For lovers of a great story

McClennan from , 29th December, 2004

I have never seen this film before and although I generally knew the gist of what was going to happen I was surprised that it did live up the praise that it's received. Pretty much a pilot for any soap opera or mini series, which can be viewed as a negative, but the performances, sets and dialogue gave the kind of depth that the former can only hope to achieve. I have watched a number of films over the past twelve months that deal with the subject of love with three standing out; Secretary (with its exploration of power, control, abuse and love), The English Patient (lust, love and fidelity) and this film. I'm finding it difficult to fault what I saw, even though I know there are bits in the film that don't fit quite right, because the development of the main character is just so compelling. I understand that the character Scarlett O'Hara finds its way into the hearts of men who watch and it's easy to see why. Despite the strength, beauty and flirtatious manner her disregard for anyone other than herself should push anyone away from liking her, but there is something there, difficult to explain that really pulls you in and I could probably talk all night about this and I haven't even mentioned Rhett Bulter. A classic and I'll have to look back at this another time to assess whether it is a masterpiece

Great fun

A Customer from Cramlington, Northumberland, 30th May, 2005

I am nearly 40, and this is the first time I've seen this epic film. Of course, it's dated, but that taken into consideration I loved it, and I now know why others do, to. Scarlet O'hara, the heroine, is loveable for her determination and positivity even though she's a spoilt, gold-digging flirt, which is just hilarious. Rhet Butler has some of the best lines, which still have impact now, and the whole script is really witty and well written. All the parts are acted really well, too, and there are some great characters. Wonderful, lavish, colourful sets and scenes, harmless escapism and great fun.

Tomorrow is another day

A Customer from Soho, London, 1st October, 2007

I watched this epic on my laptop on the way down from Preston to London. The idea being simply that it was a long film and would help to pass the time. However, the experience was deeply moving. I know that some may see Scarlet as a pain and a spoilt and brattish character but her renaissance is arduous and believeable; and in a wicked way its kind of nice to see a rich bitch have to suffer!... Vivianne Lee is stunnigly beautiful, in fact she's quite mesmerising. As the hours went past and I changed to disc two I felt privileged to be watching. I got the distinct impression from other passengers looking /watchuing over my shoulder that they wanted to watch the film too. I say go for it and add this gem to your rental list, save it for a long (and it is long) lazy bad weather weekend afternoon.

Gone With The Wind

Becarina from , 4th March, 2009

AMAZING! If you haven't seen this already you should... a romantic classic with a twist. I watched it in three parts - it's a long film but totally worth it!
