Sarlett:" Melanie Hamilton is a pale-faced, mealy-mouthed ninny and I hate her!" classic bitchy belle - Scarlett at her best! What a beauty Viv Leigh is trapsing around Tara in her white, hoop skirited dress. What a life - though now, gone with the wind!
The book is a masterpiece of human emotion. A girl who had everything and knew nothing, chased after a guy who was taken by someone else and didn't want or need her. While she is persuded by a man who had everything and could get anything, but wanted a woman who knew nothing and didn't want him until he didn't want her anymore.
Her father knew her so well - "who does it care who you marry so long as he is a southerner and thinks like you". I am sure he would have approved of her marrying Rhett (even if Ellen wouldn't have). In the book, they both got drunk together - perhaps if he hadn't gone mad and been around when Scarlett married Rhett he would have spoken some home truths to her and she would have been happy with Rhett rather than contnually lusting after Ashley. LOVE THIS SCENE.
"It'll come to you this love of the land. There's no getting away from it if you're Irish" as the music comes in was about 20 or 30 years ahead of its time. The movie was all downhill from there, but it would have been impossible to keep it up.
Actually, the Southern dialect was and is closer to and English accent. If you knew anything about trhis movie, you would know that she had a dialect coach. Educate yourself!!
@WPH1966 Yes, especially the accent of the Southern aristocrisy. Most whites in the south (even today) are of English, Scottish and/or Irish ancestry. It is the least diverse region of white nationalities in America. One can hear Vivian's English accent in her lines hear, but it is reasonably authentic as an aristocratic-Southern accent from 1861 to pass. I love the sound of her voice, as well as her glaring pysical beauty.
When most girls dreamed of being a Disney Princess I dreamed of being Scarlett O'Hara...I saw this movie when I was 9 years old and even then I fell in love with the story...
I don't get this movie. How come Scarlet wants to go after Ashley when he likes Melanie and how come she's friendly with those other dudes at the beginning, and she also hates Ret Butler when he's loaded with money and got the hots for her?
@leafyutube Scarlett always wants what's out of her reach. She's a fighter - if she can't fight for it, she doesn't want it. That's part of the reason she rejects Ashley when he's finally available to her, and she begs Rhett to stay when he's decided to leave her for good. Rhett learns the lesson that Ashley knew from the beginning...
@TheSouthernNation Well put Southern Nation. I love the Old South and the cottonacracy. Magnificent plantations with huge white columned mansions furnished with the best of everything. I'd have miles of cotton fields, elegant summer gazebos, hammocks, and my immaculate gardens and lawns would always welcome my Dixie neighbors with their own properous cotton kingdoms. We'd be a lazy and arrogant bunch of southern gents, but who cares. That's why we'd grow cotton : )
Ever since I was a boy, I always thought old Technicolor movies were some of the prettiest things I'd ever seen. My scottish grandfather never really talked about his family history much, but it wasn't until his recent passing that I found out that Thomas Mitchell (Gerald O'Hara) is my great great uncle, and my grandfather's father was named after his uncle which is this Thomas Mitchell. All the years of loving this movie...and I find that out...WOW. Thank you for posting. God Bless.
@regulators88 really? Is your name really Scarlet? Well, my parents named me Linette after the main character in the movie Death On The Nile, which was based on a book by Agatha Christie.
@lillybellebutterfly1 One day, I'm gonna have a plantation like Tara, and I'll name it Tara. I'll plant cotton and have a garden, horses, cows, chickens, pigs, goats, everything. And the I'll build another plantation and call it Twelve Oaks. And my dad will live in it, or I'll have my best friend have it.
I used to be like Scarlett, in the old days. I didn't care about land. but then I went through my own trials like she did. And like Scarlett, I'll never go hungry again. As God is my witness
THE DREAMS OF MR MULDOON is now out on AMAZON KINDLE @2.99.The publishers said this book would make a great film......you will love THE DREAMS OF MR MULDOON.Best wishes.

While I'm not calling it a bad movie, I feel like a lot of these people are talking it up just because it's a "classic" and regarded as a great movie and they want to seem sophisticated for watching a classic.
GWTW was one of the most stunning films ever crafted, made in the days when it was craftsmanship that created a film. The cinematography right through it brings tears to the eyes at the beauty they achieved; and it was all done without CG, & without computer-controlled cameras. It was made with cameras the size of a bus, and not knowing what was shot until the next day. And its far better than anything churned out by today's Hollywood crap factory. This scene sums up the film's magnificence.
Even Margaret Mitchell who wrote the book "Gone with the Wind" had a tragic end. She was run over by a truck. All these typical Greek tragedies...but I will now take my hat off to a film I use to discount....I am older and wiser and seeing other BS in todays films that no one will even want to watch 5-10 years longer...I am humbled... great film....Ahh once a year. LOL Ok maybe twice. :)
Butterfly McQueen was interviewed who played "Prissy"....she got slappled by Scarlett in the film...Ms. McQueen said she hated that role...she thought Prissy was a pain and said she would have slapped her too. She had a great sense of humor. I remember Ms. McQueen in the film Mildred Pierce with Joan Crawford....not becuase of Crawford but Ms. McQueen was never received in the credits....she was such a good character actress too long ignored too. The best are behind us...so sad.
to promote the film since they were requring the black performers to stay at the 'other" local hotels. He wasn't going to go because of the unfairness but Hattie McDaniel insisted he needed to, to promote the film that would benefit all. He went allegedly because of Hattie...if that is true...my hat is off to Hattie dealing with hard times and saw a the bigger "picture"...what a great lady. RIP...you had CLASS!
Also Hattie McDaniel stole this film. When "negroes" especially during the great despression were really suffering the most, she found work, albeit a maid, but I never saw her as a made but an intrical part of the family and story line. She had the best lines and looks. Her contribution should never be ignored. Won an oscar, first black woman to do so but sadly she was required to sit at the back of the room...heard a story that Gable refused to go to Atlanta
Something I noticed..never realized what huge hands Gable had....this man should have been a basketball player (with the expection of the heighth)...he could grab basketball like picking up an orange. Not a huge fan of him but he came across as cool and think his contribution was too ignored in this film. No Oscar nom for him. NOt sure the color process, but it looks so much better than the films put out today. The visual was very good and deserved its Oscar.
Used to think this film was a big soap opera...well it still kind of is..but the probability of the book making such a historic film. Very improbable. The story is one greek tragedy after another and ends sadly. The main character is unlikeable at best and yet it turned out very well in film. David OSelznick what the issue. Watched this again recently and it was captivating...although Scarlett needed a good spanking for her self centered issues...still a great film...for once a year.
Gerald O'Hara is fictional but typical of Irish immigrants who came here before and during the potato famine years, just to own land of their own. The Irish attitude toward land is spoken by him in this clip.
When I first saw this movie I saw it with my mother when i was 7 years old and she told me what this man says is true that land is the most important thing.
The saddest part of this movie and the book for me was when Gerald O'Hara died. He was one of my favourite characters =( But Scarlett fought hard for Tara and I think she would have made her Pa proud ^^
Well, this magnificent scene sums up the story: Tara is what Scarlett will fight for, then she'll realize that Ashley is not for her. Gerald was right, from the beginning.
That, plus the colors, plus the incredible music *sigh*, I SO love this movie.
For some reason I always appreciated this scene above the rest of this great epic (and that's saying alot). Perfection. Southerners love of the land is a birthright. Gerald is the best character IMO.
He reminds me so much of my own Dad, not only being Irish and a land-obsessed architect, but also in the way he's being brutally honest and logical about the situation and her behavior. He's just totally deflating Scarlett's bubble. Plus, my name's Kate and my mom's is Ellen, so....Lots of family in this movie.
I find that the relation between Scarlett and Gerald is a very special one..I would love to have THAT same relation with my father. The acting of Thomas Mitchell as Gerald is..among the 3 best in this SUPER film. The way he changes after Hellen,s death..all his irish strengh gone away, his eyes lost, his trembling. And the way Scarlett protects him, like a child..Well..what can I say about this UNIQUE piece of ART?..Carlos.
And, if you have a drop of Irish blood in you (as do I: Irish and Scottish) and you have the same "sense of place" and attraction to your native sod as do I, this scene will never fail to bring a tear to your eye.
