About this movie

Producer David O. Selznick’s acclaimed screen adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling novel tells of the romance between the tempestuous Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) and the dashing Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), against the tragic backdrop of the Civil War. This legendary classic earned 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, (Leigh) Best Director (Victor Fleming), and Best Supporting Actress to Hattie McDaniel, the first Oscar ever awarded to an African American performer.  One of the highest-grossing films of all time (when adjusted for inflation), it is also very much a product of its time, and unfortunately reflects depictions of characters and themes which are offensive and problematic when viewed by contemporary audiences. The film is presented here as originally released in 1939, because to do otherwise would be the equivalent of stating the prejudices and attitudes never existed.

Ratings and reviews

Obra de arte , um filme de epoca conta a estoria da guerra civil americana e libertaçao dos escravos Mas ninguem conta que ate hoje existe escravidao tanto de brancos e negros, no seculo 20

Um filme de quase 100 anos, mas continua ótimo... Depois dele quantas histórias não apresentaram protagonistas que juraram não passar fome ou juraram não sofrer nunca mais? Pioneiro e nunca ficará datado.

EXPERIENCIA MAGNIFICA... APESAR DE SER TOTALMENTE RACISTA, POIS COLOCAM OS NWGROS COMO SERES SEM CEREBRO E QUE NEM PERCEBEM A SERIEDADE DA GUERRA QUE ACONTECE.
