Gone with the wind,,,


 A movie about a lady named Scarlett O'Hara, set in southern states of USA(Atlanta,,etc), during the American Civil War.
It was a 3 hours 50 minutes movie. But, I never got bored except for the 5 longs minutes title and intermission screens with some music :)
You see such an amount of *Passion* in some of the movies that, you can just feel it while watching the movie. 


Scarlett O'Hara:
Seventy to Eighty percent of the screen time would have been occupied by the Film's main character Scarlett. The artist has acted so nicely during all the kind of scenes involving *blushing, flirting, jealous, sobbing, caring, stubborn, hatred, anger, innocence, love to family, love for land, love for a man, love to a friend, selfish, fear, funny, shame, sympathy and may be some more*. I had come up with above words just by recollecting the scenes from the movie without much trouble.
The character is not a great one or wicked one. It's too complex to put in some bucket. At times you hate her for some things and at times, you will love her. And that is how all(atleast most of) human beings can be. You can't just be perfect in eyes of everyone. She gets scared seeing a problem, but immediately recovers and faces it with bravery instead of running away. I just loved her character through out the movie.


Rhett Butler:
A man who knows how to live the life to the fullest. Understands the people deeply. He is *The Problem Solver*. Knows how to handle people n situations. Many at times, he is very selfish, not caring about anything more than himself. But, at time of need surely goes to any extent to help the friends.
He is in deep love for Scarlett knowing from the beginning that she loves some one else. Tries to woo her and ignore her when it does not work. But, finally gives up and marries her.
What ever he does, he gives his 100% fighting for the nation, helping the friends, having FUN(drinks n girls), loving a woman, loving his daughter. We will just feel, that is how we should be :)


Melanie Hamilton:
A perfect humanitarian. A loving wife, caring friend, caring human. 
A very simple n straight character in the movie.


Ashley Wilkes:
Starts off a great character, but doesn't end a great one. Hates war completely but joins it as it was more bad to ignore it. Little confused one in case of *love* [Probably, his confusion is the reason for the whole movie :)]. But still greatly *cares* his wife and by the end looks like completely loves her too,,,


These are the four characters the movie is all about. There are many other things that go on in the movie but all of them around the above four.


The movie is made at leisure. Never you will see any hurry. Also, never you see a scene just for the heck of it.


It feels good to see such movies made or books written with such great love n passion.
