ATTENTION! The epic, which lasts almost 4 hours, will have 1 intermission. On October 7, cinemagoers in Vilnius and Kaunas will have a unique opportunity to see the symbol of Hollywood's golden age - "Gone with the Wind". KINFO film club "Pamatyk kine" invites you to special screenings at "Forum Cinemas" cinemas in Vilnius and Kaunas, during which this famous film, made in 1939, but which still remains one of the most important works of cinema history, will be shown. Scorsese on the magic of Hollywood Gone with the Wind (1939) is more than just a movie, it's a cinematic event that shaped the Golden Age of Hollywood and had a profound impact on the film industry. Directed by Victor Fleming, based on Margaret Mitchell's novel, more than 80 years on, it remains not only an epic story telling, but also a powerful depiction of a woman's life during the Civil War. According to Martin Scorsese, Gone with the Wind and Casablanca are the two most important achievements of the commercial Hollywood studio system. "While I wouldn't say these are the best movies ever made, they do represent the best that studios and producers have to offer." This film still has that old Hollywood magic, something that stirs the imagination as soon as you see those images," said the director when presenting this film at the American Film Institute. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable's captivating on-screen chemistry Vivien Leigh, who played the role of Scarlet O'Hara, was chosen from over 1,400 applicants. It was one of the most important creative decisions, as her character Scarlet became an iconic film character. No less memorable is Clark Gable's role as Rhett Butler. His and Leigh's captivating on-screen chemistry became one of the strongest reasons for the film's success. Their dynamic relationship cemented Rhett and Scarlet as one of cinema's most famous duos, and their passionate scenes continue to captivate audiences around the world. "Frankly, my dear" - when words become a symbol of eternity "Gone with the Wind" became one of the most awarded films in the history of cinema. It won 8 Oscars, including Best Picture. Although the film was made more than 80 years ago, it remains one of the most financially successful films to date, adjusted for inflation. Rhett Butler's quote "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" has become one of the most recognizable quotes in film history. A complicated journey to the big screen The production of Gone with the Wind was no less impressive than its story itself. One of the most memorable scenes - the fire in Atlanta - was filmed by burning old sets from the movie "King Kong". It was considered a highly advanced technical solution that still fascinates film enthusiasts to this day. However, the production process was not easy - the making of the film was accompanied by many challenges. Directors were changed several times: George Cukor was replaced by Victor Fleming, who suffered exhaustion due to the high stress. Despite constant reshoots and creative disagreements, the film managed to combine the contributions of all members of the creative team into a unified and exciting story that has become an integral part of cinema history. Between praise and criticism Gone with the Wind remains one of Hollywood's most iconic classics, but today it faces criticism for its romanticized depiction of slavery and stereotypical African-American characters. Made in 1939, the film reflects the societal norms of the time, which portrayed southern plantation life as nostalgic and idealized, ignoring the horrific realities of slavery. To today's viewer, this approach seems outdated, as it reflects historical myths rather than reality. Today's society, more sensitive to social and racial issues, encourages us to rethink the influence of this film. Despite its controversial elements, Gone with the Wind remains an important cultural artifact that provides an opportunity to critically look at the cinema of the past and its role in shaping the public's view of history. For the modern viewer, this film is important as a source of discussion about artistic responsibility and historical justice. This allows not only to evaluate the film as a work of art, but also to rethink how society's values ​​and attitude towards social and historical events have changed. The film is in English with Lithuanian subtitles. Age limit: N-13. 7-12 years old children must be accompanied by an adult.
