Om denne film

Produceren David O. Selznicks meget roste filmatisering af Margaret Mitchells populære roman fortæller historien om en romance mellem den stormfulde Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) og den smukke Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) midt i den amerikanske borgerkrig. Den legendariske klassiker vandt 10 Academy Awards inklusive Bedste film, Bedste kvindelige hovedrolle (Leigh), Bedste instruktør (Victor Fleming) og Bedste kvindelige birolle (Hattie McDaniel) – den første Oscar, som nogensinde blev uddelt til en afroamerikansk skuespiller. Filmen har en af historiens største indtjeninger (når der tages højde for inflation), og den afspejler også i høj grad sin tid. Den gengiver karakterer og temaer, som er stødende og problematiske for nutidens publikum. Filmen præsenteres her, som den blev udgivet i 1939, fordi andre alternativer ville svare til at ignorere fordommene i filmen.

Despite being a a classic Hollywood film with the infamous quote: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," from Rhett Butler, it has aged poorly in recent years. I loathe the character Prissy who is a horrible portrayal of African-Americans during the Reconstruction Era. Scarlett O'Hara is a selfish, vapid spoiled woman who really needs an attitude adjustment and reality check. The KKK Clan references are unsettling to say the least. It's overrated, but the costumes are nice.

This movie was made in 1939 that over 80 yr go. There was no CG or cut re do big scenes roll and hope for the best and this movie is one of the greatest every made. If u have people still talking about it now. Nothing made like this anymore. ❣❣❣❣

I love this movie, & the book as well. Both are very classic & entertaining. I admit I do not like slavery or the idea of it, but we can not change history. We can learn from it & grow into better people because of it. Mammy was my favorite character. I wish I could have met her in real life. She was funny & so full of life! I just love her.
