Gone With the Wind
1) Relate what was discussed in class or the text to the screening.
Overall "Gone With the Wind" is labeled one of the greatest movies of all time. The movie was based on the book written by Margret Michelle and was published in 1936. The book was a great American novel and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. When the movie came out in 1939 it was an instant classic and went on to win the 8 of the 13 academy awards it was nominated for.

2) Find a related article and summarize the content. (on the film, director, studio, actor/actress, artistic content, etc.) You can use the library or the internet. Cite the article or copy the url to your journal entry. Summarize in your own words the related article but do not plagiarize any content.

Gone with the Wind is an America Epic, not only in novel form but in film form as well. The movies is based on a spoiled Southern Belle named Scarlett who is looking for love in all the wrong places during the American Civil in Part 1 and the Reconstruction of the South in Part 2. To this day Gone With the Wind holds the record for most theater tickets sold and rightfully so considering the film had an amazingly famous cast as well as a massive budget.

3) Apply the article to the film screened in class. How did the article support or change the way you thought about the film, director, content, etc.?
Overall the article supported everything that we went over in class just in a little more depth. Laurie Boeders summation of the film was clear and concise considering how long the film was. It also gave a great overview of the director, cast and all the other people involved with the film.

4) Write a critical analysis of the film, including your personal opinion, formed as a result of the screening, class discussions, text material and
the article. I am less interested in whether you liked or disliked a
film, (although that can be part of this) than I am in your
understanding of its place in film history or the contributions of the
director.
Gone with the Wind is considered one of the greatest films of all time and has topped charts since it came out in 1939. To this day it still has the record for most theater tickets sold and sits at number four on AMC's greatest movies of all time. For me the film was okay, the story was good as well as the cinimatography(other then the death scene's). The only problem I had with the film was how incredibly long it was. The film ran for three hours and forty five minutes.. Other than the length the film was amazing, from the cover you always knew Scarlett would end up with Rhett but the film kept you guessing and wondering the whole way through.
