Overall I think the film, while fairly historically accurate, is heavily viewed through the lens of the fall of southern aristocracy. It is about the struggles of the rich southerner more so than the south in its entirety. This film and book were probably a form of escapism for people during the Great Depression. What better way to forget your woes than to see the romanticized south with a beautiful, feisty leading lady and a dashing, swoon-worthy leading man?--[[User:Shauser|Shauser]] 17:28, 1 October 2008 (MDT) | Overall I think the film, while fairly historically accurate, is heavily viewed through the lens of the fall of southern aristocracy.

| + | This movie is beautifully shot and really has stood the test of time in that regard. However, watching Scarlett be annoying and conniving and bratty in nearly every way for most of the film really takes away from it. I think that she could be made into a "Gossip Girl" character and fit in just fine. The movie is still great and beautiful, but I definitely don't have the patience for a delicate, pampered southern belle. -- Amanda Russell | ||
