Adapted from the novel of the same name by Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the wind<\/em> (Gone with the wind<\/em>) was a hit when it was released in 1939. Today, it remains one of the greatest films in cinema history. Four glorious hours of epic (and very) feature film, in searing colors, with Max Steiner's grandiose score and dazzling, cult lines, recount the end of a world that, despite everything, leaves an unceasing wind of nostalgia in the American sky.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A love story, an American story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tara Estate. In a proud Georgia as Southern as it is Confederate. 1861. We're with Scarlett O'Hara on the eve of Abraham Lincoln's declaration of the bloody American Civil War. Sixteen years old, she dreams of getting married. All the handsome boys from Georgia's good families are courting her. Except one, Ashley Wilkes, who, just as much in love with her as the others, sticks to his promise of marriage to his cousin Melanie Hamilton. But Scarlett, selective, manipulative and capricious, only wants Ashley. The Wilkes family throws a party the next day, to which the O'Haras are obviously invited. It's the perfect opportunity to declare his love for her. He can't resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he resists the first advances. Especially as he plans to announce his forthcoming marriage to the good and virtuous Melanie at the reception. Before the damage is done, Scarlett lures Ashley into a drawing room where they can finally be alone. She tells him how much she loves him, and he wavers, but holds on to his honor. Rhett Butler, a maverick, dandyish, totally chic belladonna, has heard it all; he gently mocks Scarlett. Humiliated, she declares her hatred for him as if declaring war. He's already fallen for her. They part, her screaming, him laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
