Gone with the Wind was originally released on December 15, 1939 at in Atlanta, Georgia, but many say that it was released on January 17, 1940. This was released as a premiere and there were actually three directors but they all had times when they got worn out and decided to take a break, but in the end Victor Fleming got the most recognition along with Sam Wood and George Cukor also helping out as directors. This movie has been put in many genres including drama, history and romance because of the diversity in the movie. Love and money can change your life for the best or the worst, it can even send you for a whirl, but you have to remember it does not always end in happiness.

All of the characters had perfect outfits that matched the time period and the casual things that a women or man would wear back then. When I think back to civil war and reconstruction times the outfits I would think of are big wide dresses with some type of headwear for the women and a nice suit and tie for the men. I think that the standards back then were a lot higher and no matter where you go you would dress formal and that would go for men and when. Example, in the movie Rhett Butler and Ashley wore a dress shirt and pants with a tie and a dress coat just about every time they showed up. Scarlett and Melanie are two ladies to look at that always wear big puffy dresses that are very wide and wear some sort of headwear that looks like ribbon in a decorative style.

After clothing the second thing I think about if the way the movie was written up. The fact that all of this was going down during the civil war really added a little extra spice. I believe with the addition of the civil war time period it really creates two conflicts in this movie for certain characters. Some characters like Scarlett have internal and external conflicts like having to worry about her husbands and who she really loves but then has external conflicts with the yankees and having to run then off or even kill them if needed.
With two conflicts, there is always something going on and the movie always has your attention because you don’t know what is going to happen

The “song of ice and fire” is not only in the Game of Thrones but we also can notice these symbols in the chapter of Mother, where the source of ice and fire are judges and Pavel with his companions respectively. In the beginning author shows the fire as knowledge and truth, thus judges try to weaken these sparks. We see the first patterns of the fire from the perspectives of the observers in the trail “мигали ослеплёнными глазами, как будто перед ними загорелось нечто яркое, неясных очертаний, непонятного значения”, which gives the feeling that actions in the trail are opening truth for them as light, which they cannot understand yet. In the dialogues that judges reply “Тише, тише!” to the questions of the people and their disturbance as if they are extinguishing the fire, which is desire to know the truth and get some knowledge.
