Top Three Classic Films: Gone With The Wind, The Lady Eve, Citizen Kane

The three films I am reviewing are classic and are a must see if you are a occupying a space in this world. They are a century old but still seem as if they were made today. These films make you laugh cry, get angry, and be amazed at the craft of filmmaking. They were the Star Wars of their time. The films that changed the rules of filmmaking. They dared to be different paving the way for future filmmakers.

Three Classic films that are required viewing# 1. Gone With The Wind (1939)
This movie is a strong historical drama, which retells the events of the Civil War. The story's heroine centers on a strong-willed young woman Scarlet 0' Hara. She is a woman caught in the middle of a War and two different men, the southern gentleman Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) and Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) from the East. Both are rich and good-looking.

Scarlet convinces herself that she is only in love with Ashley Wilkes. He confesses he is in love with her, however he has to marry his cousin the simple, kind, girl with the heart of gold, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia De Havilland). It is no surprise to people at this period of time because they know that most men love Starlet's free independent mind, however no man will marry such a girl. The movie's setting is the Old South, during the time of the last of the reign of the Southern rich slave masters. The Yankees are about to attack the Confederates because of the disagreement with the North about slavery.

The gentlemen and woman of Georgia are never the same when they begin to experience the hard physical labor of their black slaves. The film tells the audience that despite all the hardships, there is still hope because they have what is most important and essential to them, the land. The beautiful and talented Vivien Leigh stars as the heroine Scarlet O'Hara. Scarlet is a bitchy, selfish, stubborn, strong independent woman who resents the fact that she has to be silly and compliant in order to catch a man. Showing shades of upcoming feminism.
