Movies Gone with the Wind (1939) still wrecks people

[Richmma80]

My girl watched it last night for the first time. That was the first time I've seen it for like 40 years. It was my mom's favorite movie and I remember it being a big deal to older folk back in the 80s.

The ending wrecked my fiancee last night. We watched all 4 hours of it. The scale of this movie is unbelievable. The sets they had to build physically is mind blowing.

I member back in the olden days when crazy ole Ted Turner got his hands on all them old timey films and started scribbling on them with his color crayons, this was like the big prize
They made a huge deal of releasing a colorized version of this film with a giant marketing push

The scale of this movie is unbelievable. The sets they had to build physically is mind blowing.

I think you just piqued my curiosity right here, I enjoy watching old timey movies to see the magic within them, love the impressive sets and costumes and the glamorous style of the actors in the film, I think I will give this film a span

Thanks, Rich

Watch it and let me know what you think

 

[Killer Whale]

One of the GOAT’s

That was my Grandma's favourite film, had something in my eye when we went to see her on Christmas Day in the care home and they had it on TV.

It's a legendary film

The theme song is very iconic

 

[Adamant]

I wish they still made movies like this.

 

[Sobek]

Didn't they try and cancel or edit it a few years back?

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

They don't make movies like this anymore. Just imagine the full scale sets and all the extra actors they needed. It's unbelievable how they movies back than.

What an absolute classic film.

the era of making great movies is over. it has been for a long time. like with music, it's all now a shadow of its former greatness. the best things currently are the things most people focus on. music and movies were great when the majority focused on it. today, there are so many more options available in terms of expression that movies and music are moving the way of the book. a once great but forgotten medium.

I never realized how large their backyard was.

Yes, here's a quote:

"The film has been criticized for its romanticization of the Civil War-era South, its glorification of slavery, and its perpetuation of painful stereotypes of people of color."

heard way more about it that seen it, never saw it, got the deluxe dvd version but never saw it. It's probably one of the few movies of that notoriety that I haven't seen. Watched Citizen Kane more than once, many many others. The old films really took pride in ever facet in a way that's been lost a long time ago.

 

[Bornstarch]

This movie should be a mandatory watch for everyone

 

[Slobodan]

It is @lsa's favourite movie

 

[Morning Star]

Went into seeing this thinking I would dislike it but it was an undeniably great movie. That last line by Gable might be one of my favorite movie ending moments.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Much like ET - have never seen it and probably won't ever see it.

One of the classics to end all classics. Tons of problems behind-the-scenes, particularly with the directors, but boy did Selznick pull that thing together.

Gone with the Wind was shot in color. But that is one of the darkest periods in film exhibition with that jackass colorizing black-and-white films.
