I am very excited about this contest as it is my ultimate movie i have the 50th anniversary and the 70 th anniversary collectors editions.I watch the movie once a week and read the book once a year.the following is my answers to your questions;
1) My favorite line from the book I feel influences all Scarlett’s decisions from then on. It is page 135 the scene with Rhett dancing with Scarlett.he says “Bravo! Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you.Thats the beginning of wisdom.” How to the core of Scarlett’s being does that reach that she, from that point on, no longer cares what others think of her or her actions.
2)My favorite character of course,is Scarlett O’Hara.She is very aware of her god given talents and the power of the game of flirting.She is the puppeteer and men are her puppets on strings doing exactly what she wants, all but the Alluring Rhett Butler.
3)Scarlett is truly good deep down inside.She is simply honest, opinionated and speaks her mind. She is tough and Brave.Scarlett carries the true Southern Pride. She may be determined and selfish but she is a survivor. She portrays Strength ,Honor and Goodness in her magnificent personality.
4) Rhett should not stay with Scarlett. He had given her his whole heart and she rejected him with her obsession with Ashley( which I think her obsession with Ashley is her attempt to remain 16 and still be a southern belle.)Rhett deserved the dignity and satisfaction of having the final say. He walked away with his Pride intact.It ends passionately and final
5)The amount of times I have read the book Gone With the Wind exceeds the 25 years that I have been reading it.I at least read it faithfully once a year to commemorate the book and film.
6) I gut wrench sobbed the very first time i read the book that it left tear stains on the ink in the pages of my copy of Gone With the Wind. Even to this day, when the loss of Bonnie and of then Rhett causes a wrench to twist inside and the tears well up and a feeling of emptiness for Scarlett I feel.
7)My unfaltering choice for Scarlett O’Hara would be modern day southern belle Reese Witherspoon.She displays her southern pride and the strength and charm of Scarlett’s personality.Reese is capable of using flirtting apeal to her advantage over the opposite sex. My choice for Rhett Butler is Mathew McConaughey. He has southern charisma and smoldering sex appeal with the laid back cassual attitude of Rhett Buttler.
