loves. He loves Scarlett as Scarlett, yet he wants her to love him the way Melanie does Ashley, as futile as expecting a cat to be a dog. Because she cannot understand herself or others, Scarlett will never be really happy, while Melanie was content with her lot and found real happiness in the love she had for others.

But role model? Scarlett is a tragic hero.Spoiled and selfish, she is doomed even more by a fatal lack of self-knowledge.Mitchell describes Scarlett as interacting with others as she would a math formula. Do this, get this result. What goes on in someone’s head, hers or another’s, she neither understands nor cares. Scarlett isn’t capable of empathy. Feelings, yes. She does love Rhett, Bonnie, Melanie, Tara, and those she sees as kin. She loves on an elemental level, but she can’t relate to them.
vaarant24 1 year ago 3
There’s something in her that inspires Melanie’s faith that goes so much deeper than her shallow infatuation with Ashley. I love her strength, her resilience, her ability to survive where others fail, and even more so for the way she pulls her entire family right through with her. I confess, when things are going really wrong in my life, I find a great deal of comfort watching Scarlett’s return to Tara. At least the Yankee army hasn’t burned my land and nobody’s got Typhoid Fever, I tell myself.
vaarant24 1 year ago 2
Reading the comments, I find myself in the middle of the Scarlett debate. I love Scarlett. In fact, I would argue her to be the single greatest heroine in all American literature. It’s far more more than her ability to attract men that makes her so compelling. She has this spirit that is just irresistible, even at her worst. She is the favorite child of both her parents, as well as of Mammy (for all that she failed to turn out the perfect lady Mammy so wanted).

@allyjohn30 Elizabeth Taylor (RIP) was no where NEAR Vivien's beauty and talent. NO WHERE NEAR. Liz Taylor was more of a sex symbol than an actress. Vivien was an ACTRESS, a woman who was a true talent. Liz Taylor was just there. Also, Scarlett had GREEN eyes, that was a huge part of her charm. Liz's eyes werent green. So yes, Vivien would have gotten this role.

@MsRussianBeauty Scarlett had blue eyes and Elizabeth had violet, they were very similar in beauty. But to diminish Elizabeth as an actress if foolish, Elizabeth won TWO oscars and if you doubt her ability to act, watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She was 30 playing a 5o year old shrewish alcoholic
gy3462 9 months ago
@gy3462 Scarlett, in the book had green eyes. That was one of her main features. Vivian herself had blueish green eyes but they were mostly green...which is one of reasons she was cast as Scarlett. Im not diminishing Liz's acting, but she would have never been able to play Scarlett, NO ONE would ever be able to play Scarlett like Vivian did. Vivian also won two Oscars but made quarter of the movies Liz has.
MsRussianBeauty 9 months ago
@MsRussianBeauty Vivien's eyes were actually blue.Selznick's team used yellow lighting ,green eyeshadow,and reflective green costumes to make them appear green,though they still look blue throughout the whole film.I personally thought Ava Gardner would have been ideal for the part,as she had green eyes and was from the south,but she'd have been only 17 at the time and wasn't an actress yet.I agree with you that Liz Taylor was way overrated,though.
sns21274 4 months ago
@sns21274 You are right. When she was little her eyes were more of an aqua color but when she grew older her eyes are def blue & in most scenes its obvious. But it was easy to make em look green & she has some green in her eyes, unlike Liz whose eyes were downright violet. Hmm I always Ava Gardner had brown eyes, no? I love Ava, but I dont think she would have pulled being Scarlett, she didnt have that "IT fire that Miss O'Hara did IMO.

@MsRussianBeauty My dear, my sweet one, just so you know THE TRUE HOLLYWOOD E STORY, Vivian Leigh had light blue eyes. What David O'Selznick did was use a filter with a light green tint over it to make her eyes look pea green, especially on the close up scene in the latter half of the film (when they are Aunt Pittypat's house waiting on Rhett to get Ashley home safetly). I just thought you should know my dear one.

Can you believe Scarlett's name was ment to be Pansy? great balls of fire I say! And when the studios were looking for actresses only 1 person suggested Vivien Leigh and he was from New Zealand, my home country. fiddle dee dee. I wouldn't have chosen her though I would have chosen Sylvia Sidney, Joan Crawford or perhaps Claudette Colbert. (3 of the other options) they even had the gall to suggest Bette Davis, but luckily she refused because she'd already played a southern belle in Jezebel.

Also, people judge her based only in this scene/the early scenes. Look at her DURING THE WAR scenes when she finds her mom is dead. She has to take care of the family now. She married her sister's boyfriend only to keep Tara. Suellen was the true selfish one. She would have moved to Atlanta with Frank and forgotten about her family @ Tara. Scarlett behaved like a man of the time - she ran a lumber business and provided for her family financially. What is so selfish about that ?

why should I? She's a very challenging woman! wish my girl had of her personality...
BillChesser 2 years ago 2
She's horribly selfish and lacks all the decency which is most important- compassion, thoughtfulness, generosity and kindness. She's courageous and strong, but more of an anti-hero than someone to really aspire to or look up to. Also, I resent the implication that only women can look up to women characters and men can only look up to male characters. I don't feel "lucky" to have Scarlett O-selfish-Hara to "learn from". In fact I find that quite patronising. I guess ymmv. ;)
SparkyCola3 2 years ago
(I meant "I wish my girl had HALF of her personality) ... well I do look up to Scarlett, as a man who likes women, I have my taste... I'm not saying you should learn from her personality, only check out how men gravitate to her! I know, it's a film... but it happens also in the real world. You could be kind and caring but not be boring as MELANIE!
BillChesser 2 years ago
=) I agree, but kind and boring trumps strong and selfish in the real world, imho. Thanks for clarifying that you didn't mean her personality. I think men gravitate towards her despite her personality, rather than because of it (they only care that she's very beautiful on the outside, regardless of what's on the inside). You can't really learn external beauty.
SparkyCola3 2 years ago
what I'm trying to say Sparky, is that if a girl learn HOW to manage men like Scarlett does, She could become a men magnet... despite her look!
you know... the first line of the book is :" Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it" ;) It's just a way of acting...
BillChesser 2 years ago 2
@SparkyCola3 ..READ the book! In the movie, you have to look underneath the exterior. Scarlett was not selfish. Everything she did was for her family. She matured after her mother died during the War. Women in the 1860's could not work like men did, so Scarlett married men with money in order to save her sisters and servants from being homeless. She did it all for the sake of the family. There was one thing she loved more than herself: Tara. Read the book.
AmericanEvita 2 years ago 17
@AmericanEvita You provide an excellent point. However labeling Scarlett as a selfless person is totally inaccurate. One of her major flaws WAS being self-centered and selfish. She became very much addicted to fine things at the beginning and with her marriage with Rhett. Her reluctance to give up the feelings she had for a married man also illustrates this.

@GoldenEraa I've never seen the film, that's why I'm looking it up on youtube to see if it's worth renting (I don't think it's my type).
BUT I saw the musical version of it in London a couple of years ago. It was bloody atrocious. It starred Darius (the guy who sang "Colourblind") as Clark Gable's character and lasted over 5 hours. It received terrible critiques and lots of people left before the end, undersandably might I add.

fluxmuldar 2 years ago
The Hills is a piece of crap. There is much more to Scarlett that meets the eye. Her character develops throughout the movie and she matures greatly. She is not like those stupid stereotypes we have now. This movie is four hours and before you make any judgements on her character you should actually watch the whole movie and analyze her. She so much more than a "pampered white girl".
LexiixoxRoxx 2 years ago 3
She's a 3D character, but a horrible character. And there is definitely a lot of 'spoiled brat' in her. Her character is utterly repulsive, to me.
SparkyCola3 2 years ago
Far from it. She is not a horrible character at all. She has done some horrible things in her past, but that doesn't make her a horrid person at heart. She's just made many unwise choices in the face of disaster. But she realizes the error of her ways in the end. There was "spoiled brat" in her at the beginning, but who took on all the responsibility during the war? Who worked to keep food on the table? Wh protected the family by shooting the Yankee? Scarlett did all those things and more.
LexiixoxRoxx 2 years ago
I don't find her utterly repulsive at all. Like many other women, I find her an independant and courageous woman with great strength and determination. She's a good role model and an inspiration to many others.
LexiixoxRoxx 2 years ago
Yes, she's courageous and strong. But she's also mind-blowingly selfish, totally self-absorbed, lacking in anything but the most basic type of compassion or generosity. She has none of the qualities that make Melanie a decent person. She has good traits- but for me, the bad traits far outweigh and overshadow her character and that's why she repels me. Melanie was strong and courageous too, but had some human decency and is a far greater character imho.
SparkyCola3 2 years ago
It'd true that she lacks generosity and is selfish, but you must also think about her upbringing and how much hard imes she had to go through. Nevertheless, she's not really bad at heart it's just that her words and actions aren't always well thought out because everything she does is on impulse and she never stops to think about the consequences. Melanie was strong in many ways and terribly weak in others. That's one thing she and Scarlett have in common.
LexiixoxRoxx 2 years ago 2
Yes, I agree with everything in the post above. But here's where we diverge-while I agree she is not an unsympathetic character, I can even see why people would find her likeable (though I don't), I draw the line at people saying she is their idol/mentor. She doesn't have nearly enough human decency and kindness to make her a good role model for anyone, imho. People wanting to be like her, I just cannot agree with that - they are not from the same background so have no excuse to be like that.
SparkyCola3 2 years ago
The thing is that when people say that Scarlett O' Hara is a role model what they mean is that she's someone to look up to in times of difficulty- when strength and courage are desperately needed. People who are going through hard times look at her determination as a positive quality and it gives them confidence that they can get through it just like she did. Scarlett is a very complicated women, and while she doesn't intend to be cruel or hurtful, she often ends up doing just that. I think
LexiixoxRoxx 2 years ago
that in a lot of ways, she is a wonderful role model. But I don't think people should admire her selfishness or anything, don't get me wrong.
LexiixoxRoxx 2 years ago
@SparkyCola3 you're absolutely right. I've seen her character develop throughout the movie from rich selfish brat to a strong and determined but still selfish brat at its best. She was unbelievable consistent as a selfish person by still going after Ashley despite the hardships she went through. Yes, she was determined to make a living and did work but she was always using people to get what she wanted, unlike Melanie who was very much the complete opposite. Melanie was the better half of her.
