What a scene.

LOVE IT!

Rhett is so far sighted and wise. This scene just makes me adore him even more for his good sense. :)

I always liked this scene because it paints a good picture of how've

[boy18inva]

Here in about a 30 second speech Rhett Butler truly hits the nail on the head, and one wishes his speech could have been heard by every politician in the South. The overwhelming advantages of the North were not so much unknown by the Southerners, as they were despised. "Honor" is never going to stop a cannonball. "Gentlemen" are not magically immune to bullets.

Lacking a southern cannon factory should make no difference to a gentleman? And they called the slaves "simple-minded." It was those very cannon factories up north that took off the heads and torsos of many a refined, elegant southern gentleman, and left a bloody corpse for as symbols of their familes' honor. What fools.

Gerald O'Hara, already wasted and pouring yet another drink, babbles on about Yankee insults and how the South should teach them a lesson through armed conflict. He is greeted by the bombastic approval and further calls for a war the South was doomed to lose from the outset by the dimwitted Tarletons and spineless in the real world Charles Hamilton. When confronted with facts, they resort to Southern arrogance and false honor. These people caused the deaths of over 600,000 people with no shame.

[redletter2008]

Rhett was so right about Southern arrogance. Along with stupidity and naivety, it was all the Confederates had. Butler spoke truth to ignorance and arrogance. Not only did the North have all he mentioned, it also had a significantly larger population, greater wealth and experienced warriors and commanders. Charles Hamilton said the South had been "insulted" by the Yankees, when in fact, the rebels were the ones that started the war by attacking Fort Sumpter. They got what they deserved and more!

So who are you voting for Obama or Cain?

Gable had many great movie scenes, but this was one of his best.

[PatrioticKlansman]

For all of us viewers out there of Confederate blood, this is such a good movie to relate to! My ancestors were very wealthy and owned a plantation probably very similar to this one in Georgia. I have no doubt that they attended a ball like this one before war was declared on the South. We lost everything to them damn Yankees and their dream of the South becoming one nation will never die through those who have honor. -- WHITE POWER!
