‘Gone with the Wind’ is an epic historical romantic movie that is based on Margaret Mitchell’s novel of the same name. A wise person had once told me that the layered storyline offers something new each time you experience the tale. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, ‘Gone with the Wind’ recounts how Scarlett O’Hara, the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner tries to live life, and love, on her terms, in a country that has been ravaged by infighting.
The story offers a critique on slavery, encompasses a memorable love tale, has feminist tones, and is a coming of age experience. So, where can you watch this iconic Hollywood movie? Before we tell you that, we’ll walk you through the plot briefly.
