Gone With the Wind

To tell you the truth, I think it is overrated. I was hoping people could post their thoughts about the film; maybe even someone who likes it could get me, in some way, to appreciate the film more. Now don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the film, I respect it for what it did, but it just doesn't seem like a masterpiece.

Its overlong, has some bad acting by everyone but the two leads and the main black slave, and has some pretty poor dialogue. But overall, its got some classic scenes, excellent use of color, and it did a ton for film. Its about an 8/10 for me.

LOVE the first half. HATE the second half.

I recall my mom saying it was her favourite movie. I haven't seen it though.
