Gone With the Wind I Will Never Go Hungry Again

Equally God is my witness, I'll never exist hungry over again!

• Rhett Butler, revealing to Scarlett that he has eavesdropped on her entire desperate endeavour to keep Ashley Wilkes from marrying his cousin, and witnessed her destruction of a harmless vase: "Has the war started?" Topped a few seconds subsequently, when Scarlett tells him he is no gentleman, and he responds, "And you, Miss, are no lady."
• Katie Scarlett O'Hara, a crying, crumpled heap in the dirt, hungry, humiliated, everything she's known broken, reduced to clawing expressionless potatoes with her fingers from the basis, begins to stand up:

  "Every bit God is my witness, every bit God is my witness, they're not going to lick me. I'chiliad going to live through this and when it'southward all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, crook or impale. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again!"

• Scarlett waltzing delicately into prison, wearing the finest dress ever seen in the South, despite beingness a few years out of fashion, and despite the fact that she barely has money to buy nutrient. The fabric of the dress looks very much similar the tardily curtains at Tara...
• Scarlett shooting the Yankee soldier right between the eyes. No ane invades Tara when Scarlett is there.
  • Melanie, who has risen from her sickbed and is holding a sword she can barely lift, sees the expressionless Yankee and says, "You lot killed him!... I'm glad y'all killed him."
  • And so Scarlett and Melanie, two "delicate flowers" raised in the well-nigh gentle of environments (at least until the war started), calmly search through the expressionless Yankee's belongings, then keep to cover up the bear witness of the murder (including getting rid of the body) by themselves, without even letting anyone in the family know what had happened. Melanie even effortlessly comes upwardly with a plausible lie when Scarlett's begetter and sisters heard the gunshot.
• The showtime time we see Rhett in the movie. He doesn't do anything merely crack his Clark Gable grin while looking upward at Scarlett yet he looks... awesome.
• Scarlett facing off confronting the Yankees when they try to accept Wade's sword in the volume.
• Melly running back to Tara to help Scarlett put out the fire started by the Yankees. Even Scarlett has to admit that Melly is always there when you need her.
• Mammy ever so delicately pointing out to Scarlett that she "ain't never gonna be 18 inches agin."
• Awesome Music: There'south a reason Max Steiner's score is number two on the listing of AFI's summit 25 film scores ever.
• The impromptu ruse Rhett thinks upwardly to make the Yankees call up the gentlemen of Atlanta were not involved in the Shantytown raid. Especially awesome is how well Melly plays along.
  • This leads to a funny fleck a little later on when Rhett admits to Melanie that he did hibernate the gentlemen in Belle Watling'south "sporting house", and Melanie huffily refuses to believe it.
• Will Benteen skillfully removing the "eulogies from the neighbors" role of Gerald's funeral in order to protect Suellen from their neighbors' wrath.
• Mammy revealing she understands that Scarlett plans on stealing Frank Kennedy from Suellen in lodge to get the money for the taxes on Tara - and giving Scarlett her total back up.
• "Frankly, my beloved, I don't give a damn." Now that'south a line worth waiting four hours for.
  • A bit of context: after years upon years of having her own way and essentially stepping on people, Scarlett finally gets told off. The line is Rhett cementing that, no matter what she tries, Scarlett cannot win this ane.
• "All we got is Cotton, Slaves, and Arrogance!" speech. Rhett manages to deflate the inflated fantasies of a roomful of Southern Gentlemen who are convinced they will defeat the Yankees past pointing out that the North have a fully equipped Navy and Ground forces along with factories that can make weapons with a great sense of at-home and dignity.
  • Ashley declares he will fight for the South just it's a sad, lamentable thing if things aren't fifty-fifty attempted to exist resolved peacefully while warding off any criticisms of his more than hot-blooded peers and gently telling Charles that in that location is no fashion he'd win in a fight with Rhett when the latter was accused of cowardice.
• The ending. As Scarlett breaks down afterward saying adieu to a dying Melanie and failing to cease Rhett from leaving, she remembers her father's words about Tara. And simply as she did earlier, she gathers her forcefulness and swears to return to Tara and find a manner to get Rhett back. Later on all the tragedy she's been through in the past twelvemonth, Scarlett refuses to be brought down by it.

  Scarlett: Tomorrow is another twenty-four hour period!

• Melanie (this shy, intellectual woman who anybody thinks is completely spineless) stands up against her ain family to defend Scarlett, calling out several of Atlanta'southward most influential women (and, by extension, their ostracising, oppressive Southern civilization). If anyone but Melanie had done so, they would have been fabricated just as much an outcast as Scarlett; only as things get, Melanie's unyielding defense of her friend sparks a miniature ceremonious war in the boondocks. Her speech communication is about plenty to make the reader believe that Scarlett is a good person.
• The soldier Dr. Meade is working on when Scarlett comes to beg him to help Melanie through childbirth. Despite the hellish situation he's in he manages to be in a fabled mood, cheer the doctor on when he rants almost the yankees ("Give them hell, physician!") and even shows Scarlett sympathy for the predicament she'due south in.
• Big Sam rescuing Scarlett from two men that are trying to rape her. Continue in mind, at first he doesn't even know it's his erstwhile possessor (who he does still hold some affection for) calling for help. All he hears is a adult female in distress and immediately jumps into action, not caring if she'south black or white. He takes out of of the men with one dial and throws the other into the creek after a struggle. In the book, he even offers to go back and beat them up worse if she wants him to. Scarlett, usually a cold-hearted bitch towards anyone who helps her since she thinks that means weakness in herself, realizes how lucky she was Sam heard her, and thanks him profusely.
• From the novel, Old Miss Fontaine's response when Scarlett tells her most of Tara's cotton has been burned and the field slaves accept gone.

  "'Mercy me, all our field easily are gone and in that location's nobody to option information technology!'" mimicked Grandma and bent a satiric glance on Scarlett. "What's wrong with your own pretty paws, Miss, and those of your sisters?"

• This film is the highest-grossing-film of all time adjusted for inflation.
