Gone With The Wind

Gone With The Wind. Today's prompt is to write about Gone With The Wind.

It was my mother's favorite movie. Her ring tone was Gone With The Wind. She collected all the Hallmark Christmas Gone With The Wind ornaments. I have some too.I have Gone With The Wind plates and dolls. Mom had a Gone With The Wind Game, Book and music box and I bought these home.

The movie and the book. Scarlett wasn't nice to her one black maid. The southerners weren't nice to their slaves but Mammy didn't take any crap. The house slaves had the good life.

Scarlett had three husbands and thought she loved someone else for years but she didn't. Losing her daughter when she fell off her pony and died. Scarlett's husband left her and then she realized she really loved him. The ending leaves Scarlett crying on the steps of her fancy mansion. Her best friend was the woman she thought she hated because she wanted her husband. Too late. Her best friend she thought she hated died and her husband she really loved left her. Sad movie.

The Civil War. It was a war between the states. North versus South. The slaves were freed. Life changed for the southerners. An unnecessary war like all wars.

I enjoyed the romance and we do like Scarlett. She had spunk and was high spirited and went after what she wanted. She was spoiled and selfish. No one pushed Scarlett around. You have to love her.

I have 2 copies of the book and and I have the movie. I do need to watch it again. I will watch it with Mom in mind. A movie for everyone about the past and a woman who wasn't afraid of anything. A hero we loved.
