"It will come to you, this love of the land. There's no gettin' away from it if you're Irish." This quote is said by Gerald O'Hara to Scarlett. If you catch this quote at the beginning of the movie, you will understand the end of the movie. This movie is highly complicated, has lots of foreshadowing, and you need to pay attention to every detail in the movie, else nothing will be clear in the end.
This Movie is set in 1939, during the Civil War and Reconstruction period. Brilliantly Directed by Victor Fleming, this movie is romance and drama.Gone with the Wind portrays the Trials and tribulations of Scarlett O'Hara played by Vivien Leigh. Scarlett is a strong young lady trying to win the love of Ashley Wilkes played by Leslie Howard, she doesnt get to far in her quest for the his love because hes already in love with Melanie his cousin. Her attempt eventually fails to win over Ashley, but she wins the love of 3 other men along the way Charles Hamilton, Frank Kennedy, and Rhett Butler. She ends up marrying all 3 men, mostly because she needed money or wanted to make Ashley jealous.
I loved the movie for all of its drama and the crazy love triangle. I also liked the forshadowing, so you always knew when to sit on the edge of your seat and wait for something bad or good to happen. I liked the acting at the time, because it wasnt great and you couldn't blue screen anything or cover up mistakes. So everything was real and raw. I did not like the ending of the movie, i understood it. I just wish it would have gone into more depth into what happens and how everything turns out.
