GREAT synopsis, Babe. We could definitely write a thesis based simply on the character arc of Scarlett O' Hara, but even the deepest of analysis could only scratch the surface b/c the story leaves so much to be ascertained about the fate of her character. That's part of what makes this story so deep.

Leaving the movie's technical greatness and innovation aside, the dialogue is certainly some of the most clever I've ever seen within the scope of general cinema, and I think the film is justly compared with The Godfather.


When Rhett walks out on Scarlett, he and his big brown eyes are walking out on "the old-south and anyone who ever harbored even the most subconscious of fantasies about the old-southern/Nordic myth of caste, and 'proper' breeding within the 'Aryan' race."

Ah, but we just couldn't let that big, dark-haired s.o.b leave, huh, Mrs. Butler.
