Film Analysis Of The Movie : Gone With The Wind

Southern society is portrayed in this novel and shows the complexity of how women were required to act in public, especially around men. Single, young females wanted to get married as soon as possible. For example, Scarlett and her mother were both married at the age of sixteen, and plenty of other girls were engaged at younger ages. In order to get a beau, “young girls must be…sweet, gentle, beautiful and ornamental, but, after marriage, they were expected to manage households that numbered a hundred people or more…” (57). Women were forced to quickly transition from young and flirty to quiet and strict. When a husband died, the widow had to dye all of her clothes black, wear a veil, could not have on jewelry, and was not permitted to even

Additionally, the novel “Scarlett,” a sequel to Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With the Wind,” continues a story that was already over. Similar to Vince Gilligan’s comments on “Breaking Bad” being about Walter White going from a “good guy” to a “bad guy,” “Gone With the Wind” is not so much a “story of the old south” but a story about selfish and carefree Scarlett O’Hara going from a pampered, childish little girl to a mature,

For my eight film review I watched “The Revenant” (2015) which was directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and written by Mark L. Smith and Alejandro G. Iñárritu. It cost about $135,000,000 to produce, but has since made all of that and more back. “The Revenant” won Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, Best Achievement in Directing, and Best Achievement in Cinematography. It was also nominated for 9 other Oscars including Best Motion Picture of the Year. This film was very well made and it deserves all its nominations and awards.

Williams’ allusion to “Gone with the wind”, a romantic, escapist fiction, particularly the type published in the “Home-maker's Companion” detailing Scarlett O’hara’s experiences is symbolic of Amanda’s inability to reconcile with the past and her old-fashioned view of the world. Comparatively, D.H Lawrence who lauds the sensual, instinctive, earthy dimension is symbolic of Tom’s adventurous desires, modern view of the world and allude to Tom’s literary ambition. Amanda’s description of Lawrence's books as "filth" is used by William’s to highlight Tom and Amanda’s starkly contrasting desires and the illusionary worlds, provoking that audience to question family dynamics and character’s inability to reconcile with the past.

When she was a child, Scarlett appeared lavish, feminine like her mother but behaved like her father, she liked to ride horse, climb tree, throw rocks,… The sign of feminist happens when she breaks the traditional rules in Georgia – local has been full of praxis. She doesn’t like to wear black-clothes when going into mourning her first husband and also dances with Rhett at the charity party. Besides, Scarlett opposes ancient ideas especially becomes a business when “There were no women in business in Atlanta” and even marries three times. She is also strong, strong to protect herself, her family and even Tara. It’s undeniable that she really cares about money because if she doesn’t have, it will kill her, kill all she loves. She is also courageous to shoot the soldier, to ask marry Rhett when out of money, to arrange housework, to run lumber mill on her own and to ignore what others speak ill of her. The only thing she concerns is Tara and the destiny of her

Margaret Mitchell's romantic epic, Gone With the Wind, owes its remarkable popularity to the climate of sudden self-destruction and dreariness the Depression created. The Old South's grandeur, coupled with its Civil War-era decadence, provided much-needed escapism for readers, as well as paralleling the U.S.'s own plight in the 20s and 30s. In addition, Scarlett O'Hara's feminist role, her devotion to her land, and her indomitable optimism lent hope to those who had lost faith in the American Dream.

The Wizard of OZ (1939) is a fantasy film that allows the audience to escape reality and be transported to the magical land of OZ. Judy Garland plays the main character of Dorothy and stars alongside The lion, scarecrow, and tinman as they take a lesson filled journey to find the great wizard of OZ to help them get what they want the most. The Wizard of OZ shows us that not only is there, “No place like home” but also that we are all stronger than we think and that we should believe in ourselves and know that sometimes what we need is already there. The movie, The Wizard of OZ shows us this through costuming, acting, cinematography, and overall design.

In the film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, is the created “social conflict between old and new social forms within the Southern region… within one individual,” (Gaillard 2) – and that individual is Scarlett O’hara. Through Scarlett, Mitchell “leaves her audience feeling… nostalgia” for the last South, but also with “pride” for surviving the tragedy of the civil war (2). In the Old South, Scarlett was spoiled and took the luxuries of her life for granted. As the story progresses to the New South Scarlett realizes the value of money and becomes ruthless in profit of monetary gain. Scarlett also uses her marriage for differing reasons in pre and post-antebellum eras, previously, she used her marriage to Charles Hamilton

The Scarlett Letter, is about a young mistress named Hester Prynne. In 1666, after moving to the Massachusetts Bay Colony from England to await her husbands arrival, Hester beings to fall in love with the town’s pastor, Arthur Dimmesdale. Roger Prynne, Hester’s husband, and all other passengers of an English ship are presumed dead in the aftermath of an attack. After she and Arthur consummate their love, Hester finds herself pregnant. Hester soon becomes the subject of idle gossip among the colonists after she shares her radical thoughts and views on the Bible and the Puritan way of life. Two of the other mistresses in the colony also witnessed Hester become ill on two separate occasions during the morning hours, so she is called to appear before the Elders of the colony to be accused of Heresy, Fornication, and Adultery. Hester is then arrested and imprisoned for her indiscretion. On the day of giving birth to her bastard child, Pearl, Hester is humiliated in front of the entire town and made to wear a red “A” for adulterer on her chest and to also followed around by a drummer boy that bangs his drum wherever she goes in public. Roger Prynne resurfaces and was never actually killed by the Indians, but was captured and held prisoner. After learning about the scandal of his wife, Roger joins the colony under an alias, “Dr. Roger Chillingworth”. Roger eventually scalps and kills a male colonist that he thought was Arthur, and blames the murder on the Algonquian Indians, which prompts the declaration of war on the Indians by the colonists. Roger commits suicide for his wrong doings, Hester and Arthur abandon the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the scarlet letter to set out for Carolina to start a new life.

The Great Gatsby, a story that I have admired since high school, became a huge inspiration to teachers and students through its imagery and symbolism. Stemming from the book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925, there have been several attempts to accurately demonstrate Fitzgerald’s publishing in film form. “Gatsby has had four film adaptations, with two especially big-budget, well-known movies: the 1974 version starring Robert Redford and the 2013 film with Leonardo DiCaprio. There was also a silent film adaptation made in 1926, just one year after the novel came out, but that film has been lost, with only a one-minute trailer that survives to attest to its existence” (Wulick). Although The Great Gatsby has several adaptations, the 2013 film starring Leonardo Dicaprio was particularly exciting due to the level of technology behind the film industry at that the time. I immediately became excited after I heard about the production, and it lived up to every expectation I had through traditional film techniques alongside modern film techniques. Obtaining the American dream is the most prominent message in The Great Gatsby, and is clearly demonstrated through music, costume, lighting, and camera angles.

Sometimes we fail to realize the impact we have on the lives of strangers. Something as small as spare change has the power to impact the way a strangers entire day turns out. The silent film, “Change”, starts with an overhead extreme close up of an unseen stranger’s hand shaking spare change, walking down a city block. The shot follows them walking down the street, following their point of view until they come to a complete stop at an can on the ground with a few coins and crumpled dollar bills in it and looks around it to see original works of art on display. The unseen stranger looks up to see a young black woman dressed in slightly tattered and old clothing. She sits behind the art display, silently working on another work of art as people glance at her and keep walking. The unseen stranger stops jingling the change in his hand for a beat before putting the rest of his change in the can in front of the artist. The artist hears the jingling of the change in her can and looks up from her art with a soft smile and light eyes. The two strangers share a comfortable silence, gratitude in the artist’s eyes before the camera turns to reveal the stranger’s face and goes close on the warmth of his eyes. The stranger smiles and walks away. The camera stays with the artist.

Ridley Scott directed Blade Runner (1982) after his latest hit Alien (1979) This is the start of major fame and recognition in his career and he is still cementing his unique vision onto the industry. The Film is located in a dark futuristic city yet vibrant with neon lights and crowds of people but this world has lots of backstory with off-world colonies and advanced technology. The film is loosely based on a novel called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) By Philip K. Dick both having the same plot and sharing the same world. Blade Runner has a dark futuristic city vibe yet vibrant with neon lights and crowds of people. The way Scott makes us move through the city in a bird's eye view at odd angles when moving to a new location draws a sense of awe seeing these massive structures and this endless sprawling city in its midst. Camera work is used to make you feel claustrophobic in this packed tight city. The set was almost entirely filmed indoors making this movie very dark, with an ambient controlled environment.

“I will think about it tomorrow” Scarlett O’Hara. Gone with the wind is an epic historical film that was adapted from a book by Margaret Mitchell’s. This film was the greatest firm of all times.
