 The movie Gone With The Wind is a very inspirational movie, with romance and a depiction of what happened during the Civil War. There are many characters in the movie, some representing a lovable and caring person, while others have a serious attitude.  As this is my very first time watching this movie, I would honestly say I love this movie. I have heard about Gone With The Wind but have never been that interested in watching it. I am someone that is into war and historical battles, and I like how it portrayed the Civil War.

 Although we only saw the first half of the movie, I would definitely recommend this to those that have not seen it yet. Full of romance and a pretty accurate sense of what it was like as the Civil War was rising. The actors played their part, as well as gave a representation of the historical people they played.  For me, I would say my favorite characters are Rhett Butler, Mammy, as well as Ashley Wilkes. I loved the personalities of each one. They all showed a caring side of them, as well as having their own morals. But out of the ones I picked, I would say Rhett Butler, played by Clark Gable, was my favorite one. 

Rhett Butler comes from the new south. He was more focused on growing the economy and expanding production for companies, without having slavery. He is wealthy himself, but he did not want to enter the war. He wanted to stay at home, and help those around him. For example, Scarlett. The first time meeting, was when Scarlett opened up and told Ashley she loves him. But after Ashley says he is not interested, Scarlet picks up a vase and throws it, almost hitting Rhett. From then on, Butler feel in love with her personality. The way she is outgoing, her boldness as well as her spirit. Although he knew Scarlett wanted Ashley instead, Butler still went out of his way to be there for Scarlett. He was initially very jealous of Ashley, as Scarlett wanted Ashley. But by making simple hints, he was telling Scarlett he wanted her. Butler just did not want to admit it right away, as he thought that anyone that gets involved with her, gets wrecked. 

Butler has a very resilient personality and wants to help out anyone that needs it. As we get closer to the middle of the movie, we see that Butler has a change of heart. Avoiding the war and trying to win Scarlett's heart, to now leaving her on her own and going off to fight with the men. Butler realizes this when they leave the burning city and catch up with the army. "Take a good look my dear. It's an historical moment you can tell your grandchildren about, how you watched the old south fall one night." Slowing down, you can see the sadness in Rhett Butler's face. Determined to help, Butler leaves Scarlett to fend for herself, but tells her how much he cares for her. 

Gone With The Wind is an incredible movie to watch. I never thought such a movie would have me so interested. Keeping me on my toes and often feeling the same emotions as the actors, I truly loved this movie.
