CLIP DESCRIPTION:
On his way to join the Confederate Army, Rhett (Clark Gable) professes his love for Scarlett (Vivien Leigh), but she rejects him harshly.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Gone With the Wind boils down to a story about a spoiled Southern girl's hopeless love for a married man. Producer David O. Selznick managed to expand this concept, and Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel, into nearly four hours' worth of screen time, on a then-astronomical 3.7-million-dollar budget, creating what would become one of the most beloved movies of all time. Gone With the Wind opens in April of 1861, at the palatial Southern estate of Tara, where Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) hears that her casual beau Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) plans to marry "mealy mouthed" Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland). Despite warnings from her father (Thomas Mitchell) and her faithful servant Mammy (Hattie McDaniel), Scarlett intends to throw herself at Ashley at an upcoming barbecue at Twelve Oaks. Alone with Ashley, she goes into a fit of histrionics, all of which is witnessed by roguish Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), the black sheep of a wealthy Charleston family, who is instantly fascinated by the feisty, thoroughly self-centered Scarlett: "We're bad lots, both of us." The movie's famous action continues from the burning of Atlanta (actually the destruction of a huge wall left over from King Kong) through the now-classic closing line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Holding its own against stiff competition (many consider 1939 to be the greatest year of the classical Hollywood studios), Gone With the Wind won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress (Vivien Leigh), and Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Oscar). The film grossed nearly 192 million dollars, assuring that, just as he predicted, Selznick's epitaph would be "The Man Who Made Gone With the Wind."

I think it's admirable that Rhett gave one of his gun to Scarlett, so she can defends herself, when he is, himself, going into a war. I think it's an act of true love.

A part of me hated Rhett for leaving Scarlet, Melanie, and the baby behind. They were vulnerable and in need of protection, but his manly pride and regrets made him go fight in the war. At least Scarlett was a strong woman, and was able to look out for everyone. He deserved a punch in the face not a slap 😂

[@naheenisapoet69]

Ikr if it wasn't for Scarlett they would have died. Still it wasn't right to test her strengths at the point of breaking. If I was her, I would never look at Rhett again

[@tracys169]

I agree but in that moment, I can see a glimpse of Rhett's personality as well. He was secretly an idealist. Rhett put up a good facade and wall around himself, and reveled in a negative reputation, but he was a different man underneath it all. He decided at the end, to join a losing cause, knowing that more likely than not it'd end with him dead on the battlefield. It was nothing against Scarlett or not wanting to care for her, he puts himself and his idealism first at that moment. I think part of him believed, he wouldn't survive the battle. And one can argue, he was rather 'equal rights' at this point, he knew Scarlett was tough and strong enough to go on without him therefore he gave her his gun.

[@theshillneckedlizard8364]

Well, yes, but at the same time he knew what Scarlett was like and that if anyone was capable of getting them to Tara, it was her. In the book he says "You aren't helpless. Anyone as determined and selfish as you is never helpless. God help the Yankees if they should get you."

He understoid the human condition. I am so glad he loved Scarlett. Most see her as other than the womanly standard, but she was actually the bravest of all of them, her tenacity, strengrh and intelligence saved her home, her family and Melanie. She was this incrediable force and because she was a survivor she was disrepected by everyone but Rhett and Melanie. Scarlett was a hero.

Not sure if you meant that as a joke, but Clark Gable is incapable of breaking character. "I'm no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me. If I can’t believe what I’m doing, I can’t make others believe it. That’s not being an actor." He impersonated the amused, devilish expression of Rhett perfectly, and was one of those actors who almost always played essentially the same character.

There were a LOT of scenes like this that were better in the book. And yeah, I agree. It always bothered me too how visibly repulsed she is in this scene. It doesn't look like she wants him to kiss her at all... which takes away a lot of the romance for me, honestly.

[@KaterinaMKD1]

In the book this scene is so steamy and passionate like you can literally feel the musles on his thighs and how soft his lips are. It's their first actual kiss and Scarlett is swept off her feet actually (like every time they kiss which makes her question her feelings for Ashley). I guess the change of director Cucor and the censure of that time (no screen kiss was supposed to last longer than 3 secs) made this scene a bit rushed. Anyway I love the film but I worship the book. Mitchell had talent to show you and make you feel every scene; that's why Rhett and Scarlett are immortal.

[@LunazulBaraka]

She was just mad he left her there and didn't go with her to Tara, to her that was a sign h didn't love her.

[@tracys169]

Rhett already knew that Scarlett had always been in love with Ashley long before this. He, of course, thought he could 'change' her mind after they got married. He did spoil her, let her run the business, and they made a great couple and enjoyed each other. I think he started to 'lose hope' that she would end up loving him. I think partly because Scarlett was in deep denial and still held on to the idea of Ashley so she didn't show how much she actually loved Rhett. Part of me thought that Rhett might have an issue from his past that made him think that he didn't deserve to be loved so he held on to Scarlett (wanting her love) for so long. But when Bonnie came along, I think Rhett found some healing and felt love or felt being loved then he knew his 'worth' and to finally leave after Bonnie's then Melanie's death.

Note: At this point in the novel, Scarlett was 16 (maybe 17) years of age; Rhett was pushing 40. Because the book was so fresh in the American people's minds, 1939 audiences were fully aware of this fact and didn't seem to mind. Today, however, I believe it would be a totally different reaction and rightfully so. However, I believe it was quite common for men to marry much younger during this time in American history.

Anyone watching and reading in 2021? I just happened upon this as it’s one of my favorite books and movies. I must tell you that in the book Rhett shows up many more times and is more of a rascal as he declares his love for her many times in the book and also his indication of wanting to make love to her. He also helps her a lot too. He gives her money in the book and helps her when she is overcome with morning sickness when she’s pregnant with her second child. In the book she married three times and has two other children besides Bonnie. At one point, he tells her that sometimes he felt like he wanted to kill her second husband, Frank, because he was so in love with her and wanted her for himself.

[@theshillneckedlizard8364]

I'm watching and reading in 2021 (waves) Yeah, I notice the bit where Scarlett throws up in front of Rhett when she's pregnant with Ella didn't make it into the movie, lol. But it says a lot about Rhett's character that he doesn't even blink when Scarlett vomits, just holds her head for her, passes her a handkerchief and when she's overcome with embarrassment, he just shrugs and tells her he already knows she's pregnant. You have to remember that for a lady to throw up in public was about the most socially humiliating thing that could happen in the 1800's, and Rhett didn't care, he just took it in his stride. What a guy!

[@indhuskitchenandvlogs]

Rhett knew that scarlet was an immature girl who doesn't know the real meaning of marriage. Her first marriage is to avenge Ashley's disregard for her. Second marriage to Frank is to save Tara. She never married for love and fun. Rhett, when he proposes to Scarlett remarks that she had married a boy and an old man. Why not Marry a man the right age who has a way with women like himself . He loved Scarlett to the extent he tolerated all her crazy marriages and waited for her and was Kind to her children through former marriages.what a man!scarlett didn't knew his worth until Melanie dies leaving behind a devastated Ashley. Her illusion of Ashley is overcome only at that point when she is left alone and she runs in search of Rhett which was too late

[@ChocolateMocha-nm7wl]

I wish we could go back into time. When love was real. When we had real romance movies. Back in these times was always a Romeo and Juliet moment of love.

[@benjaminclasper9355]

And this film is a classic through in through.

[@markjd4]

Many have seen Rhett’s leaving as a selfish act, but I disagree. Seeing the realities of war crashing around him, I think Rhett realized that he was wrong to avoid real duty. Yes, he was a blockade runner, but purely “for profit.” Yes, he didn’t think the war was a good idea, but neither did Ashley. The difference between Rhett and Ashley is that the latter had too much honor to see things as clearly as Rhett did. In many regards, I’m sure that Rhett saw Ashley as a fool, and Scarlett too for loving him. In this scene, I think that changes. I think seeing the men in tatters, the war clearly lost, finally allows him to realize that their cause could not have been pure arrogance, as arrogance would not have justified these men in continuing to fight a losing battle. I do not think it was Meade’s oversight to avoid any sort of confrontation between Rhett and Ashley over Scarlett’s affections. While many lose respect for Ashley as the book/movie progresses, I think Rhett gained respect for him. He sees in his selfless defense of a losing cause the type of gallantry he finds lacking in himself.

I hate it that she slaps him, during one of the most romantic moments that any woman could ever have... 😢💞

[@justynawojcicka5056]

Clark Gable have infection after this infection they reamove almost all his teeth.He was fames in hollywood from bad breath so Vivien did not lile kiss him

[@liannapfister8255]

You really gotta read the book…he deserves more than a slap

[@izzyxd117]

there are pictures from behind the set,and there are many pictures of vivien and clark scenes like playing cards together.etc.I only heard that Clark had a bad breath,so she didn't like kissing much LOL.there were many rumors about that.ew probably there were some conflits which is a normal thing

[@Nadia..J]

Oh my goodness. What a man.

[@TheScotsman1977]

It can be a very dangerous move for a man to give a woman a gun.

Rhett Butler is the first Han Solo.

[@littleAngelofMusic1]

Gets me every time..... *swoon* ....That was a really loud slap....

[@amfthehedgehog1993]

it's a beautiful classic

[@eastsea7831]

Rhett, Clark Gable is so so so so charming.

[@user-zq8kw3jp4r]

until now, I still haven't had any idea about why Rhett had to leave for the battle!!! what motivated him to do that!

[@victorcarvalho9116]

They're so perfect and wrong for each other at the same time.

[@suciumaria1057]

Muzica imaginea actorii scenariu absolut perfect.

amor eterno por Rhett Butler

[@radioheadtv3131]

In this scene he looks like the dude from The Mummy maybe it’s the outfit and hair

[@vinnavuong20]

Don’t make a mistake and shoot the nag. 😆Love Rhett’s sense of humour. Ashley’s quiet demeanour is boring compared to Rhett’s personality.

[@izzyxd117]

I only heard that they had conflits,that vivien didn't like kissing him at all because he had a very bad breath or something (there were many rumors about that ,tough never was confirmed ? )and etc but they still were friends and respected very much each other..were are people getting this info that they couldn't stand each other ? lolwut

[@bobmag5058]

Toe nd a kiss with a slap was epic

[@maximuscaligula]

This is so frustrating for a guy to watch in these situations. Is it just me or why, even though he has the reputation of being a notorious ladies' man, does Rhett keep chasing Scarlett around and trying to get her to love him when she's so not reciprocal about it and all she ever does is drone on about her true love Ashley Wilkes who is happily married to Melanie?

[@TemptressMoon]

+Maximuscaligula Because men are natural hunters who like a good chase and always want what they can't have or have to work for. The girls worth having are the ones who make a man put in the effort. They are the ones that keep a man on his toes and interested, not bored quickly because the chase was so easy. She was also equally matched to him in everyway and he knew it, she was just to stupid to realize it.

[@maximuscaligula]

Melanie Hamilton is certainly more my type and good wife material...

[@tyttiMK]

+Maximuscaligula Didn't you hear what he said? He wants her because they are alike and he knows they both can be honest with each other. He also respects her passion and intelligence, and thinks she is different from all the other women. He is willing to put up a lot because he is also 17 years older than her and knows that she is still a teenager when they met and has a lot of growing up to do.

[@tyttiMK]

+Livingboldlynfierce Maybe that's true if you live in a sexist society but that's not true for most (any?) of the couples I know, many of whom are married.

[@chloedassler6156]

Read the book.

[@veejonesify]

(Disgusted) Don’t hold me like THAT!

[@jennafox8556]

I love this scene. 😍

[@equine2020]

[@nl887265]

[@annacarmelamurao6615]

STILL ONE OF THE BEST SCENES MEGEHD

[@alessandracoronin1587]

Meravigliosi meravigliosi meravigliosi! La coppia piú bella di sempre

[@user-gg2eo5iv7d]

I love this story

[@AustynRich]

Cinematic masterpiece.

[@collistooth8314]

The real hero of these scenes? Scarlett? Rhett? No.the horse...as in life.... animals the silent saviours...

[@luciferia.1313]

I mean, I love this movie. But I have to disagree with the comments that "we need more men like Rhett" and that men need to act again like "real men" back then. As a woman, I like Rhett's personality, but when he got all over dominant over scarlett scared me and I'm sure as hell this isn't what I would more or likely look inside of a man towards me. Modern times are better in some things because people can express themselfs much more then back then into those gender roles what some people never really suited. Its still difficult but at least a little better. And not everybody has the same taste. So its fine to wish for men like Rhett, but saying men need to become real men again then whining like "stop saying what I should or shouldn't do, I'm a woman of my own" is kinda annoying.

[@luciferia.1313]

Also don't forget about wars, I don't wish for any man to go through such a horrible experience!

[@humblefolk1499]

ikr. like, no. men deserved kindness through their trauma too, not this. times of war and all. and it's honestly sad that people wish men went through today what they did back then. they were not okay and it's great that we've progressed as a society.
