It's a pity that this is the only series based on the book. It's full of crap, it's kind of delayed, and there are a lot of discrepancies with the book. And Scarlett wasn't convinced either. Although Timothy Dalton as Rhett is very good.
P.S.: dear moderators, please fix the duration of the series from 480 to 90 minutes.
@Daisy_May: There are not too many discrepancies with the book. Except that the series did not show the uprising in Iran to the extent that it was described in the book.
To be honest, it still remains a mystery to me what the directors were guided by when choosing Joanne Whalley for the role of Scarlett. I have no complaints about Dalton, he is charming in any role. Of course, it is better not to compare with the book at all, because we have overplayed and messed up a lot. However, every time the series is shown on TV, I run headlong to the screen.
I join the above - with the actress for the role of Scarlett, they absolutely missed. She got a much better role in Borgia, for example. But to transfer Scarlett's character to the screens - she (alas) failed. But Timothy Dalton was pleased. I didn't like the plot of the series very much, they screwed it up. Somewhere "UNDER", somewhere "OVER". So I don't even know if I should recommend watching it after Gone With the Wind.
A very bad series, made without a soul, the spirit of the times is not conveyed, the atmosphere is nothing at all. The actress plays very badly, the role is difficult, it is a moody and explosive character, infantile, but strong-willed and strong, she also plays some kind of saint - humble, meek, kind, not Scarlett O'Hara in a word. They also made some kind of slut out of her, it's immediately clear that the series is very modern. The actress seems to have been picked up only because of her external resemblance to Vivien Leigh, and it is true in places, but nothing else at all. A miss is a miss. And Dalton is great, there are no complaints about him
A beautiful and wonderful series. The actors, in my opinion, are ideally matched to their roles and their heroic image. I've heard a lot of negative reviews about the actress playing Scarlett. I still don't understand why I disliked her so outrageously. She is perfect for the role of Scarlett O'Hara Butler.
A heartfelt, emotional and eventful series. No worse than Gone with the Wind. If there's anything missing, it's Gone With the Wind itself with the same cast.
If we treat this series as separate and independent from the book, then it turned out quite well. Only Scarlett is not Scarlett at all here. There are also disagreements, a lot of unnecessary things, etc. But I still looked at it with pleasure.
I can't say that I liked the series. The first episode was difficult, then it went faster. I haven't read the book. Compared to the Ones who were Taken Away, it's not the same at all. I don't see anyone in the role of Scarlett except Vivien Leigh. Well, or at least an actress who looks very similar to her in appearance and charisma.
No matter how well it all ended, I can't attribute this series to a sequel, it's not like if I watched "Gone" in one breath, then I watched this series, periodically glancing at my watch... I won't compare the books here, but what about "Scarlett" in the series and in the book, then the second some of them were completely shoveled, take at least this murder charge, and the lewd behavior of Scarlett herself
Scarlett always knew how to find a way out of a situation. This behavior is not like her at all. She buries herself. For some reason, she confessed to killing a Yankee. I could have said it was slander. And don't say that he doesn't remember anything. "I don't remember, but it's definitely not me." She would have said that she fainted because he hit her. And what a way people in movies/TV series have of grabbing murder weapons.
I don't understand why the servants can't call the police. When a man with a POKER chases a woman and breaks into her, you can imagine that everything will end in murder.
Damn, of course Scarlet is the only one for me and without repeating Vivien Leigh I honestly understand that as a sequel to Gone with the Wind But damn, I like the movie better.
