The Worst Film Ever
Rio Hayward
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

In terms of the gone with the wind saga I am a huge fan. I loved the first movie though there were a couple of details left out. The fact that Scarlett O'HARA had a child with both her first and second husbands. In Movie of the sequel it follows the book pretty well leaving out the same details. But one it comes to the Major climatic part of the movie the move did not follow the book at all. In the book Scarlett almost husband Lord fenton is a much more minor character, he also is not as evil as he is in the movie. He also is not killed and there is no murder trial as a result. Though the forth part and last part of movie follows the book very well. So the movie and book of Scarlett end on the same note but the big moments are vastly different. I wish a big screen movie version would be made that followed the book more closely. Over all the movie is good but the first one is better.

If you really loved GWTW, you will find quite disappointing the story... And probably everything else. Those who may think this is just about a romantic story in the South, will be probably satisfied with this decent TV production (altought I consider an important miscast the choice for Scarlett). But, let me say that considering the novel, nothing good could came out of this.I keep reading from other reviews that this version is not to be compared to the movie or we should think of it as a different, separate story or not paying any attention to the difference in the characters or/and actors playing the main roles. I wouldn't know. Maybe they are right, but as I said before, if you are a true GWTW fan, you certainly expect something with some coherence with the original one (or should I say, a little respect at least).I've read GWTW more than 20 times and I can really appreciate the adaptation Mrs. Mitchell did for the film. It took me some time to understand how good the ending was: Scarlett knew for sure she was going to recover Rhett, since she always got what she wanted. But there was no kiss in the end.Then Alexandra Ripley came to "fix" all this by showing us exactly how modern, perfect and mighty Scarlett could be. And, of course, describing in detail how exactly she gets Rhett back the way she wanted and even after having an important affair with someone else (I am not moralizing but the first two husbands were a different story. I bet nothing could have been further from Mrs. Mitchell mind).The story between these points is, in my opinion, just a long and boring ride made up to tie ends, showing off costumes and scenarios just to give us an obvious and totally unnecessary ending.If Margaret Mitchell could came to live again, she would die one more time at the very moment she'd find out what Scarlett became after GWTW.Sure it's not fair to compare this to the original but this is not GWTW fault. Isn't it? Is it any good if I don't compare it to the original? Maybe. Sorry to say I don't really care.I would expect little more compromise to continue someone else's (suberb) work, otherwise don't even try.

I am insulted and angry over the idea that a sequel to 'Gone with the Wind' should EVER have been undertaken. Having expressed that, I have no problem with the quality of the acting or the actors in this film. The performers are talented people whose talents were wasted on this piece of garbage. The hype surrounding this book and film just happens to be an exercise in futility. I think it will go down as one of the misguided films of Hollywood. I don't believe that the beloved characters created by Margaret Mitchell should have been soiled by the ideas and interpretations of another writer. The film and the book should be on the list of worst ideas conceived in the world of publishing and film-making. The sad thing is that people actually made money off of this tripe.

I've read the book 'Scarlett' and was expecting a good movie the first time I saw it. I'm afraid to say that I was disappointed. The movie did not follow the book and made many changes that I did not like. One of the changes that I did not like the way that Lord Fenton was portrayed. It made no sense to make him out to be a bad man. The way that things ended between Lord Fenton and Scarlett was a lot different and their whole relationship was too intimate. There was also a lot less confrontation between Scarlett and Rhett in the movie than was originally written in the book. The movie sent the two in two completely opposite ways and they did not seem to cross paths often enough to make it seem like there still could be love between the two. A fine movie, but I believe that it certainly could've been better than it was, had it more true to Alexandra Rippley's book.
