Excellent 😊

Great film, terrible history. Nothing has spread more misconceptions about the Civil War than Gone with the Wind. And it was no accident: Margaret Mitchell was a Lost Cause propagandist.

I saw king kong in the third grade and the walkway to the local cinema always had this giant statue from the 30s movie so it blew my mind that there was a new one, its crazy how pj recreated the same magic that inspired another genaration of film makers

The Movie of movies. Gone With The Wind is the best movie ever made. This film is about to survivor, that's what I like the most. Fortunately I found the book. The First British edition 1937. I really enjoyed reading it, there are a lot most interesting details in the novel. I totally agree with you. You review is quite accurate actually. Grettings from Buenos Aires.

Yeah I never hated V I just wish the fx were better, some of the corny humor were removed and I wish the film were actually a bit longer. It needs more narrative. It's too rushed.

This is a good review. The concept of the movie was great. We all have our pain, and it is a part of us. We need our pain. Imagine all the pain Kirk has went through. The Kodos massacre, losing Edith Keeler, Rayna, his own son David Marcus. A lot of pain for one lifetime. Now if we got to explore some of that, having Kirk go through some kind of catharsis in dealing with his pain. This would have been a much better movie!

I dont think it's so bad! The special effects, sets, actors (as always) are awful but the music score is tremendous and the story comes from a good idea.. but but, if only they gave him the money, it could have been better than the overestimated STAR TREK 2

Good points all for a bad movie. This shows a movie needs all elements to work. If one part of it goes bad enough it will pull down everything.

How exactly does Rhett give Scarlett a sense of security? He is a con man, who leaves Scarlett on multiple occasions in her most vulnerable moments. He has some serious sado-masochistic tendencies, loving her the most, when she s actively rejecting him and leaving her to her own devices when she is in dire need of him. This marriage was actually his idea and in every tragedy Scarlett had he was somehow involved (her second husband, their child etc.) If not the charismatic Clark Gable, this character would be considered the most cruel romantic lead in cinema history..

Star Trek V is not a bad movie by mistake; it's a bad movie by design. It is a farce. The farce is a supercilious parody. There are rare instances, like the first two Robocop films that are actually funny. Most are like STV in that they are merely insulting to the audience. This is why both Star Trek and Star Wars fans want to turn JJ Abrams into a human pinata.

A good balanced take, and probably the best defence of Star Trek V which can be made. Absolutely agree that the interplay between Kirk, Spock & McCoy is up there with the best of Trek, with the camping scene at the apex. If giving the characters time & space to simply bounce off each other was Shatner's decision then he definitely deserves credit for it

You need to read Lisabeth Shatner's book. The studio screwed Shatner repeatedly on the budget.

Fan of 70% of this film! Benicio should have been kept for any sequel after this one. Underrated actor... Seconded re the Rose city visit. Even that subplot had a strange edit during their escape. The chain of command aubplot was a good idea, but not perfect. Luke... not sure what would be more cliche. Turning a hero in the wrong direction, or using every sappy expectation. Luke was still fallible so why not show thebold Icarus rffect by having him get too high and then, oops, be an influence on student Rylo? (If i remember the mlvie correctly!) The force psych call and telekinesis seemed a bit much, though. Definitely kudos for the actors, who kept it all going more than it otherwise might have!

Really nice review, with MANY great points, perfectly told! ❤ The script was a mess and less than the sum of its parts, but Shatner captured the feel of 60s TOS. Audiences were too used to the style of TWOK-TVH. The ship was newly-christened (as another ship but renamed "Enterprise" so that I could buy into, until the comedy became ostentatious. The Klingon subplot did feel tacked on and underdeveloped as Klaa's anger at Kirk never got sufficiently explored. The search for God... there's no way to resolve that, but the attempt via Kirk saying it's in each of our hearts was surprisingly fresh. Loved the fact that they used shuttlecraft and konking out the transporter. I still wonder why there are great barriers at the edge and at the middle of the galaxy. How many more out there 🙃. Didn't Shatner direct TJ Hooker before STV? Yeah, Shatner went big but rightly so as it was for the big screen.

New studio is looking fresh!

I really liked this even handed take on V. Because while it is a bad movie, the concept is great and was perfect for something that ponders big things like Star Trek (as opposed to the more swashbuckling concepts behind Lucas Star Wars). What impact would interstellar travel have on faith? Weaken it or reinforce it? And if man travels into space, you don’t think finding God is going to be on the list for some travelers? And while the story in concept is sort of a cheat because you can’t have the characters knowingly find God, if at the end they find out something important about themselves and relationship with each other, you can still have a satisfying movie. But there were so many script problems that wouldn’t have been hard to fix if you put an early cut in front of a discerning Trek or sci if audience (how long would it take to just say “God” told Sybok how to break all of those physical laws surrounding the impossibility of reaching the center of the galaxy? And get rid of some of the stupid jokes although the studio demanded more humor), you wonder why not take this very simple step? But for me what really dooms V is the effects are SO bad they take you right out of the movie every single time you see them. Good effects can’t save a bad movie, but when bad effects routinely kill any momentum the story begins you build, there’s no saving it. Again thank you for this even handed take.

Well said.

That explains why he sounds like the narrator for Disney’s haunted mansion.

Gotta mention Claude Rains if talking Casablanca…

King Kong 2005 is a masterpiece

Great review, well deserved 10/10 its one of the few films that I have watched over 50 times, easily

This is one of the best reviews I have seen for "Gone with the Wind" Thank you!!! When I first saw the movie, I was warned by my mother that "you will realize that you have not seen a movie like this one before, or ever will." Massively great! Boy, was she right! No comparison whatsoever. I have tried to give it the benefit of the doubt with other movies that are considered by some the best movies, but I just can't. Thanks again for the review.

Even intelligent woman can be foolish in love The strength of Scarlet character is that she never gives up whatever the circumstances In the novel itself when Rhet leaves her she feels lost but raises herself with hope that she would go to Tara and think. And surely there is some way to bring him back. I draw my inspiration from this book when i feel low

Wonderful analysis. Just enjoyed it. I too draw my strength from living in thr past. I just love Scarlett and Vivien Leigh was the only one who could play it so well

I can;t understand why you don't have more subs! Great analysis.

It has been estimated that since its release in 1939, the film has sold over 2,000,000,000 tickets throughout the world. No other film even comes close to that figure. Keep in mind that when it was released, the average movie ticket was about 50 cents.

Read the good book ROAD TO TARA for the story of the original creation of the work. Also read DAVID O SELZNICK'S HOLLYWWOD for a fascinating backstage view of the film's creation.

Jeez you upload 3 years ago and still have low views you deserve more

All I want to say is: thnak you! You're the first person talking about the movie and do not apologize for the slaves, or the "marital rape" ... maybe you have opinions about it, but talking about the movie per se was very pleasant. Thank you, again!

Olivia De Havilland was gorgeous beyond belief...Clark Gable was the OG Alpha Male who foolheartedly believed in love with a childish woman, Scarlett shot a Yankee in the face, this movie has everything. Whatever happened to Prissy?

I get the people might like this movie because they saw it when they were young, but the writing js terrible, the acting isn’t particularly good, there’s nothing at all special in the cinematography or the music and the story is boring and predictable. I’d love to hear someone explain why they like this film that goes beyond “I like it”.

Great review, thank you ❤

What a brilliant review. I was especially impressed by the observation that the saturated colours contribute to captivating us and giving us the sense of having spent a lifetime with the characters. I think Steiner's music helps too; GWTW is the closest we come to an opera, I think. In any rate, there's something about the film that remains unsurpassable, still today.

Don't know if this is true but I have read more that once that a 7 year old Elizabeth Taylor was almost cast as Bonnie Blue Butler.

I've been lucky enough to have actually seen it on a big screen more than once.

Love this channel! 🎥🍿😊

Thank you for this review and honoring this fantastic production. I completely agree with you about virtuous protagonists making a better story. You have really good taste in movies - I've never been into James Bond but I'll have to give Casino Royale a try. We watched the Fugitive because of you and enjoyed it. Almost all of the Jane Austen mid 90's adaptations were very good and set the standard. Earlier versions strayed from the story too much or were too stiff and more recent adaptations completely miss the spirit of Jane Austen. I have a fondness for any story where the upper class tries to live up to their privilege. I remember speaking with a wealthy friend who went to a public school in a very high end area and I asked her if there were a lot of mean girls. She said that no, the popular girls at her school during her time were gracious and giving which set the tone for the entire school. She remembered them fondly. By the way, have you seen Whit Stillman's Metropolitan? I have a feeling you would appreciate it. A perfect movie for Christmas break. Godspeed friend!

Thank you for bringing to light this wonderful series!! I taped it off AMC back in the day and made my 3 daughters at least give it a try. Ages 10 to 15 and they were mesmerized. It never gets old, except the opening credits, but minor issue.

I’ve only seen 1-5 (maybe 6?). Time to catch up.

I enjoy your reviews because they help me appreciate how much more thought and subtext go into these movies than I realize at first watch. Keep it up!

Thanks for the review! Just so you know, you are one of the few movie review youtubers that I have subscribed to. You actually make me want to watch movies to try to understand the meanings behind scenes and how they are constructed. I still think about your Godzilla video from a few years back, surprisingly enough. Your video is the main reason I want to watch it! Thanks for all you are doing here!

You missed the point of the movie. Look closer and you’ll notice that in Scarlett’s efforts to survive in her cruel circumstances, she becomes a worse and worse person at every turn. She starts out as a petulant, spoiled child, not unusual for girls her age, but with every strife she experiences she chooses to become more self-centered and evil. We watch her over and over again at the very cusp of becoming a better person, but instead she chooses to be worse. Melanie is the true picture of strength because she chooses to become kinder and more selfless despite her cruel circumstances. The theme of the movie isn’t just the vague notion of Change. The theme is “suffering is inevitable and it will change you. You are the one who decides whether that strife will turn you into a better or worse person”

Good movie with racist views from a racist generation who now all have answered to God.

This Japanese director was also a fan of Shakespeare which manifested itself into his films: The Bad Sleep Well (Hamlet), Ran (King Lear) and Throne of Blood (Macbeth).

The new movies lack the real footage used in the older ones and the real grit is missing in the CGI versions. Also actors who lived it were much more real.

I have watched 2013 Lincoln. Dances with Wolves 1990. Set in the year of 1863.

I believe that, The Story of Little Women ends in the year of 1868. Surely.

I have heard of that, The 1860s were the darkest decade of the 19th Century. Golden Age of Tragic Rail Train Crashes. More Railways & Railroads ment more deaths! There was also the golden age of Scarlet Fevers. American Civil War 1861-1865.

🎉

I watched this immediately after having read the book, and I have to say I wasn’t the biggest fan. I felt like it took a lot of Scarlett’s accomplishments away from her and threw it at Ashley. Specifically in building her business, it splits it between the two of them when originally it was ALL Scarlett. The movie really gutted my favorite parts of her.
