I watched this for the first time the other day cause I was off work and figured it'd be a good way to pass a few hours.

Now i know they're meant to be the epic couple but i just didn't get it. there was somethig about Scarlett that jsut didn't sit right with me.

That was why they were epic. Scarlett was the epitome of a spoiled brat/bitch, and Rhett loved her from the very beginning. She wanted Rhett too but in her head she believed she wanted Ashley (Ashley also led her on SOO much). She was stubborn but ultimately Rhett gave her what she wanted, and he was there for her in one of the worst moments of her life. The beauty of their love story is that she doesn't realize how much she loves him until it's too late. Their story had it all, passion, chemistry, angst, love, tragedy...it was everything.

But yeah Scarlett infuriated me too. But in the end she grows up which is part of the beauty of the story.

Scarlett made me furious in the beginning but she grew on me
She is special, not a woman every man would want, well... they'd probably think they want her and end up like her first two husbands
Mitchell created an interesting, charming and also very edgy character.

BTW has anyone read Rhett Butler's People by now? Any reviews? Please...

Yeah I don't get why that book has such a bad rep I guess I'm grateful to it because I brought it and GWTW together, and read Scarlett right afterwards. I couldn't have dealt with the unhappy ending otherwise

I never saw the mini-series though, to me Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh just are Scarlett and Rhett

I liked the mini-series and the book (sequel) even though Im a HUGE fan of the original. I have watched it countless times and I own it on 3 DVDs. But the sequel did a fine job as well. Yes Clark and Vivien are the epitome of chemistry but I needed a happy ending desperately and the film delivers it so beautifully.

There's a thread for Rhett&Scarlett???? How did I not know about this?

RS are my all time favorite movie/book couple. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh were amazing in the movie. They definitely had the crazy passionate, I'm in love with you but you drive me crazy chemistry needed.

I never read any of sequels, though I know how they end. I'm not really a fan of the idea that someone other than the original author would write a sequel for such an epic book. But I was really happy that in all the sequels they end up together. I mean, how could they not?

I guess it's all part of that desire to "fix" the ending in your head. I was sobbing SO HARD when I got to the end of GWTW and Rhett said he didn't feel anything for Scarlett any more

OMG how did I never see this thread before!!

Please add me to the list!

Rhett and Scarlett are epic - they are my favourite movie couple ever (tied with Rick and Ilsa )!

I've loved this couple since I first saw the film when I was like 5!
