🇪🇸 En una rica hacienda de algodón del sur de Estados Unidos, Scarlett O'Hara y su familia, viven ociosamente hasta que estalla la guerra de Secesión y la reconstrucción. A través de estos períodos históricos, se desarrolla una narrativa de amor entre: los que se quieren, los no correspondidos, los utilizados y, los que esperan su momento, con Scarlett como piedra angular. Ganadora de 10 Oscars entre los cuales están mejor película, director, guión adaptado, actriz principal, actriz de reparto (Hattie McDaniel, la primera afrodescendiente en ganar un Oscar), etc Criticada en la actualidad por tratar el tema del esclavismo, esta obra maestra sigue inmutable a las quejas oportunistas, que niegan la historia tal como sucedió, por un pensamiento utópico alejado de la realidad. Con una duración de casi 4 horas es un reto y, un imposible para adictos al teléfono móvil. ¿Estarías dispuest@ a verla? Déjamelo en comentarios o privado. 🇬🇧 On a rich cotton farm in the southern United States, Scarlett O'Hara and her family live idly until the Civil War and Reconstruction break out. Through these historical periods, a narrative of love develops between: those who love each other, those who are unrequited, those used, and those who wait for their moment, with Scarlett as the cornerstone. Winner of 10 Oscars, among which are best film, director, adapted screenplay, leading actress, supporting actress (Hattie McDaniel, the first Afro-descendant to win an Oscar), etc. Currently criticized for dealing with the issue of slavery, this masterpiece remains unaffected by opportunistic complaints, which deny history as it happened, due to a utopian thought far from reality. With a duration of almost 4 hours, it is a challenge and impossible for mobile phone addicts. #LoQueElVientoSeLlevó #GoneWithTheWind #VivianLeigh #ClarkGable #OliviaHavilland #HattieMcDaniel #BarbaraO'Neil #OscarPolk #EverettBrown #CarrollNye #MargaretMichell #VictorFleming #MaxSteiner #Metro-Golwyn-Mayer #LeslieHoward #ThomasMitchell #ButterflyMcQueen #EddieAnderson #Pelìculas1939 #Fims1939 #EvelynKeves #Épico #Histórico #Romático #Epic #Romantic https://www.instagram.com/p/CpckOfOt-9H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gone with the Wind (1939)

Some people will hate Gone with the Wind for its dated, even problematic viewpoint. Its nostalgic glance at the pre-Civil War era has drawn particular ire recently. It should. The film barely glosses over slavery and due to its protagonist's worldview is mostly spent lamenting a bygone, carefree era forged at the expense of others. Gone with the Wind does not meet the sensibilities of the 21st century. It would be a relief if this meant it was bad... but it isn't. It's a historically important picture and - assuming you can set aside how you feel about the ideologies it perpetuated - a great film.

On the eve of the American Civil War, Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) pines after her cousin’s fiancé, Ashley (Leslie Howard). As the men leave for battle we witness Scarlett's ruin, recovery, pursuit of Ashley, complex relationship with her cousin Melanie (Olivia de Havilland), and even more complicated romance with Rhett Butler (Clark Gable).

This film deals solely with people who profited from slavery and none of the atrocities blacks suffered at the time or afterward are shown. It's insensitive. No one would tell this story as-is today. Gone With the Wind has a different objective. It shows the war from the perspective of someone who never understood what was happening or what the conflict was about. The young men's biggest concerns are pretty girls. The women, the latest fashion. It's about the hubris of the South and the rich. No one who spends their time indulging as much as they do has any idea what kind of storm is headed their way. The film comments on the south by zooming in so close that all it sees are the lives of Ashley, Rhett Butler, Scarlett, and Melanie. Their suffering is ultimately trivial but it doesn't feel trivial. You get to know them so intimately you're simultaneously aware of what it's omitting and oblivious to it.

At 238 minutes including the entr'acte, intermission, and end credits, you spend so much time with Scarlett O'Hara you come to know her inside and out. She’s not a meek southern flower. She's a person capable of loving, of being afraid, of changing and of making mistakes. She's conniving, manipulative and petty but also sharp and clever. She’s a survivor. The rich material gives the actors every opportunity to show off and the performances are exceptionally strong. You connect with everyone. Even side characters, like Mammy (Hattie McDaniel, who earned an Academy Award for her performance - the first by a black woman) stick with you. It certainly helps that there are many memorable lines, including the all-time best parting words ever exchanged by a couple.

Now we come to the visuals and lavish production. Through the wide shots of a world which no longer exists but has been recreated expertly you feel the devastation of war, the determination needed to rebuild, the desperation of trying to scrape together means of living, the will to do more than just survive. It’s not just one story, just one thing. It’s a criticism of the South’s arrogance and belief that what it was doing was justified. It’s also a romantic drama and the story of a strong woman who refuses to let others step over her.

Many aspects of Gone with the Wind make it a daunting enterprise. Even if you like the film you can't exactly pop it into your machine on a whim - it's too long an investment for that. The subject matter and viewpoint from which it's told make it an uncomfortable watch but it would also be wrong to pre-emptively judge it. Like many older films, you can't just watch it passively. You need to think about what you're seeing and ask questions. You need to consider what it meant then, what it means now, and what impact it will have in the future. No work good or bad is immune to the ravages of time and society's changing views. Despite everything, there's a reason why people are reluctant to let go of Gone with the Wind 75 years later. On top of being historically relevant as a landmark in filmmaking, it's important to show how times have changed and how you don't have to approve of a story's message to enjoy it or recognize it as great. (On DVD, April 9, 2016)

Outward Bound (1930) A desolate ship enshrouded by fog drifts without direction upon a gloomy sea. She is filled to capacity with passengers from all walks. Only one person, the mysterious Examiner seems to know their identities and their reasons for being aboard the ship. Off-beat and well-rendered, Outward Bound is based upon a Broadway play; it was twice remade as Between Two Worlds (1944) and The Flight That Disappeared(1961). It stars Leslie Howard, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Helen Chandler, Beryl Mercer, Montagu Love, Alison Skipworth, Alec B. Francis, and Dudley Digges.                               Leslie Howard played the role of Henry in the stage production of Outward Bound which ran at the Ritz Theatre in New York City January 7 – May 10, 1924. Dudley Digges, Beryl Mercer and Lyonel Watts all reprised their roles for the film. Alfred Lunt played Tom Prior and Margalo Gillmore played Ann.In the film, Howard took Lunt's part and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. played the role originally performed by Howard. "I never saw all of it," said Fairbanks about the film. "It gave me the creeps. Still does, just thinking about it. It was a prestige picture, never made a cent." #oldhollywood #s #classichollywood #vintage #hollywood #goldenageofhollywood #actress #cinema #classic #vintagehollywood #helenchandler #oldhollywoodglamour #oldmovies #classicmovies #lesliehoward #legend #silverscreen #oldhollywoodstars #moviestar #retro #actor #douglasfairbanksjr #movies #goldenage #vintagestyle #classicfilm #beauty #glamour #oldhollywoodglam #shawnvanbriesen (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aQPd1AziD/?igshid=m81ud36wf5rl

A great shot of Humphrey Bogart as Duke Mantee in THE PETRIFIED FOREST (1936), which is the film that launched Bogie’s career. Bogart played the part on Broadway, and it was only because Leslie Howard insisted that Warner Bros. cast him in the film version. Bogart remained grateful to Howard for the rest of his life, and Bogie named his daughter Leslie in tribute to the pivotal role Leslie Howard played in his career. #humphreybogart #thepetrifiedforest #lesliehoward #bettedavis #oldhollywood #classicfilm #warnerbros #goldenageofhollywood #gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/Byqyv_GHAZM/?igshid=1rnyjbvnlj1l1

A lot of great actors were born on April 3rd. Ben Mendelsohn and Leslie Howard are my favorites, completely different but both are/were brilliant actors. So being the movie nerd I am I watch my favorite films with them on this day. I highly recommend watching any of their performances. I don’t think either get enough attention. #benmendelsohn #lesliehoward #mississippigrind #thescarletpimpernel1934 #april3rd #happybirthday #imamovienerd https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb6QYgTN66hZqHF1YCNGPyma53aAeJh2smk3sM0/?utm_medium=tumblr
