Gone With the Wind

Gathered with sister, my mother and kleenex, Oblivious to our red noses, facial poses and tears, Nudging each other with movie memory reflex - Each of us embrace characters long held as dear. We submit joyously to this continuous, intense escape Inside the lives of scandalous Scarlett and romantic Rhett. Trials and tribulations of civil war, deceit and love shape Heaven and hell into a dramatic, unforgettable duet. Torn, we watch as hunger, fear and surrounding violent war, Harms character’s hearts and more discouragements pour. Enemy destruction devastates Southern life and lore. While wishing true love’s fulfillment for Rhett’s desirous heart, Inevitably his sexy charm will wham our hearts like a wild lamb. No one should dare interrupt our favorite, dramatic film art, or Disturb Rhett’s last line, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” ...

If I had to pick a favorite movie guy -- it would be, without a doubt, Clark Gable (at least, the persona he projected on the "silver screen").... Congrats on a fine acrostic tribute, CayCay! :-)

From a woman's perspective, it was a magnificent love story but being raised in the south and still living here it chronicled the end of a way of life. Some of us still have our southern charm and manners and slavery was a blight on American history but it certainly was a romantic lifestyle. Those lazy days and southern draws:) Loved the poem Mrs. CayCay. One of my all time favorite movies! Plus a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

You and I are like-minded, but I didn't go there - both my parents were born and raised in Macon, Georgia, as were their parents, grandparents, and on it goes. Slavery was a blight, but I wish all would realize owners and slaves have long been in graves, plus many cultures were enslaved. Let's live in today! Thank you, Daniel ... CayCay
