VHS Movie Reviews of Gone with the Wind [VHS]
Movie Review: Very disappointed that this is not wide screen.
Summary: 1 Stars
I never thought that the Blue-Ray version of a grate movie would not be wide-screen. The lost beauty for the full panoramas is very disappointing. I'm sending it back and waiting for the real thing. Plus the music has lost something. I don't think they bothered to re-master it. Compare the sound to MP3 downloads from Amazon and you will hear the difference.Movie Review: The Omission of Hattie McDaniel's bio
Summary: 4 Stars
Acknowledgements of the African American actors were ignored in the re-packaged version of GWTW.
I am especially disgusted that Hattie McDaniel was not given a biography page(or 2 actually) as were given to the other stars. This is considering the fact that GWTW is considered a national treasure and that she is more 'American' than Vivien Leigh and some of the other stars.
Both her parents were slaves, and by virtue of this fact, they directly contributed to the South's wealth. In addition, her father, Henry McDaniel served in Tennessee's Twelfth United States Colored Infantry, which mean he fought for the South! In fact, after the war, he was crippled for life.
The 70th anniversary team had a chance to re-write history but they instead chose to ignore including her biography, and thus, her and her family's contributions to the South. They had a chance to teach America's increasingly diverse population that its history was multi faceted but they chose not to.
I find that this racist omission/re-writing of history is similar to the assertion by Ashley Wilkes (in the scene where he is opposing Scarlett's use of prison workers for their company) in the film that slaves were not treated badly. Ha! Such a joke.
I hope that subsequent editions take this history into account, because if not the actions presented as historical truth will always leave a bitter taste when I hear of GWTW.
Movie Review: Code free, with german language track
Summary: 5 Stars
First: this US BluRay release is Code Free, and contains a german soundtrack
Limited of 150'000 pieces.
Picture quality is amazing.
Bonus features: the set is wonderful with many interesting documentaries and interviews. Specially very interesting is: "Melanie Remember" with Olivia De Havilland. She talk with so much love about her experience during the making of the movie.
Thanks Olivia De Havilland for that Interview you gave in 2004 and thanks to WB for the wonderful release!
Movie Review: the smackmaster general is dealing
Summary: 5 Stars
there's much for men to love about "GONE WITH THE WIND" ? did i just type that ? the greatest pleasure for men in this admittedly awesome soap opera is no doubt the peerless CLARK GABLE . i've seen a raft of film in my 4 1/2 + decades on this sphere . i have never witnessed an actor relish delivering such a smack laden performance in my life . at the very peak of his formidable game GABLE dug in and truly delivered the goods . it's all a hoot . the woman are lovely . the story very involving . the production incredible . the direction fantastic . you take GABLE out of the equation though ? great film . phenomenal performance . check it out if you haven't already . Movie Review: not a true story.
Summary: 5 Stars
the love story in gone with the wind is not a true story about the authours grandmother . part of it did come from stories she sat around and listen to from her grandmother the lovers in her book are named after her own men in her life . ms mitchell we will always love gone with the wind. the best movie ever. thank you [...] have been on the hunt for this movie for years now.
