This is perfect for all relationships: family, friends, love. You can't just say Sorry every time you mess up and not change anything about your behavior
Sounds like the advice my wonderful mother would’ve given me. Being sorry for trying to make up for the past this and always work. Scarlet wanted something she would never have and that was true love. She was so self-centered she thought the entire world revolves around her and no one else. It’s a crying shame!
@@Americanpatriot-zo2tk someone whos character that sadly resonates with me almost to just about everything.not so.much as self centered not completely narcissistic but in between all those yet full of passion fire heart only thing was wanting the challenge if something one can't have and Finally realizing you never really wanted it to begin with i think? Eveyone can relate to that in some way or another i cant say shes a total self centered narcissistic personality disorder because somewhere in there she can feel love towards others but more or less a weakness inside a scared frightened child but still capable of love
@Αργυρώ Κέκου I have a gorgeous niece, only 3 years younger than myself, she said to me the other day... “watch out for the vampires”...... Yeah , you bet, these ones don’t just take your blood, they suck your soul, I replied.. Nothing wrong with armouring yourself Αργυρώ.
Man, this is as true to life as it gets. Nothing is sadder than realizing you truly love someone by the time it’s too late, when “I’m sorry” and “I love you” mean nothing anymore.
Yes there’s nothing worse than loving someone but ruining it because of ego and pride and in the end you realise your mistakes but by then it’s already too late and sorry means nothing anymore
Everybody remembers "I don't give a damn." The line that always cracks me up is "here, have a handkerchief. Never, at any crisis in your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief."
Have you noticed the music becomes cheery and light when Rhett stalks out? Then sinks when Scarlett is left alone again. That was her happiness walking out on her.
@@nikothenarwhal5672 yes, and that’s because the melody is Rhett’s theme. I think its cheeriness also represents Rhett’s moment of triumph as he walks out on her.
Gerald, Scarlett’s father, was right in the end. At the end of the day, land is the only thing that lasts. Scarlett may have lost Rhett, Bonnie, Melanie, and Ashley, but she still has Tara and Tara will always be there for her. The ending is as uplifting as it is tragic.
@@12classics39 you.miss a deep point as it was rheet butler whos vouce she hears say this is were you get your strength the red earth of Tara it was her place of recovery strength deep roots to her childhood her family from three she would be able to find her way strength and soul again
“After all, tomorrow is another day.” What a perfect line to end the movie on. Because at the end of the day, the romance, the war, the drama, the heartbreaks, the poverty, the success, the tragedies were all secondary to the core theme of the movie: survival. I also think at the end, Scarlett doesn’t truly love Rhett; she just thinks she does. I think the only thing she’s ever truly loved and will ever love was Tara, the land itself.
I have always felt exactly the same way about this. Scarlett only ever seems to want that which she cannot have. Once she has it, she's bored. In her despair, she remembers her father's words and it fills her heart with joy, realizing the only thing that truly keeps her happy is Tara.
1:26, "I want peace...I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life with charm and grace." Words that ring true ever more so today in this increasingly ugly world...
She loves Ashley as a tie to her childhood and the now-gone way of life. Ashley lusts for her, but actually loves Melanie. She could never see this till the end and it was too late, Rhett was sick of it all and her. A harsh, but realistic ending. It's great that the movie didn't feel need for a happy ending. She made her bed and now has to lie in it...alone.
+Terry Cassidy Actually, I would argue it IS a happy ending. It was only when Scarlett had lost everything that she realized that what she had really wanted all along was to go home to Tara.
It was for me a very satisfying closing. It's certainly not an ending, Scarlett is still a very young woman, in her twenties. Just a terrific, ever, evolving saga.
Exactly, it is. I just got through watching it all the way through for the first time. But I still wish I could see a digitized IB Tech print of it some day.
"I want peace. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace. You know what I'm talking about?" My absolute favorite movie quote.
I think had she actually understood what he meant, he would have hesitated and stay abit longer. Throughout the movie Scarllet and Rhett misunderstand eachother even thou they are somewhat similar.
When I was a girl I loved this movie and I would watch it over and over. I thought it was so romantic. Now that I have watched it again as an adult I see how foolish it all was. Here Scarlett was chasing after a man that didn't care a whit for her when all the time Rhett (a real man) was there for her, sacrificing for her, taking care of her and she treated him like dirt. Ridiculous and sad. I wonder how many people still do that today in real life. Don't get me wrong I still like certain aspects of the film, but she lost him because of her foolishness.
I totally agree with you, but sadly in reality there are cases like this in relationships till today and that's what it tops it in this film. Certain people are too blind to see who really loves them and they always want that someone out of their reach. It's tough love in the real world so that's one of the reasons why this film has won so many awards, it is simply the reality that not all relationships end with a fairytale happy ending.
Blue Star The flamboyant ones in the closet that are so insecure in themselves they blame them for their own shit when it’s really between them. They can do no wrong.
I disagree. Rhett did the same thing Scarlett did to Ashley - making "a moon over nothing" and the fact he left at the end proves he never really loved her to begin with.
The way she said no i only know that i love you was the most sincere moment of her entire life the words she said hed never hear from her she was wrong but when she finally said it it didn't mean anything to him anymore how true this moment mirrors.life how true going home again can uplift you when you are a part of the land you so love and feel it pulling you home a secret security lives within.that whenever you search for greener grass and realize it doesn't exist you can allways go home again the.floors walls.are sacred with the innocence of the past the eyes from you once saw the world in all its splendor and glory memories that you cab wrap around you to bring a smile back and keep.you warm when the world gets cold and dark
I hated this movie because I thought it was a sappy tragic romance. Now I hate this movie because it makes too much sense for me this ending. This truly is one of the greatest movies ever made.
I finally watched this movie for the first time this week. My wife, who's seen it multiple times (and has read the book) watched it with me. I was glad. This scene is an incredible ending, and its emotional impact only comes after viewing the epic story that precedes it. Rhett's final line has new meaning for me!
Imagine living with such a person as Scarlett in real life. And although I admire the character's strength and spirit - she just wouldn't hear anyone but herself. It's her who kept 'not giving a damn' about people who loved her, all the time. There was (and is, in fact) nothing in her life but 'I want'. As to Rett, I assume he doesn't hate her, there's no anger in him, he's just tired and empty, like a cold fireplace. She ruined it herself. And, much as I would like a happy ending here, I don't believe in it in real life. Not because Rett will not want it. But she hasn't changed.
I agree with you. At this point, he is cold and empty. The fire has gone out for years. The death of Bonnie (then Melanie) pretty much put the nail in the coffin. I find it very interesting, the moment Melanie who's the 'moral' center character died, Rhett didn't even wait to leave town.
You obviously didn't pay attention the whole scene she said about Ashley ive loved something that dosen't Matter it isn't real and somehow i dont care somehow it.dosent Matter she ran looking for rhett but he was done she was too late
Also remember when she tells rhett about the recycled nightmare she cold and she can't find what shes looking for he asled what she replied and said i don't know it seems to be hidden in the mist when she ran back home through the mist it was het dream nightmare come true and she deep dowm did love him when she was sick it was rhett she called out for not ashley
Its not just this scene that makes me emotional alone, it’s also the prelude to all the young innocent men who’ve watched this film that would lose their lives shortly after in World War II.
@@terribhatt8917 Not as simple as that. Why wasn't Clark shot down? Leslie was politically involved so his plane was shot down on orders. He was 2 honest and was taken care off.
What beautiful poetic lines Gable delivers before he leaves..." Id like to think that Bonnie was you...a little girl again....when she left she took everything"
Whatever. Her child died and he gave her no slack. His too, yes -- the true love of his life in a sense. But he acts as if he is so perfect and honestly, he's not. He says she has to grow up, but he had to do some growing too. However, I think she needed to let go of all of her childish fantasies once and for all to finally get it for herself. And therefore, he had to leave. There was no way she'd grow up if she got her way even with Rhett.
Alli Campbell Did you ever read the book or just see the film? If you did you could never say he thought he was too honest andn perfect. He states quite clearly that he was hard and unscrupulous.
Like so many people do. They dont realize what a wonderful thing they have until they lose it and it is gone. She lost two wonderful things. Rett and Melanie's love and devotion to her.
I love the two camps that form with fans of this movie. People either say "Scarlet always succeeds, she'll find a way to get him back." or they say "He is DONE, done with that crap." I'm in the latter camp.
I love her character so much. In this scene, we see the stuff Scarlett O'Hara is made of, and we thrive to see that she will never accept defeat, even when things look their worst.
@@PJVids83 I'm sorry for the (very) late reply, but I don't see it as a subtle happy ending, but as Pat Rick pointed out, it's all about the attitude one has during hard times.
She never could win Ashley in the first place; she only realizes that, at the end of the film and let him go. So there`s no evidence in that ending, that she would get Rhett back. The only thing we know is that she`s gonna try... but knowing Rhett`s big ego, he would eventually treat her like a piece of s..it. So their relationship are doomed.
Vivian Leigh deserved her Oscar. No actor will ever top her performance as Scarlett - or Blanche DuBois, for that matter. She was amazing in Ship of Fools too. Her last film (1967). She and Lee Marvin steel that film. She led such a tortured life due to mental illness, but poured her all into her craft. She WAS Scarlett and Blanche and playing both women took their toll on her.
I agree. i think she was only 19 when she came back to Tara---very young to have all that responsiblity put on her shoulders. I think she had PTSD for the 2 nd half of the movie.
She felt vaguely comforted, strengthened by the picture, and some of her hurt and frantic regret was pushed from the top of her mind. She stood for a moment remembering small things, the avenue of dark cedars leading to Tara, the banks of cape jessamine bushes, vivid green against the white walls, the fluttering white curtains. And Mammy would be there. Suddenly she wanted Mammy desperately, as she had wanted her when she was a little girl, wanted the broad bosom on which to lay her head, the gnarled black hand on her hair. Mammy, the last link with the old days. With the spirit of her people who would not know defeat, even when it stared them in the face, she raised her chin. She could get Rhett back. She knew she could. There had never been a man she couldn’t get, once she set her mind upon him. “I’ll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”
You know... as much as it broke my hear to say... I am happy how now a end of a relationship is something common. Even if it break your heart, you can go on and you know you will live... you may find another love... back than marriage was not that simple... In her case he was everything she still had. That is so strong, so cruel, so... is not his fault of course. But... she is really strong. Really strong
True classic movie of 1939, Clark Gable was great as Rhett Butler with that famous quote "Franky My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn!" But Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara was the main star of this classic and of course I love that line "Tomorrow Is Another Day!"😅 Thank you!
Well, that ending scene and that music .....and this whole movie .... this cast.... all in all, a tremendous proof that humankind managed to achieve unbelievable things 💎
So, that's how this movie ends, huh? It actually ends with Clarke Gable uttering that infamous line and leaving Scarlett to weep and wail on her own. Wow. Part of me always thought this was the intermission scene.... guess not.
@@LukeLovesRose I think to a certain extent you can empathize with both Scarlett and Rhett despite their flaws. Scarlett is a persistent leader that never gives up even in the worse of times but is also incredibly manipulative, selfish, and opportunistic. Rhett lacks qualities of being a gentleman, played games instead of finding true love, and even went as far as to s*xu*lly a*sault Scarlett in one scene. Despite this, he does everything for Scarlett and tries to make the best out of his marriage by being a good husband and father. That's also why I think Scarlett and Rhett had such good chemistry, they were absolute messes that stumbled upon each other and almost made it work out (if it weren't for Scarlett's selfishness and Bonnie's eventual death). That's the great thing about these characters, they're more than just one archetype. They have layers to them which allows people to have different perspectives on them. For example, there are some people who despise Scarlett and those that thing she's a strong heroine.
I think both Scarlett and Rhett were at fault and simply brought out the worst in each other. Rhett knew Scarlett was in love with Ashley and he knew Scarlett didn’t love him. She never bothered to lie to him about it. Yet Rhett pursued her in the hopes of changing her mind. Being honest you cannot change a person. They would have to be the ones to change for themselves. Most people won’t change unless they hit rock bottom, this clip being an example. Rhett was never honest with her. For example saying he wasn’t a marrying man and pretending he didn’t marry her for love. He had a point that Scarlett does hurt the people who love her, I’m probably paraphrasing, but again being honest without trust there can be no love. Being with someone that can only bring out the worst in you isn’t healthy.
The most successful and profitable film of all time (when adjusted for inflation). Its final line tells you everything you need to know about what makes film magic, why films mean so much to us and why this particular film is/was so loved. “After all.. Tomorrow… is another day…” It’s about hope, hope in the most hopeless and tragic of circumstances, hope even when the story you’re in is ending as a tragedy. Even if everything is lost, it’s that strength to find that tiny light of hope in the darkness even if it isn’t there and to look up and out for it and to say that you’ll find it, even if you can’t and won’t ever see it. The film all leads up to and concludes on this line and it’s completely emblematic of why films capture our hearts and minds… and this film captured it the most perfectly. The most profitable film of all time ending on those words… “Tomorrow is another day” and that final epic piece of music is just cinematic perfection.
Good movie. He gave all of himself for years. And she didn't even care until it was to late. He loved her. But she didn't love him. Until his heart was spent. Waiting for it to be returned . Strength. The last line has always been with me. I know what it means. Finally.
Np she truly loved him all along only oike Melanie said much more than she knows when she finally realized it it was too late ahhh how many of us experienced that
@@steveadams7940 She really didn’t, she loved that other guy. That she had a huge crush on, was his name Stuart? She loved him, and Rhett knew that so he left. He only stayed for his daughter. So when his daughter died, he had no reason to stay.
She did call out for him when she was sick. But Mammy didn't hear her clearly. She was delirious & calling Rhett's name. God, I wish Mammy would've had better hearing.
That's the tragic part. Still... she embraced freaking Ashley after seeing Melanie for the last time, totally ignoring Rhett... as if his (her husband) feelings dont matter. This woman showed no affection or even kindness toward Rhett. Unfortunately she realized it far too late
Moral of the story: move on, move up, let go of the past (your ex, heartbreak, illusions, etc) and appreciate who you have TODAY because tomorrow is so uncertain and everything good right now...can walk away.
I thought the moral of the story was other: no matter what a crappy day your are facing today, tomorrow is another day, another chance to improve and make things different.
Rhett Butler is honestly one of my favorite fictional characters ever. Literally the embodiment of what proper masculinity should look like. He's honest, candid, witty, consistently willing to spit straight facts, even when no one else wants to hear it, and he's able to go after a girl he's interested in without being an absolute simp. He gives Scarlett every opportunity to be happy with him, he provides for her every need and desire, he gives her the same life of luxury she grew up with, and when it becomes clear that she still won't reciprocate his feelings, he does the most Chad thing he could and more or less walks away in the most hilariously non-chalant and indifferent way possible. No tears, no crying, no "oh I don't wanna do this". Literally just "I tried, didn't work out, I'm out bitch"
I could not help notice how you used the word bitch to describe her. Yes that would be about right, however it's interesting that by not lowering himself to name calling Rhett walks out with dignity & grace. Some we could try to bring back in today's profanity filled discussions on feelings of the sexes.
That time period was so romanticized in literature and films...I wonder if it was really all that they pumped it up to be. I still can't believe she let him go...
@@hotwax9376 Rhett should have at least cut her some slack. She lost her father, her children, her best friend, everyone. Her world was already falling apart before he left her.
@@musiciangal02453sorry but no she treat him like shit and she paid the price for it spent so long obsessing over someone who didnt want her and he finally had enough of her bs even vivian did not defend her 🤔🤔
No alpha males like him anymore....he pulls it off perfectly...great posture and diction...nothing over the top...all natural.Its just stunning to watch him
I just saw "Gone With the Wind" on my 4-Disc Collector's Edition DVD (Not the 70th Anniversary release, but the one before it.) Interesting how this film ends. As somebody said, it really divides viewers into two camps: Those for are relieved for Rhett, and those who are heartbroken for Scarlett. The interesting thing though is, I'm a guy, but I'm actually in Scarlett's viewer camp. Even if I never know the outcome, I have no doubt that Scarlett will eventually win Rhett back... if she wants him desperately, and persistently enough, she'll find a way. I actually admire Scarlett's determination, and I'm actually a lot like her. What Rhett doesn't understand is that there ARE people in this world that take a VERY long time to come around to their senses, and just because the person that was wronged gives up on them all of a sudden doesn't mean that the offender hasn't seen the error of their ways. Only Scarlett can determine that. I recently poured through the book at a library, and was mildly curious to see what it had to say, and I was touched by how it described Scarlett's mind finally coming full circle. It's clear that Scarlett finally learned to fully and genuinely love Rhett - and it's Rhett's fault that he doesn't believe her. The way I see it, if Scarlett believes to her very core that she needs Rhett's forgiveness, have at it. I notice that Rhett leaves THINKING he has the final word, but Scarlett's tearful declaration: "Tomorrow is another day" shows that Scarlett actually has the final word. Well made...
+Christopher Russell Well said. GTTW is one of my favourite films of all time and it's not just because I love the book but also because of how cleverly the film makers transferred the book into film. Your psycho analysis of GTTW surprised me as I never thought of the concept of a Rhett viewer camp and Scarlett viewer camp. I'm more of a Rhett viewer fan though I could understand where Scarlett was coming from and I also admired her determination.
+Christopher Russell We never find out if she wins Rhett back, but it doesn't really matter. She realized that Tara was what she really wanted, and she got it.
I really love her too but I also don't think she gets him back. He said it himself, the loss of a child has a big effect on the emotions and relationships. He had transfered all his love to Bonnie and after her death just didn't really care about Scarlett anymore.
Titanic, Gone Wind The Wind and Casablanca (despite all of its WW2 propaganda) are the greatest, most romantic and devastating love stories committed to film. They also feature 3 of the greatest, most emotional endings in film history.
Would people give a damn to see Rhett and Scarlett somehow getting back together? I am sure at least many would! Of course it is impossible to remake a film that was and is 100 percent absolute perfection and there is no way the 4 main characters could be played by anyone else. Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Vivien Leigh and Olivia de Havilland, who died only 2 years ago at 104, will always have a very special place in cinema history for Gone With the Wind alone.
When this film came out in 1939 the now famous line was shocking to hear back then. And in fact, the people behind the film had to consider alternative lines in case they weren’t allowed to use the line that was used in the original book (which is the same with the exception of the word “frankly”). One of which was: “Frankly my dear I don’t give a hoot.” Now, I love Clark Gable and he’s one of my all time favorite actors, but even back then, I think he would have been laughed at if he said that. Also, when they were finally given the okay to use the line, they had to pay $1,000 just to get that 1 word in. Which would be the equivalent of $18,382.46 in today’s money. Also, I almost put this film at #1 on my list of “Top 10 Best Films Of All Time” but I put it at #2 and instead put Rear Window (1954) as my #1 favorite film of all time.
Nine years before GWTW, the BBC's first television play, 'The Man with the Flower in His Mouth', had used 'damn' and nobody, er, gave a damn. It also used 'cancer', which in Hollywood was such a taboo even in 1960 that 'Ocean's 11' could only call it 'the big casino'. The Hays Office stipulated that Gable should half-swallow the d-word by emphasizing 'give'.
I have such mixed feelings about the question “do they or don’t they get back together?”... this film ends on such a brilliantly hopeful note and this version of Rhett and Scarlett still have a certain energy and vitality to them that makes you feel like anything is still possible, especially with those voiceovers and the amazing music! But in the book... I know that Margaret Mitchell left it completely up to the personal opinion of her readers and *technically/canonically* (as far as books authorized by MM’s estate go) they DO get back together... but personally I don’t think there was any way they could. The whole final chapter is just an out-of-shape, old, exhausted Rhett explaining just how much he loved her and just how little he cares now... and he doesn’t just walk out on her, he even says he’ll come home often enough to keep down the gossip (which is somehow worse in my mind than just walking out... it’s like he’s so sure that he’ll never love her again that he’s entirely capable of coming back to her several times a year just for appearance’s sake and nothing more), and the line “my dear, I don’t give a damn” is much less snappy in the book, it’s just depressing. And though the hopeful lines at the end are the same in the book as they are in the film they just don’t seem nearly as possible in the book. They seem like Scarlett being overly self-confident in her abilities to win him back. I think the most realistic ending is that Scarlett has learned her lesson and does grow as a person and takes care of hers and Melanie’s children and the other people that depend on her, and she likely thinks of ways to win Rhett back but based on his heavy drinking... I’d wager he dies of acute liver failure or some other health problem just a few years after the novel ends. Now *maybe* they have some kind of deathbed reconciliation but whether or not they do isn’t really important. The important thing is that Scarlett grows and learns to love and appreciate the people she still has (especially her children) and that Rhett gets a little bit of peace before the end
Indeed. I think after this, she resolved to live the way Melanie lived - keeping a loving eye out for others rather than herself - to honor her memory. It probably took her a while to change her ways, but I think she has sufficient perseverance and devotion to Melanie to eventually succeed. The book describes, much more vividly than the film’s depiction, how much she really loved Melanie and how heartsick and horror-stricken she is that she never appreciated Melanie while she had her.
scarlet die first before rheet because she is frail woman rheet will have another woman he can love,, he is rich handsome tall how many people drink ...so much bias comment,, he just release himself from toxic woman and he will get clean divorve marry more beautiful younger virgin woman
Everyone says she deserves the ending she got. It’s true. But I believe that her determination to win him back prevailed and I believe that anyone is redeemable. She has to hit rock bottom to open her eyes to herself. I believe his love for her lasted and she was able to surrender to him and to herself and stop resisting the things that were good for her.
That is how evil works/lurks. It creeps up slowly and cleverly, until it works its way through. Once it's done that, it has planted itself and can grow... Like a weed. Now it can sprout all over and ruin the crop. Kind of what we have today. Look at the movies now. Look at the "celebs" now. A generation that calls good evil and evil good. No such thing as right or wrong. No morality. Little compassion. Greed. Selfishness. 😣 Evil hasn't won though. It will crumble just as it has throughout history. Just give it time. Sorry if I went overboard with my input. I was compelled. ✌️
An Alternative Ending to Gone with the Wind, written by Chat GPT: "In this alternative ending to "Gone with the Wind," Rhett Butler stands on the staircase, watching Scarlett O'Hara as she pleads with him not to leave. As she tearfully begs him to stay, Rhett's heart softens and he realizes that he does, in fact, give a damn. With a determined look in his eyes, Rhett takes Scarlett's hands in his and pulls her close. "I love you, Scarlett," he whispers, his voice filled with emotion. "I've always loved you, and I can't bear to be without you." Scarlett's eyes widen in disbelief as Rhett leans in and kisses her passionately. In that moment, they both realize that their love for each other is stronger than any obstacle they may face. Together, Rhett and Scarlett decide to rebuild their relationship and start anew. They work through their differences, communicate openly, and support each other through thick and thin. As they face the challenges of the post-Civil War South, they do so as a united front, stronger than ever before. And so, in this alternate ending, Rhett Butler decides that he does give a damn, and he and Scarlett O'Hara live happily ever after, proving that true love can conquer all."
Poor Scarlet I so understand her pain. 😢 You can not get him bk after all you picked Ashley and swear your undying love to Ashley. Only realizing you were in love with Brett the whole time ⏲ and should of never let him go. Poor Scarlet I feel your pain. Excellent movie 🎬 😎.
Here have my handkerchief, "All I know is that I love you!" "That is YOUR misfortune." And "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." The Chad levels of this character are over 9,000!
The first time I watched the ending it was sad to me and maybe it’s supposed to be, but watching it now much older it seems very hopeful because I truly believe Scarlet could win him back. She’s finally matured past her childhood and now he just needs to see it but later after some time has past.
The sweet words from Scarlett (I'm sorry and I love you), at this point, wouldn't sway him to stop leaving. He's been 'done' with the marriage for years before this scene. The death of Bonnie (then Melanie) pretty much put the last nail on that coffin..(sigh).
The most satisfying ending to a long movie suffering having to watch Scarlett behaving like a child for hours... ...when I saw this movie for the first time, Rhett's final line is EXACTLY how I felt about Scarlett's future. I just didn't give a damn. Served her right.
He gave her all his heart and his ability. Then when his heart was spent. She knew she loved him and said some day I win his heart again. But she just sat there and let him walk away. She just didn't want to be alone. Because she didn't give all her heart to him to prove she loved him. Because when you love you give it your all. It's very seldom returned in this life. In this story to me. He's alone in a cabin looking off in the distance still looking for peace from time and memory's left. And her still setting on those steps waiting for the door to open. That will never. She should of gotten off her butt and ran after that man. And loved him wright. Ego gets in the way.
I'm watching this movie right now. It is so heartbreaking on so many levels. And mostly because of Scarlett's character, or nature. She had the chance to run into Rhett's arms instead of Ashley's, and she should have.
The movie grossed $391 million worldwide in its initial release, which made it at the time the highest-grossing movie in the world (surpassing Snow White) until it was surpassed by Jaws in 1975. It's now the 317th highest-grossing movie in the world (it would be the 323rd if Return of the Jedi, The Exorcist, Beauty and the Beast, Grease, Toy Story 1 and it had never been re-released)
I wish someone would scan and digitize an IB Tech print of this film from any of the pre-1967 reissues, because I'd love to see it. I feel if you haven't seen Gone With the Wind in real dye transfer Technicolor, then you haven't seen it at all. Same goes for any other classic film made in IB.
I love how the end is one of those closings that can be interpreted differently depending on the viewer. Some could see it as Scarlet showing the hope and resilience that she had to hold onto in order to overcome every obstacle in her life. And others could also see it as he persistently holding onto a past that is gone and probably should be gone and will end her days wandering the ruins of a dead land waiting for a live that will never return just like her dad after her mom died. It can be one of the most beautiful endings and one of the most tragic at the same time
"My darling, you're such a child, you think by saying I'm sorry all the past can be corrected." That's the hammer blow.
This is perfect for all relationships: family, friends, love. You can't just say Sorry every time you mess up and not change anything about your behavior
💔
Sounds like the advice my wonderful mother would’ve given me. Being sorry for trying to make up for the past this and always work. Scarlet wanted something she would never have and that was true love. She was so self-centered she thought the entire world revolves around her and no one else. It’s a crying shame!
He married a kid

The coldest line was when she said she loves him and he said “that’s your misfortune” Cold Blooded!
Man was a savage before it came into existence.
He had simply enough.
It’s not like she didn’t earn it.
Quite frankly, that’s what Scarlet had coming! Nobody ever wants to hear that. We’re here in this life we have to live it.
She deserved it
Rhett I love you,,,, and that my dear is your misfortune.
Incredible line...

Rhett...the granddaddy of all cinematic heartbreakers
The best of the heartthrobs haha
Yes, very handsome
Heartbreaker? Poor man's had his heart trampled on for last decade.
She had it coming...
That’s funny. When my granddad knocked on my door this morning and told me it was “time to get up!” I played this clip from 1:57 on.
Everybody remembers "I don't give a damn." The line that always cracks me up is "here, have a handkerchief. Never, at any crisis in your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief."
"...and then when you were sick, and it was aaall my fault. I hoped against hope that you'd call, but you didn't..."
LOL
Boss
My favorite line as well
Have you noticed the music becomes cheery and light when Rhett stalks out? Then sinks when Scarlett is left alone again. That was her happiness walking out on her.
Interestingly enough it's the same music that appears in Rhett 's first appearance as well.
@@nikothenarwhal5672 yes, and that’s because the melody is Rhett’s theme. I think its cheeriness also represents Rhett’s moment of triumph as he walks out on her.
I personally took it as "Finally Rhett is free of this #$@#h!"
Gerald, Scarlett’s father, was right in the end. At the end of the day, land is the only thing that lasts. Scarlett may have lost Rhett, Bonnie, Melanie, and Ashley, but she still has Tara and Tara will always be there for her. The ending is as uplifting as it is tragic.
Small matter of the emancipation proclamation. Tara only existed on the trade in human beings. Like everything else in the South, it is a lost cause.
Exactly, but is land really going to cure her loneliness? She has land, but she is all alone. Totally bittersweet.

Tara is a piece of land. It means nothing without people. She's alone with her garden...
“After all, tomorrow is another day.”
What a perfect line to end the movie on. Because at the end of the day, the romance, the war, the drama, the heartbreaks, the poverty, the success, the tragedies were all secondary to the core theme of the movie: survival.
I also think at the end, Scarlett doesn’t truly love Rhett; she just thinks she does. I think the only thing she’s ever truly loved and will ever love was Tara, the land itself.
I have always felt exactly the same way about this. Scarlett only ever seems to want that which she cannot have. Once she has it, she's bored. In her despair, she remembers her father's words and it fills her heart with joy, realizing the only thing that truly keeps her happy is Tara.
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🤫🤫🤫🤫
Wrong,the only thing she loves is Scarlett.
@@bobbyokeefe4285right
Hands down the best breakup scene in all of cinema history.
1:26, "I want peace...I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life with charm and grace." Words that ring true ever more so today in this increasingly ugly world...
She loves Ashley as a tie to her childhood and the now-gone way of life. Ashley lusts for her, but actually loves Melanie. She could never see this till the end and it was too late, Rhett was sick of it all and her. A harsh, but realistic ending. It's great that the movie didn't feel need for a happy ending. She made her bed and now has to lie in it...alone.
+Terry Cassidy Actually, I would argue it IS a happy ending. It was only when Scarlett had lost everything that she realized that what she had really wanted all along was to go home to Tara.
I think the ending was happy. Everyone had a purpose that would make them a better person... potentially. Thats happy to me.
It was for me a very satisfying closing. It's certainly not an ending, Scarlett is still a very young woman, in her twenties. Just a terrific, ever, evolving saga.
Bull's-eye of an explanation
So sad! It turns out she's loved Rhett all these years but now has lost his love.
Man, such a good movie, it's one of those movies you got to see at lease once in your life.
Exactly, it is. I just got through watching it all the way through for the first time. But I still wish I could see a digitized IB Tech print of it some day.
I've watched it more than 100 times. No joke. And yes the land is the only thing that matters, not BLM!
@@carlopelo9738 the Bureau of Land Management? :)
I've watched it about 5 times and I love it still. Probably the greatest of all time.
classic...like Peanuts (Charlie Brown/Snoopy)
"I want peace. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace. You know what I'm talking about?" My absolute favorite movie quote.
Her reply-"No! I only know that I love you."
Rhett’s reply: “That’s your misfortune.”
I never knew you have to chase both...
I think had she actually understood what he meant, he would have hesitated and stay abit longer.
Throughout the movie Scarllet and Rhett misunderstand eachother even thou they are somewhat similar.
It seems by the look on Rhett’s face in that moment that he was giving her 1 last chance
When I was a girl I loved this movie and I would watch it over and over. I thought it was so romantic. Now that I have watched it again as an adult I see how foolish it all was. Here Scarlett was chasing after a man that didn't care a whit for her when all the time Rhett (a real man) was there for her, sacrificing for her, taking care of her and she treated him like dirt. Ridiculous and sad. I wonder how many people still do that today in real life. Don't get me wrong I still like certain aspects of the film, but she lost him because of her foolishness.
I totally agree with you, but sadly in reality there are cases like this in relationships till today and that's what it tops it in this film. Certain people are too blind to see who really loves them and they always want that someone out of their reach. It's tough love in the real world so that's one of the reasons why this film has won so many awards, it is simply the reality that not all relationships end with a fairytale happy ending.
Women always ignore the nice guys and go after bad boys
@@bluestar2802 You truly sound like a classic reddit user lol
Blue Star The flamboyant ones in the closet that are so insecure in themselves they blame them for their own shit when it’s really between them. They can do no wrong.
I disagree. Rhett did the same thing Scarlett did to Ashley - making "a moon over nothing" and the fact he left at the end proves he never really loved her to begin with.
Rhett always said he was not a gentleman. But in the end he really was a gentleman. There’s something to be said about that!
He was a better gentleman than any of the "real" ones in the film. He had greater class, wisdom, and respect than those arrogant fools.
@@nikothenarwhal5672 bingo!
Well one is usually they're own worst critic God knows i am nobody can punish me the way i can 😁

The way she said no i only know that i love you was the most sincere moment of her entire life the words she said hed never hear from her she was wrong but when she finally said it it didn't mean anything to him anymore how true this moment mirrors.life how true going home again can uplift you when you are a part of the land you so love and feel it pulling you home a secret security lives within.that whenever you search for greener grass and realize it doesn't exist you can allways go home again the.floors walls.are sacred with the innocence of the past the eyes from you once saw the world in all its splendor and glory memories that you cab wrap around you to bring a smile back and keep.you warm when the world gets cold and dark
The real sadness here is pride and timing. We’ve all been on both sides of it.
I hated this movie because I thought it was a sappy tragic romance. Now I hate this movie because it makes too much sense for me this ending. This truly is one of the greatest movies ever made.
I finally watched this movie for the first time this week. My wife, who's seen it multiple times (and has read the book) watched it with me. I was glad. This scene is an incredible ending, and its emotional impact only comes after viewing the epic story that precedes it. Rhett's final line has new meaning for me!
Read the final chapter of the book. This scene pales by comparison.
You've chosen the right woman.
SUS
The original "Bye Felicia"
Imagine living with such a person as Scarlett in real life. And although I admire the character's strength and spirit - she just wouldn't hear anyone but herself. It's her who kept 'not giving a damn' about people who loved her, all the time. There was (and is, in fact) nothing in her life but 'I want'. As to Rett, I assume he doesn't hate her, there's no anger in him, he's just tired and empty, like a cold fireplace. She ruined it herself. And, much as I would like a happy ending here, I don't believe in it in real life. Not because Rett will not want it. But she hasn't changed.
I agree with you. At this point, he is cold and empty. The fire has gone out for years. The death of Bonnie (then Melanie) pretty much put the nail in the coffin. I find it very interesting, the moment Melanie who's the 'moral' center character died, Rhett didn't even wait to leave town.
You obviously didn't pay attention the whole scene she said about Ashley ive loved something that dosen't Matter it isn't real and somehow i dont care somehow it.dosent Matter she ran looking for rhett but he was done she was too late
Also remember when she tells rhett about the recycled nightmare she cold and she can't find what shes looking for he asled what she replied and said i don't know it seems to be hidden in the mist when she ran back home through the mist it was het dream nightmare come true and she deep dowm did love him when she was sick it was rhett she called out for not ashley
I doubt that Scarlett ever reunited with Rhett. He was too exhausted from his life with her that he needed to start over.
SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED
Its not just this scene that makes me emotional alone, it’s also the prelude to all the young innocent men who’ve watched this film that would lose their lives shortly after in World War II.
Including Leslie Howard who played Ashley Wilkes. His plane was shot down by the German Luftwaffe in 1943, just 4 years after Gone With the Wind.
@@terribhatt8917 Leslie o foi o primeiro a morrer e Olívia a última, que ironia 😅
@@terribhatt8917 Not as simple as that. Why wasn't Clark shot down?
Leslie was politically involved so his plane was shot down on orders. He was 2 honest and was taken care off.
This film was being produced and it was made when the Nazis were sending people to concentration camps 😱
What beautiful poetic lines Gable delivers before he leaves..." Id like to think that Bonnie was you...a little girl again....when she left she took everything"
Sometimes, you just have to cut the parasite off.
Whatever. Her child died and he gave her no slack. His too, yes -- the true love of his life in a sense. But he acts as if he is so perfect and honestly, he's not. He says she has to grow up, but he had to do some growing too. However, I think she needed to let go of all of her childish fantasies once and for all to finally get it for herself. And therefore, he had to leave. There was no way she'd grow up if she got her way even with Rhett.
Knowing when to sever ties with a cancer of your life doesn't indicate perfection, just logic.
Alli Campbell Did you ever read the book or just see the film? If you did you could never say he thought he was too honest andn perfect. He states quite clearly that he was hard and unscrupulous.
She is an emotional parasite, an absolute narcissist. And those never grow out of that. The best course of action is to run far, faraway
Like so many people do. They dont realize what a wonderful thing they have until they lose it and it is gone. She lost two wonderful things. Rett and Melanie's love and devotion to her.
I love the two camps that form with fans of this movie. People either say "Scarlet always succeeds, she'll find a way to get him back." or they say "He is DONE, done with that crap." I'm in the latter camp.
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
I think she'll get him back, she's determined like that. But I think Rhett deserves better... a kinder, much less mercenary woman.
Same with the latter camp.
@@teenelf She does get him back for good in the sequel, though she had to do a lot of growing up in order for that to happen.
@@jocelynthom2904 But the sequel wasn't written by the original author....
Notice how the music inflects with the rise of emotions as they talk. Genius.
I love her character so much. In this scene, we see the stuff Scarlett O'Hara is made of, and we thrive to see that she will never accept defeat, even when things look their worst.
So, is this one of those subtly happy endings?
@@PJVids83 Not so subtle, as Viktor Frankl stated, in a hopeless situation, one's attitude towards it can always be chosen.
@Rose Gold They actually do get back together for good in the sequel.
@@PJVids83 I'm sorry for the (very) late reply, but I don't see it as a subtle happy ending, but as Pat Rick pointed out, it's all about the attitude one has during hard times.
She never could win Ashley in the first place; she only realizes that, at the end of the film and let him go. So there`s no evidence in that ending, that she would get Rhett back. The only thing we know is that she`s gonna try... but knowing Rhett`s big ego, he would eventually treat her like a piece of s..it. So their relationship are doomed.
I think that's what makes this story so endearing. You can interpret the characters any way you like and neither way is wrong.
"I'll think about it tomorrow" my new motto...lol
Vivian Leigh deserved her Oscar. No actor will ever top her performance as Scarlett - or Blanche DuBois, for that matter. She was amazing in Ship of Fools too. Her last film (1967). She and Lee Marvin steel that film. She led such a tortured life due to mental illness, but poured her all into her craft. She WAS Scarlett and Blanche and playing both women took their toll on her.
And to think some fascist idiots wanted to cancel this masterpiece.
Have you seen her exquisite performance in "Waterloo Bridge?" (1940)
Movie is awesome and Scarlett came down those steps like a boss!
"before the war, and poverty had done things to her." This line is the scope in which one needs to examine Scarlett's character.
I agree. i think she was only 19 when she came back to Tara---very young to have all that responsiblity put on her shoulders. I think she had PTSD for the 2 nd half of the movie.
Watching this with my family, we laughed and clapped over the happy music playing when Rhett left.
Bruh.... This speech is every bit true today as it was then. And then the walk off..... LEGENDARY
She felt vaguely comforted, strengthened by the picture, and some of her hurt and frantic regret was pushed from the top of her mind. She stood for a moment remembering small things, the avenue of dark cedars leading to Tara, the banks of cape jessamine bushes, vivid green against the white walls, the fluttering white curtains. And Mammy would be there. Suddenly she wanted Mammy desperately, as she had wanted her when she was a little girl, wanted the broad bosom on which to lay her head, the gnarled black hand on her hair. Mammy, the last link with the old days.
With the spirit of her people who would not know defeat, even when it stared them in the face, she raised her chin. She could get Rhett back. She knew she could. There had never been a man she couldn’t get, once she set her mind upon him.
“I’ll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”
Is this from the book?
@@dianamarcekova9615 yeah
So she probley did get Rhett back
I love this movie and book, but it always makes me cry no matter what.
"Where shall I go? What shall I do?"

This movie had the best and most uplifting last line in the history of cinema. “...after all, tomorrow is another day!”
You know... as much as it broke my hear to say... I am happy how now a end of a relationship is something common. Even if it break your heart, you can go on and you know you will live... you may find another love... back than marriage was not that simple... In her case he was everything she still had. That is so strong, so cruel, so... is not his fault of course. But... she is really strong. Really strong
1:26. Standing ovation. Truly. I love that line. Despairingly hopeful.
1st improvisation in history of movies
Who is this legend?!
“I love you!”
“That’s your misfortune”
Hahaha greatest thing I’ve ever heard
True classic movie of 1939, Clark Gable was great as Rhett Butler with that famous quote "Franky My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn!" But Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara was the main star of this classic and of course I love that line "Tomorrow Is Another Day!"😅 Thank you!
So old and so Hollywood yet so relatable that’s why it such a classic
Well, that ending scene and that music .....and this whole movie .... this cast.... all in all, a tremendous proof that humankind managed to achieve unbelievable things 💎
1861, 1939, 2021. Tale as old as time, don't know what you've got till it's gone.
Coolest walk off ever
So, that's how this movie ends, huh? It actually ends with Clarke Gable uttering that infamous line and leaving Scarlett to weep and wail on her own. Wow. Part of me always thought this was the intermission scene.... guess not.
Nope it was the real END and for the way that horrible woman treated him she’s lucky it didn’t come sooner !
You should watch the whole thing.
Yup, that's it!
I 100% understood why Rhett left her, but I also wish they had ended up together in the end💔 It was also heartbreaking that Bonnie died😢
I cannot tell you how loudly I cheered when he finally left her.
She doesn’t deserve him after all of her bullshit.
That's definitely the initial reaction from most guys. But after you see it again, trust me, you'll grow to understand and empathize with Scarlett
Not a guy, pal.
@@LukeLovesRose I think to a certain extent you can empathize with both Scarlett and Rhett despite their flaws. Scarlett is a persistent leader that never gives up even in the worse of times but is also incredibly manipulative, selfish, and opportunistic. Rhett lacks qualities of being a gentleman, played games instead of finding true love, and even went as far as to s*xu*lly a*sault Scarlett in one scene. Despite this, he does everything for Scarlett and tries to make the best out of his marriage by being a good husband and father. That's also why I think Scarlett and Rhett had such good chemistry, they were absolute messes that stumbled upon each other and almost made it work out (if it weren't for Scarlett's selfishness and Bonnie's eventual death). That's the great thing about these characters, they're more than just one archetype. They have layers to them which allows people to have different perspectives on them. For example, there are some people who despise Scarlett and those that thing she's a strong heroine.
I think both Scarlett and Rhett were at fault and simply brought out the worst in each other. Rhett knew Scarlett was in love with Ashley and he knew Scarlett didn’t love him. She never bothered to lie to him about it. Yet Rhett pursued her in the hopes of changing her mind. Being honest you cannot change a person. They would have to be the ones to change for themselves. Most people won’t change unless they hit rock bottom, this clip being an example.
Rhett was never honest with her. For example saying he wasn’t a marrying man and pretending he didn’t marry her for love. He had a point that Scarlett does hurt the people who love her, I’m probably paraphrasing, but again being honest without trust there can be no love. Being with someone that can only bring out the worst in you isn’t healthy.
The most successful and profitable film of all time (when adjusted for inflation).
Its final line tells you everything you need to know about what makes film magic, why films mean so much to us and why this particular film is/was so loved.
“After all.. Tomorrow… is another day…”
It’s about hope, hope in the most hopeless and tragic of circumstances, hope even when the story you’re in is ending as a tragedy. Even if everything is lost, it’s that strength to find that tiny light of hope in the darkness even if it isn’t there and to look up and out for it and to say that you’ll find it, even if you can’t and won’t ever see it. The film all leads up to and concludes on this line and it’s completely emblematic of why films capture our hearts and minds… and this film captured it the most perfectly.
The most profitable film of all time ending on those words… “Tomorrow is another day” and that final epic piece of music is just cinematic perfection.
Good movie. He gave all of himself for years. And she didn't even care until it was to late. He loved her. But she didn't love him. Until his heart was spent. Waiting for it to be returned . Strength. The last line has always been with me. I know what it means. Finally.
3:38 her delivery of 'Home' is spectacular, I watched it 8 times over
Same here! That part was worth the whole movie.!
This is such a good ending to this film it's a real classic I have to keep watching it.

@@steveadams7940 She really didn’t, she loved that other guy. That she had a huge crush on, was his name Stuart? She loved him, and Rhett knew that so he left. He only stayed for his daughter. So when his daughter died, he had no reason to stay.

Lol mammy asked her and Scarlett changed her mind and and said “what’s the use”.
That's the tragic part. Still... she embraced freaking Ashley after seeing Melanie for the last time, totally ignoring Rhett... as if his (her husband) feelings dont matter. This woman showed no affection or even kindness toward Rhett. Unfortunately she realized it far too late
Both Scarlett and Rhett, victims of Freindzoned.

Moral of the story: move on, move up, let go of the past (your ex, heartbreak, illusions, etc) and appreciate who you have TODAY because tomorrow is so uncertain and everything good right now...can walk away.

Outstanding performance by Vivien Leigh. Truly on of the best performances in cinema.
Rhett Butler is honestly one of my favorite fictional characters ever. Literally the embodiment of what proper masculinity should look like. He's honest, candid, witty, consistently willing to spit straight facts, even when no one else wants to hear it, and he's able to go after a girl he's interested in without being an absolute simp. He gives Scarlett every opportunity to be happy with him, he provides for her every need and desire, he gives her the same life of luxury she grew up with, and when it becomes clear that she still won't reciprocate his feelings, he does the most Chad thing he could and more or less walks away in the most hilariously non-chalant and indifferent way possible. No tears, no crying, no "oh I don't wanna do this". Literally just "I tried, didn't work out, I'm out bitch"

Yeah Will Smith could use a page from his book...
I just saw "Gone With the Wind" on my 4-Disc Collector's Edition DVD (Not the 70th Anniversary release, but the one before it.)
Interesting how this film ends. As somebody said, it really divides viewers into two camps: Those for are relieved for Rhett, and those who are heartbroken for Scarlett. The interesting thing though is, I'm a guy, but I'm actually in Scarlett's viewer camp. Even if I never know the outcome, I have no doubt that Scarlett will eventually win Rhett back... if she wants him desperately, and persistently enough, she'll find a way. I actually admire Scarlett's determination, and I'm actually a lot like her.
What Rhett doesn't understand is that there ARE people in this world that take a VERY long time to come around to their senses, and just because the person that was wronged gives up on them all of a sudden doesn't mean that the offender hasn't seen the error of their ways. Only Scarlett can determine that.
I recently poured through the book at a library, and was mildly curious to see what it had to say, and I was touched by how it described Scarlett's mind finally coming full circle. It's clear that Scarlett finally learned to fully and genuinely love Rhett - and it's Rhett's fault that he doesn't believe her.
The way I see it, if Scarlett believes to her very core that she needs Rhett's forgiveness, have at it. I notice that Rhett leaves THINKING he has the final word, but Scarlett's tearful declaration: "Tomorrow is another day" shows that Scarlett actually has the final word. Well made...
+Christopher Russell Well said. GTTW is one of my favourite films of all time and it's not just because I love the book but also because of how cleverly the film makers transferred the book into film. Your psycho analysis of GTTW surprised me as I never thought of the concept of a Rhett viewer camp and Scarlett viewer camp. I'm more of a Rhett viewer fan though I could understand where Scarlett was coming from and I also admired her determination.
+Christopher Russell We never find out if she wins Rhett back, but it doesn't really matter. She realized that Tara was what she really wanted, and she got it.
I felt them both the relief and the heartbreak.
I really love her too but I also don't think she gets him back. He said it himself, the loss of a child has a big effect on the emotions and relationships. He had transfered all his love to Bonnie and after her death just didn't really care about Scarlett anymore.
I am on Scarlet's side. I am desperately sorry for her.
And there you go, a masterpiece of scene in every sense
Titanic, Gone Wind The Wind and Casablanca (despite all of its WW2 propaganda) are the greatest, most romantic and devastating love stories committed to film. They also feature 3 of the greatest, most emotional endings in film history.

Best movie/book ever!!!
My wife is recently gone through a situation somewhat similar to this. Rent was 100% spot on! It appears we’ve been across purposes!
Would people give a damn to see Rhett and Scarlett somehow getting back together? I am sure at least many would!
Of course it is impossible to remake a film that was and is 100 percent absolute perfection and there is no way the 4 main characters could be played by anyone else. Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Vivien Leigh and Olivia de Havilland, who died only 2 years ago at 104, will always have a very special place in cinema history for Gone With the Wind alone.
When this film came out in 1939 the now famous line was shocking to hear back then. And in fact, the people behind the film had to consider alternative lines in case they weren’t allowed to use the line that was used in the original book (which is the same with the exception of the word “frankly”). One of which was: “Frankly my dear I don’t give a hoot.” Now, I love Clark Gable and he’s one of my all time favorite actors, but even back then, I think he would have been laughed at if he said that.
Also, when they were finally given the okay to use the line, they had to pay $1,000 just to get that 1 word in. Which would be the equivalent of $18,382.46 in today’s money.
Also, I almost put this film at #1 on my list of “Top 10 Best Films Of All Time” but I put it at #2 and instead put Rear Window (1954) as my #1 favorite film of all time.
Nine years before GWTW, the BBC's first television play, 'The Man with the Flower in His Mouth', had used 'damn' and nobody, er, gave a damn.
It also used 'cancer', which in Hollywood was such a taboo even in 1960 that 'Ocean's 11' could only call it 'the big casino'.
The Hays Office stipulated that Gable should half-swallow the d-word by emphasizing 'give'.
They don’t make movies as deep and meaningful as they used to, Cinematic perfection.
I have such mixed feelings about the question “do they or don’t they get back together?”... this film ends on such a brilliantly hopeful note and this version of Rhett and Scarlett still have a certain energy and vitality to them that makes you feel like anything is still possible, especially with those voiceovers and the amazing music! But in the book... I know that Margaret Mitchell left it completely up to the personal opinion of her readers and *technically/canonically* (as far as books authorized by MM’s estate go) they DO get back together... but personally I don’t think there was any way they could. The whole final chapter is just an out-of-shape, old, exhausted Rhett explaining just how much he loved her and just how little he cares now... and he doesn’t just walk out on her, he even says he’ll come home often enough to keep down the gossip (which is somehow worse in my mind than just walking out... it’s like he’s so sure that he’ll never love her again that he’s entirely capable of coming back to her several times a year just for appearance’s sake and nothing more), and the line “my dear, I don’t give a damn” is much less snappy in the book, it’s just depressing. And though the hopeful lines at the end are the same in the book as they are in the film they just don’t seem nearly as possible in the book. They seem like Scarlett being overly self-confident in her abilities to win him back. I think the most realistic ending is that Scarlett has learned her lesson and does grow as a person and takes care of hers and Melanie’s children and the other people that depend on her, and she likely thinks of ways to win Rhett back but based on his heavy drinking... I’d wager he dies of acute liver failure or some other health problem just a few years after the novel ends. Now *maybe* they have some kind of deathbed reconciliation but whether or not they do isn’t really important. The important thing is that Scarlett grows and learns to love and appreciate the people she still has (especially her children) and that Rhett gets a little bit of peace before the end
Indeed. I think after this, she resolved to live the way Melanie lived - keeping a loving eye out for others rather than herself - to honor her memory. It probably took her a while to change her ways, but I think she has sufficient perseverance and devotion to Melanie to eventually succeed. The book describes, much more vividly than the film’s depiction, how much she really loved Melanie and how heartsick and horror-stricken she is that she never appreciated Melanie while she had her.
Just as I see and feel it. Perfectly expressed.
scarlet die first before rheet because she is frail woman rheet will have another woman he can love,, he is rich handsome tall how many people drink ...so much bias comment,, he just release himself from toxic woman and he will get clean divorve marry more beautiful younger virgin woman
Alright, the music is what makes me wanna bawl. However, Rhett was amazing and Scarlett was... well, tomorrow is indeed another day.
Everyone says she deserves the ending she got. It’s true. But I believe that her determination to win him back prevailed and I believe that anyone is redeemable. She has to hit rock bottom to open her eyes to herself. I believe his love for her lasted and she was able to surrender to him and to herself and stop resisting the things that were good for her.
"Frankly, my dead, I don't give a damn."
Oh lordie! Such obscene language! *faints*

That is how evil works/lurks. It creeps up slowly and cleverly, until it works its way through. Once it's done that, it has planted itself and can grow... Like a weed. Now it can sprout all over and ruin the crop. Kind of what we have today. Look at the movies now. Look at the "celebs" now. A generation that calls good evil and evil good. No such thing as right or wrong. No morality. Little compassion. Greed. Selfishness. 😣 Evil hasn't won though. It will crumble just as it has throughout history. Just give it time. Sorry if I went overboard with my input. I was compelled. ✌️
Besa65 Give it a rest.
John D. O'Brien "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" ... or give it a rest
Actually, at the time (1948) it was groundbreaking -- it was the first time a blockbuster film used even a mild expletive.
Greatest movie ever made.
An Alternative Ending to Gone with the Wind, written by Chat GPT:
"In this alternative ending to "Gone with the Wind," Rhett Butler stands on the staircase, watching Scarlett O'Hara as she pleads with him not to leave. As she tearfully begs him to stay, Rhett's heart softens and he realizes that he does, in fact, give a damn.
With a determined look in his eyes, Rhett takes Scarlett's hands in his and pulls her close. "I love you, Scarlett," he whispers, his voice filled with emotion. "I've always loved you, and I can't bear to be without you."
Scarlett's eyes widen in disbelief as Rhett leans in and kisses her passionately. In that moment, they both realize that their love for each other is stronger than any obstacle they may face.
Together, Rhett and Scarlett decide to rebuild their relationship and start anew. They work through their differences, communicate openly, and support each other through thick and thin. As they face the challenges of the post-Civil War South, they do so as a united front, stronger than ever before.
And so, in this alternate ending, Rhett Butler decides that he does give a damn, and he and Scarlett O'Hara live happily ever after, proving that true love can conquer all."
I love this part.
Poor Scarlet I so understand her pain. 😢 You can not get him bk after all you picked Ashley and swear your undying love to Ashley. Only realizing you were in love with Brett the whole time ⏲ and should of never let him go. Poor Scarlet I feel your pain. Excellent movie 🎬 😎.
A True Gentleman.
Here have my handkerchief,
"All I know is that I love you!"
"That is YOUR misfortune."
And "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
The Chad levels of this character are over 9,000!
Also one of the most POSITIVE Movie endings in the History of movies ever! "After all tomorrow IS another day" wow!!!
The first time I watched the ending it was sad to me and maybe it’s supposed to be, but watching it now much older it seems very hopeful because I truly believe Scarlet could win him back. She’s finally matured past her childhood and now he just needs to see it but later after some time has past.
I'd like to think that too. And the horrible sequel, Scarlett isnt canon
In my opinion the most handsome men to ever grace the cinema screen were Clark Cable, Sean Connery, Brad Pitt, Mel Gibson and George Clooney.
You have a type! Suave guys!
The sweet words from Scarlett (I'm sorry and I love you), at this point, wouldn't sway him to stop leaving. He's been 'done' with the marriage for years before this scene. The death of Bonnie (then Melanie) pretty much put the last nail on that coffin..(sigh).
The most satisfying ending to a long movie suffering having to watch Scarlett behaving like a child for hours...
...when I saw this movie for the first time, Rhett's final line is EXACTLY how I felt about Scarlett's future. I just didn't give a damn. Served her right.
Good lord this was a long but enjoyable movie.
He gave her all his heart and his ability. Then when his heart was spent. She knew she loved him and said some day I win his heart again. But she just sat there and let him walk away. She just didn't want to be alone. Because she didn't give all her heart to him to prove she loved him. Because when you love you give it your all. It's very seldom returned in this life. In this story to me. He's alone in a cabin looking off in the distance still looking for peace from time and memory's left. And her still setting on those steps waiting for the door to open. That will never. She should of gotten off her butt and ran after that man. And loved him wright. Ego gets in the way.
There was no use doing that. Rhett wanted go and she could not stop him. And she knew that.
Sometimes sorry can't fix problems
Happy Mother's day mom. Never ever forgotten X❤
I'm watching this movie right now. It is so heartbreaking on so many levels. And mostly because of Scarlett's character, or nature. She had the chance to run into Rhett's arms instead of Ashley's, and she should have.
The movie grossed $391 million worldwide in its initial release, which made it at the time the highest-grossing movie in the world (surpassing Snow White) until it was surpassed by Jaws in 1975. It's now the 317th highest-grossing movie in the world (it would be the 323rd if Return of the Jedi, The Exorcist, Beauty and the Beast, Grease, Toy Story 1 and it had never been re-released)
I just finished this book tonight and I'm so shaken!
I wish someone would scan and digitize an IB Tech print of this film from any of the pre-1967 reissues, because I'd love to see it. I feel if you haven't seen Gone With the Wind in real dye transfer Technicolor, then you haven't seen it at all. Same goes for any other classic film made in IB.
I love how the end is one of those closings that can be interpreted differently depending on the viewer. Some could see it as Scarlet showing the hope and resilience that she had to hold onto in order to overcome every obstacle in her life. And others could also see it as he persistently holding onto a past that is gone and probably should be gone and will end her days wandering the ruins of a dead land waiting for a live that will never return just like her dad after her mom died. It can be one of the most beautiful endings and one of the most tragic at the same time
