Oh my gosh, I was not expecting such a spectacularly long comment!! Aaah this is awesome! xD I am also excited to find someone else who is enthralled with Gone With the Wind who is not my mother, haha! Well, my friends don't mind it, but at the same time none of them were willing to go with me to see it in the theatre, so yeah.
hahaha, I forgot that Rhett's also an alcoholic! xD The movie certainly doesn't include that half as much as the book does. (I also noticed that the movie never tells us why he's in jail, which I actually find kind of amusing just because I'm sure there are some people who watch the movie all "Wait - why is Rhett suddenly in jail??")
YAY someone else who wouldn't be opposed to a remake!! :D I agree 100% with your paragraph about it. I agree, the casting would have to be spot-on BRILLIANT. One of the reasons I fear a remake will never happen (or at least that it won't happen while I'm around to see it :( ) is exactly because the actors in those roles are so engraved in everyone's memories. But hopefully fans of GWtW would be all right with a remake that was different, so long as it was also really good ... ? I have no idea, I've spent about ten minutes total in the actual fandom haha.
I think it's really cool theaters around you go around showing it from time to time.
This is the first time I'd heard of it being shown near me. This theatre is actually a really mainstream theatre that pretty much only shows the most popular of Hollywood blockbusters, so I was super surprised to find out they'd be showing a classic! I think they only did it to promote the Blu-ray version of the movie that was just released. Boo. :( I only wish I had a theatre near me that regularly played older movies, I would go to them all!!
Thank you for leaving such an awesome comment! :D It definitely made my night.
