Favorite Scene?


Mine is the Atlanta Bazaar. Just love the look on Scarlett's face, when she sees Rhett. And his devilish look when he sees her. Love it! Priceless.
Also like how she is "mourning" and dancing. And the dance auction scene is awesome too!!
What is everyone else's favorite scenes?

I can't really say I have a "favorite" scene.
I love the entire movie.

Gerald O'Hara: "Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing worth workin' worth fightin' for, worth dying for, because its the only thing that lasts."

Gerald and Scarlett at the beginning is my favorite scene for sure.

reply

Mine too!

But I am also always drawn to the scene in which Scarlett has to keep her promise to Ashley.

I have posted it in German for those who want to see how the voices are interpreted in another language:

It should never be allowed to be shown in German again. :o
Elfie Beyer does a very good job, but, completely misinterprets the oath before the intermission. Maybe because she was another generation, certainly she had no insight where Leigh might have been going there within herself, but why did she not just copy the frailty in the voice? Also, the translation there just isn't correct (yet, is astoundingly well for the entire movie), and because we only see a silhouette, lip synchronicity certainly was not the reason. As GWTW premiered in Germany in 1952 (to major success too, btw.), that scene could have been understood even more differently than it probably was anyway. Does seem, like some powers did think it might be too much in 1952. But because of that, you are never able to really understand Scarlett, as also her lines, "Yes, I, I still have this", and "Mellie, do try", are total failures - maybe for the same reason.

Oh the Oath, that's my favoutite scene btw.! Finale Grandioso in every way, just blow after blow after blow after blow, ending with defeat on every level, and only two options left to choose from.

Ohh, this is so hard. I might have to go with the proposal scene though. I look forward to it everytime I watch the movie :D

reply

Love the proposal scene too!!

reply

I love the dialogue during the whole thing!

"Frankly, my dear, idgaf."

When I was very young and would have little bratty meltdowns, my mom would always say, "I think you're on the verge of a crying jag."
It used to make me so mad and I didn't know why. Lol
Now as a GWTW fan, I get it and it makes me laugh, thinking back on it.

reply

Aha that's great! I remember in high school we had a vocab test and 'jag' was one of our words. So pretty easy for me to remember ;p

"Frankly, my dear, idgaf."

reply

Mine is when she is sitting drinking brandy after her second husband dies and she knows Rhett came to see her so she gargles the cologne and puts it behind her ears and pats her hair and dress. https://youtu.be/KHbgttQdXv8

The scene at the train depot, with all of the wounded soldiers stretched out on the ground. It shows the awful devastation of war.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I don't have a favorite scene. There are a lot of good scenes in the movie. The movie was well made. It is one of my favorite movies.

Agreed. It shows so dramatically the sheer waste of that horrible war.

reply

Agree. I was in 7th grade when I first saw GWTW in a theater with a school group. The way the camera gradually reveals how many, many casualties--seeming acres of them--are lying there dead or suffering in the hot sun made my heart catch in my throat. This is what all those idealistic young soldiers came to. Much later I saw All Quiet on the Western Front (1928 version) and felt the same distress and sorrow.

reply

"Favorite" to describe this scene seems ghoulish, but the scene I have to stop and watch is the scene when the casualty lists from Gettysburg are being handed out to the fearful masses assembled there waiting. The most poignant part is when the band leader's wife slowly approaches him crying. With no words being spoken he knows his son is dead and they look at each other for a few moments before he turns towards the band and strikes up a cheerful rendition of Dixie's Land.


Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum. Is very bad.
