GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell. The film was produced by David O. Selznick of Selznick International Pictures and directed by Victor Fleming. Set in the American South against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era, the film tells the story of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh), the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner, following her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), who is married to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland), and her subsequent marriage to Rhett Butler (Clark Gable).

I saw one reaction with two reactors. During the scene when Melanie and Ashley walk up the stairs arm and arm as Scarlett looks longingly at them, the Australian broad (kidding), as Melanie gazing into Ashley’s eyes, says as Melanie “Now let’s f—-!” I love this movie. And you really don’t need to do a lot of explaining away and “in context of the times” crap, unlike The Birth of a Nation, which is such a shame.

And loved the full reaction. You whistling dixie in that thumbnail or what?

Hey Coby. I just finished watching it. Great reaction. I had only ever seen pieces of this movie, because it was something that would be on during the holidays when I was a little kid. Seeing it now it’s very different than I expected. Very bold film for the time. I agree with you 💯about Scarlet. I really didn’t like her or Rhett, neither of them were very nice people, and maybe that was the point. Which again is pretty unique for the time it was made. When happy endings were the norm. And yeah, I was mad about the horse too. The look of the film is so beautiful. So I’m glad I finally watched this. Have a great week.

Good reaction. Really glad "the line" snuck up on you.

I've been a fan of the book and movie for 53 years. I have read extensively about Margaret Mitchell, the making of the book, and the making of the film, as well as the history and culture of the time. Some thoughts... One of the things that bothers me about the movie, not that they had time to fit it in, is not pointing out strongly enough the kind of culture Scarlett is surrounded by. The culture of the South, especially the upper class South, was very rigid, very strict on how people were supposed to conduct themselves. Especially women. Margaret Mitchell was the daughter of a Suffragette. She made a big point in her book about the contrast between what was expected of Scarlett, as opposed to Scarlett's natural personality. Women were supposed to be like Melanie. If you weren't like Melanie, then you pretended to be. All women were supposed to be meek, mild, gentle, kind... etc. Scarlett just wasn't wrapped like that. She was born to be a businesswoman, not a housewife. She had no legitimate outlet for her skills and was supposed to be ashamed of herself for having business sense. In the book her mom and Mammy try their best to make her fit into the strict Southern mold of a lady. I always get a chill when Scarlett and her friend at the start of the movie are talking about the woman who was "ruined" by Rhett Butler by going on a buggy ride alone with him. Suffice it to say, they didn't have sex, but simply the fact that they COULD have had sex was enough to literally ruin the young woman's life. She would never be allowed in friend or family's houses or gatherings again. She would live as a marked woman because of that buggy ride. That's why there was a huge scandal about it. Woman were never, ever supposed to have sex before marriage, or it would destroy any dreams they had. Even getting alone for a little while with a man was enough to make them outcasts in society. Also, Emmie Slattery, who's baby "Fortunately has died", according to Scarlett's mother, didn't work for Scarlett's family. She was part of a family who lived nearby and was very poor. Scarlett's mom did what ladies did back then and would drop by to have her servants help the poor people out a little and give them food or medical care. There's mention of this kind of local charity in the book and usually adaptations of "Little Women" as well. It was a very common thing in that era. Scarlett's mom knew the baby didn't have a real chance in the world. It was illegitimate and from a poor family. The girl would have probably ended up as a prostitute because of her lack of legit father or respectable background. That's why she said what she did. So, yes, Scarlett is kind of a crazy bit*h, but she was up against a whole lot of people who never would give her any legit outlet for who she was. She couldn't just take out a bank loan or go to college or whatever. She was raised to be a man trap because that's what women did back then. When Rhett came along with his honesty and actual appreciation of who she really was, she didn't know how to handle it. Ashley felt like the kind of man her culture told her she should love. She always kept trying to fit in with what her mother wanted, even if it was counter to what would actually work for her as a unique individual.

Thanks Coby! The producer was fined $5000 for the line I don't give a damm. You were not allowed to swear in movies! That was alot of money back in the 30s great depression era. In Planet of the Apes where Heston says Damm you all to Hell, he had to convince the censors he was not swearing and literally meant for the people that destroyed the earth to burn in eternal fire.

Another good movie with Leslie Howard is Of Human Bondage. It also launched Bette Davis's career. Like Gone with the Wind, it has some very complex characters and deals with dark subjects.

Great reaction, great chat, great movie! Thanks Coby! I was really very surprised at just how much support Paint Your Wagon has for a reaction though! I have known that movie my entire life (it came out in 1969) as it was one that my father played for me at a very young age and I know all of the songs very well. I always considered it a rather niche film that wasn't all that popular but a lot of people really seemed to resonate with it! It is one that you might enjoy though!

3 directors, 1400 Scarlett auditions, countless re-writes, and $7 million 1939 dollars later...

One reason the wealthy married their cousin was to keep money and land in the family. It was a way to protect their wealth. After the war confederate money was worthless. Lots of people could not pay their taxes and lost their property.

I've loved your reactions for a long time, Coby -- but this might be the best one yet! Please consider doing more classic films!!
