Review: This if my favourite movie of all time and it deserves much, much more than 5 stars. It's the perfect cold, rainy sunday afternoon movie, just switch it on and you're transpoted back to a world where women have afternoon naps and the most impotant part of the day is being shoe-horned into a corset to acheive an 18 inch waist!The performances from Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara) and Hattie Mcdaniel (Mamie) are superb. My only criticism, if it is one, is how is the audience supposed to believe that the vivacious Scarlett would fall for a drip like Ashley Wilkes?! As if! This film started an my obsession with Clarke Gable, Rhett Butler; what a guy! He is overbearing, arrogant and drinks to much but it's all part of his charm and thats one thing he has plenty of. Even though theres no happy ending the viewer is left confident that once Scarlett reaches her beloved Tara everything will be allright again, she'll get her man back and it will all be Happy-ever-after. If you have never seen this film you don't know what you're missing! and for all those other GWTW fans out there, I salute you! I know what I'll be watching this sunday, with a big bar of chocolate and some tissues. |
