I was really struck by how little of the movie covered the antebellum South. I saw the movie once in my childhood and all I remembered, and all anyone talks about, is the beginning of the movie that focuses on “the old South.” For a nearly four-hour movie, that part makes up so little. – Wesley Weeks | I was really struck by how little of the movie covered the antebellum South.

| + | I’ve seen ''Gone with the Wind'' plenty of times (what self-respecting classic film fan hasn’t?), but only when the mood struck me. I thought it was going to be a chore to see it this weekend because I didn’t think I was in the mood to watch it. When I finally forced myself to sit down for a viewing, it took me about one minute to get sucked in. Apparently, I’m always in the mood for ''Gone with the Wind''. It truly is a classic. And for good reason! Just think, how many famous quotes come from this movie alone? Scarlett pumping her fist into the air, clearly on a soundstage with fake scenery, shouting, “Even if I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill. As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again!” By all rights that scene (and many others in the movie) should be completely, utterly cheesy, but it’s ''not''. What a movie! Still, nothing can convince me to watch the sequel with Timothy Dalton. Just no. As a little aside, if I recall correctly had Margaret Mitchell decided to be in the movie, she would’ve picked Prissy to play! --Taylor Brann | ||
